While speaking with Empire, Alexander focused in on one particular scene in the drama, adding that it took 30 takes to get perfect.

“It was the end of a very long, complex shot of the Viking berserkers raiding a Slav village,” Alexander recalled. “The choreography was so difficult, with all these elements, 50 people fighting simultaneously, the extras and the horses… making it look perfect was a real undertaking…”

He went on, saying that the “climax, where I rip a guy’s throat out and howl at the moon… it was primal. I just let it all out. I was exhausted, and I think you see it in the shot. I was a wreck. Truly a wreck.”

The Northman will be out in theaters on April 22, 2022. Watch the trailer here!
