On February 10, the film “Asterix & Obelix: I drakens rike” has its cinema premiere in Sweden.
In the film, Zlatan Ibrahimovic plays the role of the super warrior Caius Antivirus – but not everyone thinks that the Swede’s performance is something to be had.
– Sorry Zlatan, think about another alternative career when football life is over, says Dagens Nyheter’s reviewer Helena Lindblad.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has timeless credentials on the football field, with a career that hardly needs further introduction. The Swedish superstar has won the most with his club teams, and when he was at his best he was described by many as one of the absolute best strikers in the world.
The new(?) career
Today “Ibra” is 41 years old, and maybe his football career is slowly coming to an end. Now the Swede will instead make his debut on the big screen, in the film “Asterix & Obelix: I drakens rike” where he will play a role as the super warrior Caius Antivirus.
The article continues after the picture.
In the film, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is seen, among other things, in a war scene, where he uses his football skills to knock out an enemy.

But his efforts in the film are not appreciated by everyone.
– He towers up, solemnly proclaims his greatness and throws himself onto the battlefield. Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s film debut as the Roman super warrior Caius Antivirus, in the new French “Asterix & Obelix: In the Kingdom of the Dragon”, is surrounded by a certain humorous shimmer. A character who runs quite lovingly with the egocentric persona of the Swedish football star. In one scene, he utters the line “Why talk when you can fly” and stage divas in front of cheering soldiers, writes the reviewer Helena Lindblad on Dagens Nyheter.
“Sorry Zlatan”
The film was specially shown in Paris the other day, and after Helena Lindblad saw Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his performance on the screen, she believes that the Swedish superstar should probably invest in something other than film when his football career ends.
– The Swede’s effort feels as stiff as the dead boars that Obelix walks around with under his arm. So, sorry Zlatan, consider another alternative career when the football life is over, says Helena Lindblad.
