Once again, Big Little Lies co-stars Nicole Kidman and Alexander Skarsgård are reuniting — and they are doing so for director Robert Eggers's next film.

The pair has been cast to appear in The Northman, the latest feature from the filmmaker behind such movies as The Witch and upcoming The Lighthouse.

The Northman is described as a Viking revenge saga set in Iceland at the turn of the 10th century, Variety reports. And while Kidman and Skarsgård have been confirmed to star, the film may also feature The Witch's Anya Taylor-Joy, The Lighthouse's  Willem Dafoe and even IT's Bill Skarsgård (the brother Alexander), who are all in talks to appear in the feature.

At this point, few other details have been revealed for The Northman, but Eggers's The Lighthouse opens on Friday (October 18). Read Exclaim!'s review of the film.
