"We did have a lot of stunt rehearsals, and it was definitely required," Norton told RadioTimes.com. "Reykjavík is tiny. More people live in York than the whole of Iceland, and they all love their swimming pools and their cold plunge and hot plunge."
"I learned that," added his co-star. "I'd never done it before. The first time, you feel that you're about to die, and then you suddenly realise, oh, this is really nice."

Coster-Waldau, who is 15 years older than Norton, then recalled a scene in which the pair fight naked in bathtub.

"Harold of Wessex and William of Normandy were two men destined to meet at the Battle of Hastings in 1066; two allies with no design on the English throne, who found themselves forced by circumstance and personal obsession into a war for possession of its crown."

"And one of them would have to die," he added.
Alongside Norton and Coster-Waldau, the rest of the cast includes Emily Beecham (The Pursuit of Love, 1899), Clémence Poésy (Harry Potter, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon), Eddie Marsan (Ray Donovan, The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe), Juliet Stevenson (Bend It Like Beckham, Wolf), Clare Holman (Lewis, Sherwood), Luther Ford (The Crown, Black Doves), Bo Bragason (Renegade Nell, The Jetty), and Indy Lewis (Industry, House of David).
