There is hope that the "Sons of Anarchy" prequel will reveal where Jax Teller got his good looks and bad-ass biker attitude. Although it might be time to accept that Charlie Hunnam will not be a part of "The First 9", the series is set to introduce Jax's father John Teller. But who exactly is going to play the rebellious J.T.? There are speculations that "Vikings" Season 4 star Travis Fimmel will step away from his own show to play the former president of Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original, and fans are loving the idea!
Fans React To Travis Fimmel's 'Sons Of Anarchy' Prequel Casting Rumors! Will 'Vikings' Star Portray Charlie Hunnam's Father?
GamenGuide was first to report about speculations that "Vikings" Season 4 actor Travis Fimmel is being considered to play John "J.T." Teller in the "Sons of Anarchy" prequel series. Fans immediately reacted to the rumor enthusiastically, since Fimmel seems like a fitting choice as Jax Teller's father. Some noted that the man who plays Ragnar Lothbrok looks like Charlie Hunnam and also possesses the same charm and acting prowess. However, some were also unsure if Fimmel should abandon his History series to portray J.T. in "The First 9" (check the comments section here).
Should Travis Fimmel Leave 'Vikings' Season 4 For 'Sons Of Anarchy' Prequel?
It's understandable why "Vikings" Season 4 fans aren't eager to watch their Ragnar Lothbrok leave the series just yet. Travis Fimmel's character was last seen returning to Kattegat after a long absence and there is a huge chance Ragnar might finally reconnect with his grown sons. However, there are also speculations that Ragnar will meet his death before the season finale. Some believe that this would pave the way for Fimmel to eventually land a starring role as John Teller in the "Sons of Anarchy" prequel "The First 9".
Travis Fimmel will return in the second half of "Vikings" Season 4, which premieres on History on November 30. The "Sons of Anarchy" prequel "The First 9" is expected to air on FX by 2017.
