Some Facts
Daughter of Swedish stage actress Maria Fahl Vikander and Svante Vikander, a psychiatrist.
Raised in Göteborg, Sweden.
Got the part of Kitty in Anna Karenina (2012) after Saoirse Ronan turned it down, while she got the part of Alice in Seventh Son (2014) after Jennifer Lawrence backed out of the production.
One of her favorite experiences from the production of Anna Karenina (2012) was the filming that took place in the countryside outside of St. Petersburg, Russia. The temperatures soared to -40 °C, and she stayed in a cabin for five days that didn't have hot water and only had benches instead of beds. Russian security guards protected her and co-star Domhnall Gleeson from wild wolves and bears that dominated the deserted area.
2011: Named as one of European films' Shooting Stars by European Film Promotion.
