Vampires have been sexualized in almost every movie and series about them. Some have failed miserably at it too. This time Robert Eggers has decided to do the same with his upcoming remake of ‘Nosferatu’. But he has chosen Bill Skarsgård to play the villainous yet sexy vampire.
And we can trust Bill Skarsgård to play the most sexy villains in his movies. The actor himself opened up about his vampire role being sexualised although it is very villainous.

After scarring the audience in ‘It’, Skarsgård is now all set to play Count Orlok in Robert Eggers’ ‘Nosferatu’. Bill Skarsgård’s preparation for the role has been tough and it did take a toll on him as well. His hair, makeup, and costume have been tightly kept under wraps.
“He’s gross. But it is very sexualized. It’s playing with a sexual fetish about the power of the monster and what that appeal has to you,” Skarsgård said while describing his character. The ‘John Wick’ actor hopes that the audience will love his work but still feel a bit of hate for the character as well.
