Warrior Sigrid faces off against Norse god Thor after surviving the latter’s wrath on her wedding night in a fresh teaser of Zack Snyder’s upcoming Netflix animated series Twilight of the Gods.
Dropped by the streamer on Wednesday, the one-minute-three-second-long teaser introduces us to the brutal world of the series where mortals and immortals are locked in a fierce war. It kicks off by introducing Thor and Loki as Sigrid’s voiceover defiantly declares, “We fear no gods.” The video also showcases gory battle sequences, with crusaders slaying dragons and offering a first glimpse of Odin.
“Watch a brand-new preview of Zack Snyder's upcoming animated series Twilight of the Gods in all its bloody glory. Just... maybe not at your desk,” Netflix captioned the teaser on X.
Twilight of the Gods, slated to hit Netflix on September 19, revolves around Sigrid, an iron-willed warrior who saves the mortal king Leif on a battlefield. Leif falls in love with Sigrid and marries her. However, they survive Thor’s wrath on their wedding night and subsequently set on a mission to avenge their loss.
“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 deities and demons,” reads a snippet from Netflix’s official synopsis of the series.
While Sylvia Hoeks has voiced Sigrid in the series, Stuart Martin has lent his voice for Leif. Pilou Asbæk, on the other hand, voices Thor. Apart from them, the voice cast also includes Rahul Kohli, Paterson Joseph, Jamie Clayton, Birgitte Hjort Sørensen, Kristofer Hivju, Thea Sofie Loch Næss, John Noble and Peter Stormare.
Twilight of the Gods is co-created by Jay Oliva and Eric Carrasco. Snyder, Jay Oliva, Tim Divar, Andrew Tamandl and David Hartman will all be directing the episodes of the animated series.
Snyder and Wesley Coller’s production company’s new venture Stone Quarry Animation is the studio behind Twilight of the Gods. Paris-based Xilam Animation is also assisting Snyder’s animation team.
