'Vikings: Valhalla' cast character details

Sam Corlett will portray Leif Eriksson. He is a Greenlander, raised on the outer fringes of the known world. Leif comes from a tightly-knit family steeped in the old pagan beliefs. An intrepid sailor and physically tough, he is the entry into a Viking world in the throes of violent change.

Bradley Freegard is King Canute, the ruler of Denmark. A wise, savvy, and ruthless Viking leader. He keeps his friends close and enemies closer. Canute's ambitions will mold the course of history in the 11th century and make him a defining figure of the Viking age.

Jóhannes Jóhannesson essays Olaf Haraldson. He is Harald’s older half-brother. Olaf is physically huge and ambitious; he is a stern and unforgiving Viking. Olaf is an “Old Testament” Christian.
