This looks like a rollicking good time:

From the Wikipedia article on it, it says this about the cast:

Set at the turn of the tenth century in Iceland, it stars Alexander Skarsgård as Viking prince Amleth, who sets out on a mission of revenge after his father is murdered. Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Anya Taylor-Joy, Björk, Ralph Ineson, Ethan Hawke, and Willem Dafoe also star.

That’s… huh. A Viking epic with Björk *and* Willem Dafoe? Who the hell could say no to *that*? Add in the lack of stunt casting (Scandinavian characters played by people who actually look like Scandinavians… what a concept!!) that it’s directed by the guy who directed “The VVitch,” and hey presto, “The Northman” looks like a winner.
