Hot off the surprise hit of his sea-mad mind-trip The Lighthouse, director Robert Eggers next sets his sights on The Northman, a Viking-era revenge tale. Back in October of 2019, it was reported that brothers Alexander Skarsgård and Bill Skarsgård would join the cast, marking their first film together since Bill’s 2000 feature debut, White Water Fury. Alas, some bummer news: While speaking to Bill Skarsgård about Netflix’s The Devil All the Time, Collider confirmed that the actor had to drop out of Eggers’ film due to scheduling conflicts brought on by the COVID pandemic.

Here’s exactly what Skarsgård said:

“No, unfortunately. It’s been a scheduling nightmare during COVID. It is what it is. It’s a big shame. Eggers is one of the great filmmakers out there and working with my brother…I don’t want to talk about it, it’s going to make me burst into tears.”
