Bill Skarsgård has spent the best part of a decade cementing his status as a modern icon of horror cinema, bringing an eclectic ensemble of legendary monsters and villains to the screen. From his bone-chilling turn as Pennywise in the IT franchise to his grotesque transformation in Nosferatu and unsettling appearance in Barbarian, the Swedish actor has proven himself to be one of the genre’s most formidable chameleons. Yet, for his next major project, Skarsgård is officially stepping out of the shadows of supernatural dread and into a far more grounded, human kind of nightmare – out on the battlefield, as a gripping first trailer for Netflix’s highly anticipated wartime epic The Mosquito Bowl sees him trading terror for the trenches of World War II.
