Amazon's God Of War TV Series Will Reportedly Recast Kratos Actor After Ryan Hurst Suffers Serious Injury On Set
Game Informer • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Ryan Hurst, originally cast as Kratos in Amazon Prime's God of War series, sustained a serious bicep injury on set, leading to surgery and a production hiatus.
- Due to Hurst's estimated 4-6 month recovery and inability to maintain the physicality required for Kratos, Amazon has decided to recast the role rather than delay filming until 2027.
- Prior to the injury, four episodes had already been filmed, and production is expected to resume in October with preparations starting in August.
- The series has a two-season order planned to be shot back-to-back, with Callum Vinson as Atreus and a supporting cast including Ed Skrein, Mandy Patinkin, and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson.
- Amazon continues to build on its video game adaptation portfolio, following projects like Fallout, while fans await the new Kratos casting announcement.
