Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is set to make his feature film acting debut in the upcoming animated movie “Viqueens,” according to multiple reports. The Norwegian international will provide the voice for a Viking character in the film, with both outlets describing the role as closely tied to Haaland himself. The Hollywood Reporter says Haaland will voice a Viking warrior, while The Guardian reports that he plays an animated version of himself. “Viqueens” is directed by Harald Zwart, the Dutch-Norwegian filmmaker known for titles including “The Karate Kid” and “Agent Cody Banks.” Zwart is also credited with co-writing the project. The reports characterize Zwart’s casting of Haaland as reflecting qualities he attributes to the player, including being “powerful” and “fearless,” and highlight Haaland’s Norwegian background. The outlets do not provide additional plot details beyond Haaland’s voice role and the film’s animated Viking premise.
