Exclusive with Magnus Bruun – best known as Cnut in The Last Kingdom and the voice of Eivor in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
In this unfiltered episode of The Stream Panther, Magnus opens up about the emotional toll of playing Cnut, his journey into the Ubisoft universe, and why AI lacks the soul needed for real storytelling.
From losing children onscreen to losing his armor for motion capture, Magnus reflects on the humanity behind digital performances and urges fellow actors to protect their likeness in an age of synthetic media.
He also shares his thoughts on artistic collaboration, defending flawed characters, and why Valhalla felt like the right end for Eivor.
🎧 A must-listen for fans of Vikings, Assassin’s Creed, and creators navigating the future of film & AI.
