She enlists a cast of characters - a seer, a dwarf - and they come together to form a band that has this one mission to find a god and fight him.
It’s a mission, it’s a revenge story. Sigrid is this beautiful, very Scandinavian kind of cold but passionate character that I’ve really enjoyed working through and with because she’s just so cool. Sylvia Hoeks voices her."
