Guillermo del Toro nailed it when he told Roar Uthaug that Troll masterfully blends a Norwegian sensibility with American blockbuster flair. In our conversation, Uthaug previews Troll 2, the eagerly awaited Norwegian monster sequel that drops on Netflix this Monday, promising bigger action, sharper suspense, and a deeper dive into the Troll mythos. Uthaug grew up on 1990s sci-fi and disaster movies that helped shape a generation, and that influence informs Troll 2’s practical effects, grounded performances, and cinematic atmosphere. The filmmaker emphasizes high-octane set pieces while maintaining an authentic, character-driven story anchored in Norway’s landscapes. The Netflix release also opens the door to a possible Troll threequel, as Uthaug leaves room for expanding the monster universe if the response is strong. Overall, Troll 2 aims to deliver thrilling action, tangible effects, and a genuine sense of authenticity that resonates with fans of the original while inviting new viewers into the Norwegian monster saga.
