The story starts to pick up quickly with the murder of the 36th Dolan by Ellic ( Joseph Gilgun, Lockout) who is working with a rogue warlock, Belial ( Ólafur Darrin Ólafsson, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty) who is intent on raising the Witch Queen and destroying non magic humans. The 36th Dolan is played by Michael Caine ( The Dark Knight trilogy) who is retiring to be replaced by the 37th Dolan, played by Elijah Wood ( LOTR franchise). Kaulder is watched over by Dolans of the Catholic church (big shock there) who work for the order of the Sword and Cross. The witches of the world, according to Kaulder, have lost touch with the true power of their abilities. Not really much of a curse to some, and this curse allows Kaulder to spend his immortal days killing witches.Īs the time goes by, though, the hunting and killing of witches changes to keeping them in line and punishing the ones who use dark magic to hurt others. As he strikes the death blow to the evil queen, played by Julie Englebrecht ( Before the Fall), she curses him with immortality.
He is charged with the duty of killing the Witch Queen who has cursed the world with the Black Death. The Last Witch Hunter stars Vin Diesel ( Fast and Furious franchise, Guardians of the Galaxy) as Kaulder, a 14th century warrior from, I’m guessing, Sweden given the frozen opening and Viking-esq attire.
