"They want a war... I will give it to them."

Following several brief teasers, Netflix (via Toonado.com) has released an action-packed full trailer for Zack Snyder's adult animated Norse mythology series, Twilight of the Gods, which is set to premiere on the streaming service on September 19.

This "blood, sex and dragons" promo makes it abundantly clear that this will not be a show for the whole family, as a mortal warrior named Sigrid wages war against Loki, Thor and all of their fellow Asgardian gods in extremely violent fashion while also taking care of some other business in the bedroom (well, bearskin).

"In a mythical world of great battles, great deeds, and great despair, Leif (Stuart Martin), a mortal king, is saved on the battlefield by Sigrid (Sylvia Hoeks), an iron-willed warrior with whom he falls in love," reads the recently-released synopsis. "On their wedding night, Sigrid and Leif survive a wrath of terror from Thor (Pilou Asbæk), which sets them — and a crew of crusaders — on a merciless mission for vengeance, against all odds. This heroic story of love, loss, and revenge, is a journey to hell and beyond … across fantastical lands, battlefields fierce and bloody, and wars waged against deities and demons."

Check out the new red-band trailer below, and let us know what you think in the comment section.

The impressive voice cast features Sylvia Hoeks (Blade Runner 2049, The Girl in the Spider’s Web) as SIGRID, Stuart Martin (Jamestown, Babylon) as LEIF, Pilou Asbæk (Game of Thrones, Ghost in the Shell) as THOR, John Noble (Fringe, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King) as ODIN, Paterson Joseph (Peep Show, The Leftovers) as LOKI, Rahul Kohli (iZombie, The Haunting of Bly Manor) as EGILL, Jamie Clayton (Sense8, The L Word: Generation Q) as THE SEID-KONA, Kristopher Hivju (Game of Thrones, The Witcher) as ANDVARI, Peter Stormare (Fargo, Prison Break) as ULFR, Jamie Chung (The Hangover Part II, Once Upon a Time) as HEL, Lauren Cohan (The Walking Dead, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice) as INGE, and Corey Stoll (House of Cards, Ant-Man) as HRAFNKEL.

Stone Quarry Animation developed the series with Xilam Animation, a Parisian production company behind the likes of Oggy and the Cockroaches.

Twilight of the Gods has been rated TV-MA, with notices for language, nudity, sex and smoking.

I love the animation style, but it just looks like more edgelord silliness.

@MarkCassidy - Exactly. Shock value as the main highlight. I'm out.

@MarkCassidy - To even emphasize on the edgelordness the first to text to pop up are bold and sex... no mention of the story.

@Arthorious - Exactly. Is this following Norse mythology? Is this an original story? Who are the protagonists?!

I like Snyder, but since the Snyder Cut he has made a nosedive in quality. Couldn't even finish "Army of the Dead"...

Is this the serious Thor everyone wants?

Seems like it could be fun so I would give it a shot!!.

I like the animation aswell , feels very storybook or of like a legend being told if that makes sense..

Hell of a cast too!!.

Also this further proves to me that Snyder might be able to do a God of War film or tv series (atleast based on the the earlier games then the recent ones).

@TheVisionary25 - I like the animation, but it looking cool is pretty much a guarantee with Snyder.

Outside of that though, he has little to offer. So I kinda hope he stays far away from God of War.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 8/22/2024, 9:40 AM
@bkmeijer1 - I get it but the earlier Greek set games didn’t really have much or any real depth to them and were filled with violence and sex.

The recent Norse games had the violence but also more of an emotional maturity and depth aswell as nuance to them hence why i felt he would be a better fit for the former

bkmeijer1 - 8/22/2024, 10:59 AM
@TheVisionary25 - for the original version I guess it would fit, but going back to that version would feel like a step in the wrong direction for the IP
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 8/22/2024, 11:25 AM
@bkmeijer1 - perhaps

I think you could do a film or tv series about both (maybe moreso the Norse one then Greek
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 8/22/2024, 12:47 PM
@TheVisionary25 - I think there's already a tv show in the works based on the fourth game. One season Greek, another Norse could be fun though

Nah, I’ll pass. But hopefully he won’t feel a need to release a Snyder Cut version months later *smh*

@TheNewYorker - He probably has it cooked up and ready to go.

@TheNewYorker - He'll release the PG-13 version

On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being 100% violent gory Norse mythology....

Thor L&T was a 2-3

God of War Thor was an 7-9

Thor Ragnorok was a 3-5

Infinity War was a 4-6

I believe want that 5-7 range of Thor in the MCU.

Tough, unafraid to get bloody, curiously funny, not silly. One who could fight against Ghost Rider in one scene, and help an alien race in another.

Long story short:

Focuses so much on the shock value and not the story itself. Yup! This is a Zack Snyder production!

he can't help himself. It's so sad.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 8/22/2024, 10:00 AM
@SATW42 - ehhh , if this is the type of content he likes then oh well…everyone has different tastes (hell I can enjoy it too at times).

As long as he has those sensibilities away from the DC universe , I’m good with him making original projects like this.
SATW42
SATW42 - 8/22/2024, 5:31 PM
@TheVisionary25 - it’s Greek mythology, it’s not all that original
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 8/22/2024, 5:34 PM
@SATW42 - true but he’s telling it in his own way

Also it’s Norse
SATW42
SATW42 - 8/22/2024, 5:37 PM
@TheVisionary25 - I mean by that logic, the new Snow White movie is original because it’s a different filmmaker telling a story their way
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 8/22/2024, 5:41 PM
@SATW42 - fair enough

I guess not entirely original but still his version of Norse mythology

Zack Snyder has become M. Night Shymalan - a filmmaker who has had more misses than hits, yet somehow continues to get funding for movies.

Ignore the haters, this looks good to me, looking forward to it, animation looks good too!
Could do without the needless VULGARITY though, but FOUL MOUTHED LANGUAGE seems to be accepted as normal these days. Shows how far society has fallen.
