Frankel was born at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in West London, to English actor Mark Frankel and actress/composer Caroline Besson. His father's family is Jewish, including Jewish ancestors from Iraq and Mumbai, India through his paternal grandmother. Frankel lost his father to a road accident when he was two, while his mother was pregnant with his younger brother Max. The two brothers were raised in London by their mother and spoke French at home. She introduced them to film by taking them to the cinema once a week. Frankel took a year-long Foundation Course at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) before going on to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Professional Acting from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) in 2017.
A three-season series following Thor across the great Norse myths — not as a simple warrior but as a complex divine protector whose strength is the most obvious thing about him and whose humanity (in the sense of genuine feeling) is the most important. Three seasons track the major Thor myths: Season 1 covers the theft of Mjölnir and Thor's disguise as a bride (the Þrymskviða), his expeditions to Utgard, and his first encounters with Jörmungandr. Season 2 covers the building of Asgard's walls and the consequences of Loki's schemes. Season 3 is the most emotionally demanding — Thor's growing awareness of Ragnarök and the specific grief of a god who cannot protect the people he loves against fate itself. The romance across all three seasons is with Sif — a relationship the series treats as genuine partnership rather than simply divine marriage.
