'Vikings' Season 5 News & Update: Travis Fimmel Still Expected To Return As Ragnar Lothbrok This Summer [PHOTO]

Ragnar Lothbrok might already be dead, but fans continue to hold on to hope that Travis Fimmel will reprise his role as the legendary Norseman in "Vikings" Season 5. People have been looking for hints that the "Warcraft" actor is back on the set of the History series. Is it possible that Ragnar will be back to guide his sons into victory this summer?

CeleBeat has previously reported on speculations that Travis Fimmel has reunited with his "Vikings" costars. The photo, which was posted by Katheryn Winnick, seemed to feature Fimmel in a baseball cap sitting with Alex Hogh Andersen. However, the man in the hat turned out to be Jordan Smith, who plays Ragnar Lothbrok's son Ubbe. Now, another image has fans thinking that Fimmel is once again hanging out with "Vikings" Season 5 stars Winnick and Gustaf Skarsgard.

The new photo was shared by Katheryn Winnick on Instagram, where she and her "Vikings" Season 5 costars appear to be having a typical Viking dinner. However, the image does not feature Travis Fimmel at all. Instead, the picture has Alexander Ludwig, who plays Ragnar Lothrok and Lagertha's son Bjorn. Fans were quick to point out that the series made an excellent decision choosing Ludwig to portray Fimmel's onscreen son given their similarity. Unfortunately, the image still isn't proof that the "Warcraft" actor has returned to the show.

So is there any chance that Travis Fimmel will return as Ragnar Lothbrok in "Vikings" Season 5? The "Warcraft" actor has already told Moviepilot that it is highly unlikely. In addition to that, Fimmel might already be busy with new projects for the rest of the year. Nevertheless, fans continue to keep their fingers crossed on the possibility that Ragnar will make an appearance when the show returns in summer.
