The transformation journey:
Skarsgård's journey to becoming "Eric," a man resurrected to avenge his and his fiancée's murder, was no walk in the park. "I’d already been training for quite a while," Skarsgård revealed to Variety, highlighting the balance he struck between gaining muscle without losing the essence of Eric. With a diet heavy in protein and a rigorous weight training routine, Skarsgård's dedication was nothing short of remarkable.
Director Rupert Sanders didn't hold back in praising Skarsgård's commitment, noting how the actor's diet was strictly monitored—even during team dinners! "It’s basically steak tartare and raw eggs," Sanders shared, emphasizing the actor's discipline amidst a backdrop of tempting burgers and hot dogs.
