If you've ever wondered how Zack Snyder would interpret legendary mythical characters such as Thor, Loki and Odin, you'll get to find out in Twilight of the Gods.
The Justice League and Rebel Moon - Part Two - The Scargiver director has now shared a first official look at his upcoming animated Norse Mythology series, while confirming that the show will debut later this year.
First announced way back in 2019, it's taken quite a while to find its way to our screens, but the series will finally premiere on Netflix this Fall.
The project has been described as "Anime-influenced," but judging by this image, we'd say the animation style has more in common with the Academy Award-nominated Cartoon Saloon studio, which developed Irish features The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea, The Breadwinner and Wolfwalkers.
Plot details are still mostly under wraps, but Snyder did give us some idea of what to expect during an interview with Collider late last year.
“There’s a king and his queen in a small Viking village, and they want to get married. An event happens to them at their wedding that causes Sigrid, who is the bride to be, who is the child of giants, to go on a crazy mission of revenge. She enlists a cast of characters – a seer, a dwarf – and they come together to form a band that has this one mission to find a god and fight him. It’s a mission, it’s a revenge story.”
He also noted that the series will feature “a lot of sex [...] because that’s fun.”
Though Snyder didn't reveal the name of the character in the image, we assume this is Sigrid.
