Will Vikings season 6 see sworn enemies Bjorn and Ivar head back to battle?

Vikings are always in battle and form alliances in order to succeed in their tasks – but could the Bjorn and Ivar actually unite in the most unlikely twist yet for season six?

The preview clip of the upcoming final episodes have teased that the Scandanavian warriors are heading into battle in Russia, but one fan has noticed that the shields are a dead giveaway over who exactly will be doing the fighting.

‘We can see a couple of the Russian soldiers with familiar shields. When you skip to the shot of the beach battle, the same or very similar shields are surrounding Bjorn,’ the eagle-eyed fan wrote on Reddit. ‘Knowing that Ivar will be in Russia, he probably has the Russians attack Bjorn.’

Why can’t we all just get along, you guys?

It’s hardly surprising that their battle is not over as their fight for Kattegat ended season five with a bang, and it looks like they won’t stop until one of them is dead.

In the new pictures, Bjorn was seen bloody from war and surrounded by a pool of dead bodies – but is his biggest enemy one of them?

Obviously though, this is all speculation until the show comes back to our screens once more.

In the meantime, Alexander Ludwig, who plays Bjorn, has been living his best life back in the 21st century while filming Bad Boyz 4 Life with Martin Lawrence and Will Smith.

And because he knows we’re all snoops, he’s been keeping us well and truly up to date.

Plus Ivar actor Alex Høgh Andersen has turned his attention to helping others, and has been praised for teaming up with the Danish Red Cross Youth. 

Vikings returns later this year, with all previous episodes available on Amazon Prime Video.
