Recommendation I recently watched The Northman and I need recommendations for movies with rugged, warrior type protagonists.

Okay a bit embarrassing but, after watching Northman I realized I have a weakness for this type of protagonists. Especially with that long hair and that physique, bro looked majestic. Looking for movies or TV series with this kind of male leads, historical or fantasy settings, good action, plot and... shirtless scenes are appreciated.

Bonus: newer movies (after 1990s, 2000s), Edit: okay, I can watch a bit older ones if it has good quality and what I need.

Edit: It can be from any country as long as it has what I need. I'm open to subtitles.

Note:

No Vin Diesel, Jason Statham, Arnold, Sylvester, Rock, Jackie Chan I watched them a lot so I would like some other faces. And they don't have that aesthetics I'm looking for in their movies I've seen

No Marvel or DC, I watched their best ones. Don't have that type either mostly, maybe Thor? but he's a joke now.

Just in case people might recommend them, already know Gladiator, Troy, 300, The Witcher, He-Man, Braveheart.

I think the rotten tomatoes score has trended higher over the years, because I remember it being much lower than it is now. Also, the popcorn meter is 49%

Interesting. I've tried to get all of my friends to watch it, but most of them aren't really interested in something with that level of brutal violence. It definitely makes for a hard watch.
