SHOOTING THE KATTEGAT BATTLE IN VIKINGS: VALHALLA

Filming is a long and tiring process altogether. Some scenes take an emotional
toll while others a physical. Battle sequences take a toll both emotionally and
physically. And Vikings: Valhalla is full of them, but one takes the cake. It is
the final Battle of Kattegat. And now the actors are sharing
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvz2ZKuMIOI] how the filming of this grand
battle took place.

The trio shared that the scene’s filming took place over five days which they
called “the battle week.” Sam shares fun trivia about how the trebuchets they
used in the scene were not actual canons but colored watermelons. While talking
about the Kattegat wall and how the whole set was actually built instead of CGI.

Actress Frida shares that the stunt man’s army did not know that. Ferydis would
be throwing actual stones at them to keep the scene authentic and real. So Frida
says their faces were filled with fear as they had no idea.

In the battle, Arne Gormsson loses his life while fighting and we see him trying
to get one last hit before falling down. Leo says that it was actor Pääru Oja’s
improvisation as he had seen Joaquin Phoenix in a boxing film trying to punch
his opponent before getting knocked out. Frida calls his death “the best death
ever.”

A fun joke that Leo share is that while in scenes you get hurt the actors could
not moan out loud as it made the horses insane. So when in the battle he gets
injured and Freydis picks him up. He does not make a sound as previously when he
did the horses started galloping.

there is no actual place called Kattegat. In fact, Kattegat is made up sea in
between Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
