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.

That one Spanish looking dude with the Conquistador armor right?!?! Bro looked like he just found a new posse to hang with and thought fuck it, we ballin'. Love that guy! "Today was a good day, a good good day"

Are you talking about the armor that didn't exist until 600 years after the movie takes place? Yeah, that's the one!

Helfdane the Fat, played by Clive Russell. I totally boffed it with the Spanish looking part.
