Alexander Ludwig stole our hearts when he took on the role of Bjorn in the much loved History Channel hit, Vikings.

But with the fantasy saga set to come to a natural end following the upcoming season, we can’t help but wonder where we’ll next see the 26-year-old.

And it seems he won’t be away from our screens for too long.

Since leaving the show the popular actor has taken on a number of jobs with his next project dropping later this year.

Yes, in November we’ll see the star join the likes of Mandy Moore, Woody Harrelson and Luke Evans in the movie Midway.

The film is set in 1942, and as the title suggest, will take us through the stories from the Battle of Midway – which have been told by the leaders and sailors themselves.

As well as this, Alexander has been getting cosy with Riverdale’s Charles Melton as well as Will Smith, Martin Lawrence and Vanessa Hudgens in the upcoming Bad Boys For Life movie.

So far, we know that the story of the film sees Lawrence’s character Marcus Burnett now a police inspector and Smith’s character Mike Lowrey in the midst of a mid-life crisis.

The pair of them are set to retire, but agree to take on one last job before going their separate ways – and it’s a big one as they head to Atlanta to try and crack a drugs ring.

And if that wasn’t enough Ludwig to be looking forward too, he’s also recently announced that he’s bagged a role in a brand new Starz drama.

Joined by Arrow’s Stephen Amell, the pair will play rival brothers and pro wrestlers named Ace and Jack, respectively.

Although Alexander’s character Ace is the hero and star, he’s secretly dealing with a load of issues outside of the ring.

‘Things are more difficult in the real world, where he struggles to reconcile his town idol status with his insecurities and demons,’ teases a description shared with Deadline.

It adds that Ace is ‘brash, cocky, and self-destructive – yet so damn charming and good-looking that you can almost forgive him.’

But until all of this, we have the final season of Vikings to watch, where Bjorn will battle it out with his brother Ivar The Boneless (Alex Høgh Andersen) for the throne.

While no date has been set for its release, the show will return to Amazon Prime and the History Channel in autumn this year.
