Production
The Wolf Will Tear Your Immaculate Hands is the sophomore feature from Swedish-Costa Rican director Nathalie Álvarez Mesén, following her debut Clara Sola which premiered at the 2021 Cannes Directors’ Fortnight.[6] The film marks Skarsgård's return to Scandinavian cinema after more than a decade.[7][8][9][10]
The screenplay was co-written by Álvarez Mesén and Sjón, who previously collaborated with Skarsgård on The Northman and wrote Lamb.[11] Álvarez Mesén described the film as deepening her “signature blend of intimate character work and magic realism, expanding it into a darker, more haunting period world”.[7][8][9]
Principal photography took place in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The film is a co-production between HOBAB, Resolve Media, Quiddity, Need Productions, Still Vivid, Film i Väst, SVT, VOO, OBE & Be tv, Proximus, Shelter Prod, and Tint, in association with Finite Films, Northern Ireland Screen, and the UK Global Screen Fund. It received support from Eurimages, Creative Europe, and the Swedish Film Institute.[7][8][9]
As of December 2025, the film was in post-production.[7][8][9]
