Speaking exclusively with RadioTimes.com<\/a> ahead of the release of new Prime Video<\/a> series Those About to Die, J\u00f3hannesson said he would definitely be watching the third outing as a fan.<\/p>\n He teased: \u201cI will be watching season 3, and I can tell you even though season 2 ended in the way that it did, you might get to see Olaf in some capacity in season 3.\u201d<\/p>\n J\u00f3hannesson also spoke about how his new role in Those About to Die compares with starring in Vikings: Valhalla, and he explained that it was \u201csimilar\u201d but different\u201d.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cThe fighting aspect felt a bit similar, but it is different though because with every weapon, you have to fight differently, and it\u2019s always dance choreography.<\/p>\n \u201cSo yes, similar but different, because in this one, you\u2019re wearing basically a diaper and some leather straps and holding a couple of swords. So similar, familiar, but different.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n J\u00f3hannesson plays Viggo in Those About to Die, a Norse warrior in gladiator training.<\/p>\n The series, which also stars Anthony Hopkins and Iwan Rheon, takes a look at the world of chariot racing and gladiatorial games in Ancient Rome.<\/p>\n The official synopsis for the series says: \u201cRome in 79 AD: The centre of the Roman Empire is the wealthiest city in the world, and there is a heavy influx of slave labourers from the growing empire to take over the work.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Roman population \u2013 bored, restless and increasingly violent \u2013 is kept in line mainly by two things: free food and spectacular entertainment, in the form of chariot racing and gladiator fights.<\/p>\n \u201cThose About to Die delves into the world of the games \u2013 a world characterised by bloodlust, greed for money, the pursuit of power, and corruption.<\/p>\n [squirrel-affiliate-playlist squirrel_playlist_id=\u201d609\u201d \/]<\/p>\n \u201cThe races at Circus Maximus are controlled by four Patrician-owned corporations \u2013 the Blue, Red, White and Green factions \u2013 and shares in the four factions are the most valuable things in Rome.<\/p>\n \u201cAs the taste in entertainment of the populace becomes more jaded and bloodthirsty, a specially-designed stadium for gladiatorial combat is needed \u2013 the Colosseum.<\/p>\n \u201cThe scale of the stadium, as well as the gladiatorial and animal combats, is enormous \u2013 same as the underworld with the flourishing betting business.<\/p>\n \u201cUnderground, beneath the stands, thousands of people work and live \u2014 among them thousands who will die for the games.\u201d<\/p>\n Vikings: Valhalla seasons 1-3 are available to stream on Netflix<\/a>.\u00a0Sign up for Netflix from \u00a34.99 a month<\/a>.
