Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The troll's design draws directly from Theodor Kittelsen's iconic 19th-century illustrations, which basically defined how Norway sees its own folklore.
Director Roar Uthaug made 2018's Tomb Raider, so this is technically his 'one for me' after his Hollywood payday. The troll has more personality than Alicia Vikander's entire performance.
