Coming to cinemas on boxing day 2026, Rita Ora and Ella Purnell have been unveiled for the lead voice cast roles of Harald Zwart’s animated viking girls adventure ViQueens as Sola Media gear up to launch sales at the AFM.
Billed as a high-energy adventure-comedy, ViQueens follows two fearless Viking girls, Ingrid (Purnell) and Hedvig (Ora), as they defy tradition to return a stowaway boy to China. Their journey spans icy fjords, Byzantine intrigue, and the fabled Silk Road, blending Viking grit with ancient Chinese wisdom, unexpected alliances, and a touch of magic.
Award-winning composer Christophe Beck, whose scores for Frozen and Frozen II are known to hundreds of millions worldwide, with other credits including Buffy The Vampire Slayer, has written the original score for the film.
The feature marks Dutch-Norwegian director Zwart’s first animated feature after live-action titles such as World War Two drama The 12th Man; fantasy adventure The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and The Karate Kid, starring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith.
