Haaland the Viking: Erling Haaland Makes Film Debut in 'ViQueens' Animated Adventure
Norwegian soccer sensation Erling Haaland is set to make his film debut in the upcoming animated movie "ViQueens," directed by Harald Zwart. Haaland will voice a Viking character named Haaland in the film, which is described as an adventure-comedy set in a world of warrior girls, icy fjords, and Silk Road mythology. With his Viking-like appearance and impressive soccer career, Haaland's casting in the film is fitting and adds an authentic energy to the story.
In "ViQueens," pop singer Rita Ora and actress Ella Purnell voice the lead characters, Hedvig and Ingrid, two rebellious Viking girls on a cross-cultural journey from Norway to China. The star-studded cast also includes Steve Speirs, Anton Lesser, and Alan Carr in various roles. Acclaimed composer Christophe Beck is creating the original score for the film, adding to its appeal.
Director Harald Zwart, known for his work on both European and Hollywood films, is helming "ViQueens," his first animated feature. The movie is currently in production, with Sola Media handling worldwide sales. Haaland's involvement in the project is expected to enhance its international appeal, given his massive global fan base and cultural influence.
"ViQueens" is expected to be delivered in late 2026, with a planned home territory release for Christmas. The film promises to combine international adventure, humor, and emotional storytelling, making it a highly anticipated project for audiences worldwide. Haaland's participation in the film adds an exciting dimension to the already star-studded cast and creative team, ensuring a memorable cinematic experience for viewers.
