"Vikings" season 4 is the last time viewers will get to watch the fierce hero, Ragnar Lothbrok. And with a new picture from the set making rounds online, fans are left wondering if the production is already filming the last days of the Vikings leader.
Travis Fimmel, the actor playing Ragnar Lothbrok in the popular TV series, posted a picture on his Instagram account showing a bloodied and extremely bruised face beside someone who seems to be a make-up artist for the show.
While Fimmel did not exactly write a caption for the picture, some fans' comments would make one think if this could be the face of Ragnar when he dies. Some even commented that the image is definitely a spoiler.
The Australian actor already stated that he is leaving the series to focus on his movie career. Thus, the production will have to kill off his character Ragnar in "Vikings" season 4. Fans of the show could not help but speculate that Ragnar will be extremely wounded from a battle, perhaps against his traitor brother Rollo (Clive Standen), and will not survive the wounds.
Earlier reports already revealed that Ragnar's son, Bjorn Ironside (Alexander Ludwig), will be taking Ragnar's place as leader. This was solely based on the trailer, which was filled with foreshadowing, released at Comic-Con earlier this year.
The said trailer also includes Rollo's betrayal after marrying Princess Gisla (Morgane Polanski) of Paris. Such betrayal could ultimately lead to the death of the Vikings hero. After all, there is nothing more poetic than a death served by one's own blood.
Meanwhile, Christian Post reported that History Channel added four more episodes to "Vikings" season 4. The originally planned 16 episodes have now become 20. With this development, the new season will be divided into two parts; the last ten episodes will be aired in late 2016.
"Vikings" season 4 will premiere on Feb. 18, 2016 on History Channel at 10:00 PM ET.
