Mortal – 2020’s Unexpected Superhero Movie | Video Review

November 3, 2020 by EJ Moreno

Mortal, 2020.

Written and Directed by André Øvredal.
Starring Nat Wolff, Priyanka Bose, Iben Akerlie, Arthur Hakalahti.

In a year with no Marvel movies, there’s one film taking over the superhero throne. Mortal from director André Øvredal and starring Nat Wolff dives into Norwegian mythology and God-like powers, and our critic EJ Moreno has a review on all the insanity. Could this be the launch of a new regal Norse-inspired franchise in the vein of films like Thor and Aquaman?
