‘I Never Want To Play Something This Evil Again’: Ahead Of 'Nosferatu,' Bill Skarsgård Gets Real About The ‘Hardest’ Parts Of Developing His Vampire Character

Bill Skarsgård has already played one of the scariest modern horror villains, thanks to his performance as Pennywise in "It." However, it seems like he may outdo himself, with his terrifying performance in the upcoming adaptation of "Nosferatu." The newest take on the classic monster story will be one of the last major films to premiere on the 2024 movie schedule, and with the Swedish actor claiming he never wants to prep for or play something this scary again, it’s sure to be haunting.

The "Barbarian" alum, who plays Count Orlok in the film, has already been highlighted as a marvel in reviews for "Nosferatu." However, preparing for and playing the part was not easy, as Skarsgård explained during an interview with Empire.
