There is still a lot of mystery about Jonathan Rhys Meyers' character in "Vikings" Season 4B. Some believe that he could play a Norse warrior while others believe the "Tudors" star will portray a nobleman from Wessex. However, it looks like Meyers will be one of the most important characters in the History series. Will he appear as Athelstan's son Alfred, the future King of Wessex?
Jonathan Rhys Meyers Confirmed As Alfred The Great, Future King Of Wessex In 'Vikings' Season 4B?
It is highly unlikely that Jonathan Rhys Meyers will portray a Viking in the show since the actor seems to excel at playing English monarchs. There are speculations that Meyers will debut in "Vikings" Season 4B as Alfred the Great, a historical figure who actually fought the Great Heathen Army. The possibility that Meyers will play Athelstan's son was strengthened by Alex Hogh Andersen's recent Instagram post.
Alex Hogh Andersen Teases First Scene With Jonathan Rhys Meyers In 'Vikings' Season 4B
Game & Guide has previously reported about Alex Hogh Andersen's Instagram post that confirmed he has just filmed a scene with Jonathan Rhys Meyers. The young actor who plays Ivar the Boneless appeared exhausted in the photo, which suggests that they have shot a fight scene for "Vikings" Season 4B.
Ivar the Boneless had famously fought with Alfred the Great when the Vikings attacked Wessex back in 868 (yes, this REALLY happened). There is a huge possibility that "Vikings" Season 4B will offer a glimpse at the Great Heathen Army's attack on the kingdom. Unfortunately, this might also confirm that Ragnar Lothbrok will meet his end before "Vikings" Season 5.
Do you think Jonathan Rhys Meyer will play Athelstan's son Alfred in "Vikings" Season 4B? Will King Alfred the Great manage to defeat Ivar the Boneless? Let us know in the comments.
