The entire cast of Nikolaj Arcel’s next epic historical drama “The Bastard” (formerly known as “King’s Land”) has been revealed by Zentropa Entertainments. Shooting for the movie has recently begun.

In addition to Mads Mikkelsen and Amanda Collin from “Raised by Wolves,” Simon Bennebjerg from “Borgen” will play Frederik de Schinkel, a local landowner and the antagonist of Mads Mikkelsen’s character Ludvig Kahlen in the film.

Edel Helene, the cousin of Frederik de Schinkel, will be played by Norwegian actress Kristine Kujath Thorp (“Ninjababy,” “Sick of Myself”), who will be caught up in a lethal game of power and love between Shinkel and Kahlen.

The role of pastor Anton Eklund, Kahlen’s unusual ally, will be played by Gustav Lindh, a Riders of Justice actor and European Shooting Star winner.

Other actors in the cast include Felix Kramer in “Dark,” Jakob Lohmann in “Riders of Justice,” Morten Hee Andersen in “Ride Upon the Storm,” Magnus Krepper in “Queen of Hearts,” and others.
