Aside from his role in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Munteanu is also known for playing the role of Viktor Drago, the son of boxer Ivan Drago, in the Creed franchise.
Munteanu made his film debut in 2018's Creed II, and is currently filming Creed III alongside Michael B. Jordan.
Vikings: Valhalla proved a huge hit for Netflix since launching on the streaming service on February 25.
The show ranked number one in the week it premiered, and was streamed for more than 194 million hours in the first nine days since its release.
It therefore came as no surprise when the show was renewed for a second and third series in March.
Netflix revealed that production on season two of Vikings: Valhalla had recently wrapped, and season three will be going in production this spring.
The two seasons will have an eight-episode run each, leading the show's total to the 24-episode mark Netflix had targeted when it first picked up the historical series.
All original cast-members, including Sam Corlett, Frida Gustavsson and Leo Suter are set to reprise their roles, and Jeb Stuart will also be returning as showrunner and executive producer for the series.
Speaking when the show's renewal was announced, Stuart said: "Fans of Valhalla – THANK YOU to the millions of you who have watched (and rewatched!) Season One. The numbers have been mind-boggling and beyond my wildest expectations.
"I’m thrilled to be able to confirm that we wrapped and are already editing Season Two and that production will start soon on Season Three.
"While the storylines for Leif, Freydis, Harald, Olaf, Canute and the rest of our amazing cast are secret, I can say without hesitation that their journeys will be even more epic than what you've seen so far. SKÅL!!!"
