Director Robert Eggers‘ new film The Northman is an action-filled epic that follows a young Viking prince on his quest to avenge his father’s murder and to save his mother (Kidman).

Nicole opened up about the movie last year before filming began. She told Collider, “I made that pledge when I was about 14 years old that I would travel the world and work with different nationalities in different countries and different genres with different stories. That’s my calling. So to have been asked to do it is a privilege. A lot of the things, as an actor, you’ve gotta be asked to do them. … [The Northman] is Robert Eggers‘ story and his vision. I hopefully bring something to the equation but I’m there to participate and contribute.”
