Nicholas Galitzine & Bill Skarsgård Lead Netflix WWII Movie Mosquito Bowl

According to reports, Nicholas Galitzine and Bill Skarsgård will take leading roles in the upcoming Netflix film about World War II, titled “Mosquito Bowl“. This exciting project is being helmed by the director known for “American Primeval”, Peter Berg.

Information regarding Galitzine and Skarsgård’s characters remains secret for now. The movie, titled “Mosquito Bowl,” is based on Buzz Bissinger’s New York Times bestseller “The Mosquito Bowl: A Game of Life and Death in World War II.” Berged and Mark L. Smith are the screenwriters for this film adaptation.

What is Mosquito Bowl about?

According to the plot summary from Deadline, Mosquito Bowl is a story that unfolds following the Pearl Harbor attack. It centers around four prominent American college football stars who temporarily shelve their fame to join the Marines. As they prepare for the grueling invasion of Okinawa, these athletes participate in an iconic match against some of history’s greatest players – a game that, for several participants, would mark their final appearance on the field.

The movie is being produced by a team that consists of Film 44’s Berg, Brian Grazer from Imagine Entertainment, and Alex Gayner, with Ezra Emanuel acting as executive producer. Notably, Film 44 has recently extended its partnership with Netflix in the wake of Berg’s successful Western TV miniseries titled American Primeval.

Two highly renowned actors of the present era, Galitzine and Skarsgård, have achieved significant fame through their performances in various successful movies. Notably, Galitzine, who initially appeared in Chambers, High Strung, Handsome Devil, among others, garnered widespread recognition for his role in Netflix’s romantic drama titled Purple Hearts.

After that, Galitzine moved forward to explore various projects – among them are Bottoms, Red, White & Royal Blue, The Idea of You, and the historical drama Mary & George. His next appearance will be as He-Man in Amazon’s forthcoming Masters of the Universe adaptation, scheduled for release in 2026.

Currently, Skarsgård, recognized for his chilling performance as Pennywise in the two films of It, predominantly gains fame through his roles in horror movies and television shows such as Hemlock Grove, Castle Rock, Villains, Barbarian, and Nosferatu. He’s preparing to step back into the Pennywise persona for HBO’s forthcoming It spin-off series, titled It: Welcome to Derry.

Alexander Skarsgård’s latest appearance is in the film “Locked,” alongside Anthony Hopkins. Among his previous roles are those in “John Wick: Chapter 4,” “Boy Kills World,” “Deadpool 2,” “The Divergent Series: Allegiant,” and other productions as well.
