White supremacists hijack The Northman: Blockbuster starring Nicole Kidman features Nordic lore popular with alt-right groups who hail its 'all-white cast and pure masculinity'

White supremacists have claimed ownership over the new Viking Hollywood blockbuster The Northman, which stars Nicole Kidman and Anya Taylor-Joy.

The epic historical film, which has been released nationwide today, is the latest from Robert Eggers (The Witch, The Lighthouse) and a violent revenge tale taken from Viking legends.

However its 'all-white cast', which features famous faces including Alexander Skarsgård and Ethan Hawke, as well as it's 'pure macho stereotypes' have seen the blockbuster championed by supremacists before it was even released.

Posts on Reddit and 4Chan have been celebrating the film, with one 4Chan user writing: 'Robert Eggers. He is restoring pride in our people with his great films. The Northman is going to be epic… Hail Odin.'

Another person commented: 'Northman is a based [agreeable] movie, all white cast and shows pure raw masculinity.'

The connection between white supremacy and an interest in Viking culture is not new.

A number of alt-right terrorists have referenced the medieval period during their attacks in recent years, including Australian Brenton Tarrant, 28, who killed at least 49 people in a Christchurch mosque in 2019 and Jeremy Christian who killed two women in 2017.

MailOnline has contacted Focus Features for comment.

To the Left, an all white cast (despite its appropriateness in the context of this movie) and display of normal masculinity automatically equates to white supremist. I swear these people are sick in the head.

Netflix also made a “Compton” version of LotR show.

Nah, that was Amazon.

Same difference, I know...

No Viking Kitties were harmed in the making of this film.

affirmative action hiring for that role. I can hear Fred Sanford now. The ugliest of the ugly. So why don’t they remake “Zulu” and put in a white chief?

Well, there were blacks (Moors) on the Muslim raiding ships which were kidnapping people to sell in the Arabic slave markets. It could be possible a black face was seen once in awhile. Really, it could be.

You mean there aren’t any conspicuous out of place black people that don’t belong in that historical context?! 🤪

Realism - what a concept 🙄

I need to start a non-profit to fight “white supremacy” and get in on the scam.

This reminds me that I’d still like to get funding for my reimagining of “Thelma and Louise” where Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. go on a hilarious romp across America stopping in at one gay bar after another and making profane comments about the cocktails and cuisine.

Malcolm X will be played by Awkwafina and I’ve got in mind Jon Lovitz to deliver a nuanced and sensitive portrayal of MLK, Jr.

What I’d really like to see is an Epic historical film of the great sea-faring and explorer nations of Africa.

That’d be great!

Wait a sec.....

yes but this is a movie about Vikings not muslim moors running around the place. Point being political correctness has no place in re-writing history.

If you are doing a movie on Vikings and Nordic people use nordic people

If you are doing a movie on Muslim Moors use muslim moors.
