BLOODAXE EPIC SERIES
CASTS XAVIER MOLYNEUX AS LEAD
Back in March I told you that MIchael Hirst and his son Horatio are preparing new Viking series BLOODAXE and today it has been revealed that Australian actor Xavier Molyneux will take the lead
role. Done for Prime Video, the series chronicles the rise of one of history’s most famous Viking warriors, Erik Bloodaxe (Molyneux), and his formidable wife, Gunnhild, Mother of Kings. As they fight for the throne of Norway, the land is torn apart by fierce rivals, shifting loyalties, and bloody betrayals. With war looming and chaos consuming the kingdom, drawing in the ruthless Kings of other Scandinavian countries, and even a powerful English ruler, the stage is set for a thundering, cataclysmic, compelling and utterly magical new Viking Saga.

Will keep my eyes peeled. I do like me some good Viking tales.
ReplyDeleteValhalla was nice, but this one is no match for Leo Sutter nor other actors from it, not sure he is handsome and charismatic enough for a lead, but we shall see.
DeleteI thought the same, too. He just doesn't have that rugged, sexiness about him. He's cute in a boy-next-door kind of way, but for a Viking, they're going to have to work some magic to make it believable.
DeleteHope he proves us wrong.
