In a new deep-dive featurette, executive producers Zack Snyder and Deborah Snyder explore the figures and fables of Norse mythology that inspired their brutal, bloody new adult animated saga Twilight of the Gods. The series premiered September 19 on Netflix after sneak peeking the first four minutes of footage for Geeked Week.
The featurette offers a glimpse at character design development as well as more footage from this epic animated world. Watch below!
Synopsis: In a mythical world of great battles, great deeds and great despair, Leif (Stuart Martin), a mortal King, is saved on the battlefield by Sigrid (Sylvia Hoeks), an iron-willed warrior with whom he falls in love. On their wedding night, Sigrid and Leif survive a wrath of terror from Thor (Pilou Asbæk), which sets them — and a crew of crusaders — on an against all odds and merciless mission for vengeance. This heroic story of love, loss and revenge, is a journey to Hell and beyond … across fantastical lands, battlefields fierce and bloody, and wars waged against Gods and demons.
From Stone Quarry Animation, the animated series is co-created by Zack Snyder, Jay Oliva and Eric Carrasco and executive produced by Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder, Wesley Coller and Jay Oliva. The animation house is Xilam Animation. Zack Snyder directs the first and final episode, while additional directors include Jay Oliva and Andrew Tamandl with Tim Divar and Dave Hartman.
