Manchester City striker Erling Haaland will make his acting debut voicing an animated Viking version of himself in the upcoming film ViQueens, directed by Harald Zwart.
The animated adventure-comedy, set for release on December 25, 2026, features Haaland as a “legendary Viking” in a story involving Norwegian fjords and Silk Road mythology.
This project marks a shift from the pitch to the big screen for the Norwegian star, capitalizing on his popular “Viking” persona.

The adventure-comedy is directed and co-written by the award-winning Harald Zwart, the Norwegian director known for The Karate Kid and Agent Cody Banks.
‘As a Norwegian storyteller making a Viking adventure for a global audience, having Erling Haaland join feels incredibly exciting,’ said Zwart.
‘Erling has already become a kind of real-life Viking icon around the world – powerful, fearless and uniquely Norwegian.
‘Bringing him into this universe as himself gives the film an unexpected energy and authenticity that felt completely right for this story.’
