So Kit Harington ended up on the throne after all??? He stars as Henry V in a modern retelling of Shakespeare???s classic play, broadcast live on the big screen. Why the modern setting, you ask? Because chainmail and swords are so six centuries ago.

Hamlet

No, it???s not the Hamlet you???re thinking of, but rather the Viking version of him. Funnily enough, Shakespeare???s classic play was actually based on an old Scandinavian folktale, so this epic new depiction is technically bringing things full circle. We can???t wait to see Alexander Skarsg??rd???s Danish Prince go on a vengeful rampage in The Northman.
