After releasing the second part of his sci-fi epic, Rebel Moon: The Scargiver, director Zack Snyder has revealed the first look at his upcoming animated series Twilight of the Gods, which will drop on the streamer sometime this fall. The project is one among many, set between Snyder and Netflix, under their deal. The new image sees the protagonist, Sigrid, a character inspired by Norse mythology. While not much is known about the project, the image gives us a good look at the slick animation style and its setting, which looks incredible.
The series is directed by Jay Oliva, the storyboard artist behind many DC films, who also serves as executive producer and showrunner, while Snyder writes and produces the eight-part animated series. Speaking to Collider, during CCXP, the director hinted at the story, revealing it is set in a small Viking village where a king and his queen want to get married.
He further elaborated, “An event happens to them at their wedding that causes Sigrid, who is the bride-to-be, who is the child of giants, to go on a crazy mission of revenge. She enlists a cast of characters — a seer, a dwarf — and they come together to form a band that has this one mission to find a god and fight him.” He further described it as a “mission, it’s a revenge story.” Adding “Sigrid is this beautiful, very Scandinavian kind of cold but passionate character that I’ve really enjoyed working through and with because she’s just so cool.Sylvia Hoeks voices her.”
