Netflix has released the trailer for Zack Snyderthe next animated series by Twilight of the Godsand teased the epic scope of the story and, as you’ll see, there will be a lot of blood.
The Netflix project was announced a couple of years ago and is a Norse mythology series that will tell a story of revenge. The series is described as “an all-new, bold and spectacular animated take on Norse mythology.”
The synopsis reads: “In a mythical world of great battles, great deeds and great desperation, LEIF, a mortal king, is saved on the battlefield by SIGRID, an iron-willed warrior with whom he falls in love.
“On their wedding night, SIGRID and LEIF survive THOR’s wrath of terror, which takes them – and a crew of crusaders – on a ruthless mission of revenge against all odds.
“This heroic story of love, loss and revenge, is a journey to Hell and beyond…through fantastic lands, fierce and bloody battlefields, and wars waged against Gods and demons.”
Speaking about the story of the series, Snyder said: “It’s basically this: There’s a king and his queen in a little Viking village, and they want to get married. During their wedding an event happens to them that causes Sigrid, who is the bride-to-be, who is the son of the giants, embarks on a madcap mission of revenge.
“He enlists a cast of characters – a seer, a dwarf – and they come together to form a gang that has this mission: to find a god and fight him. It’s a mission, it’s a story of revenge.
“Sigrid is a beautiful character, very Scandinavian, cold but passionate, who I really enjoyed working with because she is really fantastic. Sylvia Hoeks voices her.”
Snyder also said the show will have “a lot of sex […] because it’s fun” and that the first season will consist of eight episodes.
The full voice cast for Twilight of the Gods includes Sylvia Hoeks in the role of Sigrid, Stuart Martin as Leif, Pilou Asbæk in the role of Thor, Giovanni Nobile like Odin, Paterson Joseph like Loki, Rahul Kohli in the role of Egill, Jamie Clayton like the Seid-Kona, Kristopher Hivju like Andvari, Pietro Stormare like Ulfr, Jamie Chung like Hel, Lauren Cohan like Inge, and Corey Stoll like Hrafnkel.
