Leonardo DiCaprio is set to team up with Mel Gibson for a new movie about the Vikings.

The Titanic actor will star and Gibson will direct the upcoming epic, about the medieval Scandinavian warrior race.

The film, which is expected to begin shooting next year, comes from screenwriter William Monahan and producer Graham King, who previously teamed up on DiCaprio’s 2006 movie The Departed.

King tells Variety, “This will be an awe-inspiring story, created with some of the industry’s finest cinematic talent, and I am just over the moon to be making this film with Mel, Leo and Bill (Monahan).”
