Those of you who are glued to the Net during these still pandemic times might recall that the last time I lent a little attention to the Focus Features upcoming film “The Northman” was way, way back in December when we got the Official Trailer (which you can review by clicking that highlighted text). While I don’t know if another one is coming, I wanted to revisit the topic since the movie is being released in a few weeks. This post presents a few of the promotional posters that I found around the web and it showcases some Hollywood greats in true Viking style. I’ve also added the premise and casting for good measure.

Piercing Ken Thoughts: Much like our regular Comic Book variant cover posts over on PiercingMetal, I don’t generally comment in on the myriad of promotional posters that come from the films or television shows but I do still love sharing them with the readership. You’re most welcome to chime in of course because we love the engagement. I was surprised we haven’t received a second trailer but if one comes I will return to the topic and place it here for your perusal. As I wrap this up I say thanks for reading and please stay safe out there. Until next time.
