Born in Stockholm, Sweden, on August 25, 1976, Alexander Skarsgård is the eldest son of the renowned actor Stellan Skarsgård. Alexander’s entry into Hollywood was marked by a humorous stint in ‘Zoolander‘ in 2001. Yet, his magnetic portrayal of Eric Northman in HBO’s ‘True Blood’ gave him international stardom. Fans across the globe, mesmerized by Alexander’s cinematic journey, now eagerly await every announcement, every whisper of what the Swedish prodigy might bring to the screen next. As anticipation builds, here’s a list of Alexander Skarsgård’s upcoming projects!
1. Pillion (2025)
‘Pillion’ is an upcoming queer romance written and directed by Harry Lighton, based on Adam Mars-Jones’ 2019 Fitzcarraldo Editions Novel Prize winner “Box Hill.” Co-starring Skarsgård and Harry Melling, the film follows Colin (Melling), whose mundane existence is transformed by motorbike club leader Ray (Skarsgård), who takes the former as his submission. As Colin is introduced to a new life underscored by secrets and rules, he starts to doubt his submission and whether he has merely swapped one kind of suffocation with another. ‘Pillion’ had its world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival and will be released theatrically in the UK on November 28, 2025. Though a US release date is yet to be revealed, we can expect it to arrive by the end of 2025 itself.
2. The Moment (TBA)
Skarsgård will star alongside Rosanna Arquette, Jamie Demetriou, and Charli XCX in Aidan Zamiri’s directorial debut ‘The Moment.’ The mockumentary film, written by Zamiri and Bertie Brandes, follows the life of a pop star as she navigates fame and industry pressures in the lead-up to her arena tour debut. It delves into the functioning of the music industry and how it is affected by commercial success. Charlie XCX plays the star, Arquette plays a record label boss, Skarsgard plays a fashionable European creative, and Mullen plays Charlie CXC’s assistant. The cast also includes Kate Berlant, Trew Mullen, Rish Shah, and Isaac Powell. ‘The Moment’ is in its post-production stage, and details regarding the release are awaited.
3. Murderbot Season 2 (TBA)
Apple TV+ has renewed the sci-fi drama series ‘Murderbot’ for its second season. The show is based on Martha Wells’ bestselling book series, ‘The Murderbot Diaries.’ Skarsgård will be back as the self-governing security android who is both scared and attracted to its human “clients.” It remains to be seen who else returns for Season 2 alongside Skarsgård. Season 1 dropped on May 16, 2025, so there is still time for the second season to arrive.
4. The Tiger (TBA)
‘The Tiger’ is an upcoming thriller directed by Myroslav Slaboshpytskyi, who gained recognition with his 2014 film ‘The Tribe.’ It is adapted from John Valliant’s book of the same name. Set against the chilling landscapes of eastern Russia during the late 90s, this true-story-inspired narrative draws inspiration from John Vaillant’s book, which pivots around the Tiger Team – a group of men devoted to safeguarding endangered tigers. The plot thickens when their leader, Vanzin (Skarsgård), confronts a moral dilemma: to hunt a revenge-driven tiger that has lethally retaliated against a poacher. This isn’t a mere man vs. beast showdown; it’s an intricate web of vengeance, ethics, and survival.
Alongside Skarsgård’s portrayal of Vanzin, Dane DeHaan steps into the shoes of Kanchuga, the team’s young environmental scientist, who grapples with the mission’s ethical ramifications. Notably, the film, which has been in development for a long while, boasts producers like Darren Aronofsky, Dede Gardner, Ari Handel, Mark Heyman, Jeremy Kleiner, and Brad Pitt, marking a collaboration that cinephiles are keenly anticipating. As the tale explores the blurred lines between predator and protector, ‘The Tiger’ promises a deep dive into the human psyche and the complexities of moral choices. The film is currently in its pre-production stages.
