Haaland Becomes Viking Icon in New Animated Film
15 May
Summary
- Erling Haaland voices an animated Viking version of himself.
- The film features rebellious Viking girls traveling from Norway to China.
- ViQueens is slated for delivery in late 2026 with a Christmas release.
Norwegian football legend Erling Haaland will lend his voice to an animated character named Haaland, a Viking, in the upcoming adventure-comedy 'ViQueens.' The film centers on two rebellious Viking girls, Hedvig and Ingrid, who embark on a cross-cultural journey from Norway to China.
Haaland's casting is fitting given his imposing physique and speed, often drawing comparisons to Viking warriors. He holds the Premier League single-season goals record and was the fastest to score 100 goals. Director Zwart highlighted Haaland's global icon status as a 'real-life Viking.'
'ViQueens' features a notable voice cast including Rita Ora and Ella Purnell as the leads, alongside Steve Speirs, Anton Lesser, and Alan Carr. Acclaimed composer Christophe Beck is creating the original score. The film is currently in production with worldwide sales handled by Sola Media.
Expected for delivery in late 2026, 'ViQueens' is also planning a home territory release this Christmas. The film's international appeal is expected to be boosted by Haaland's involvement, as he is a recognizable athlete with a massive global following.
