"is reporting that Sony and Amazon have tapped Sons of Anarchy and God of War: Ragnarök actor Ryan Hurst to play Kratos in the upcoming live-action God of War series. Hurst, who played Thor in the 2022 God of War game, will be swapping roles for the show, and will lead the series following Kratos' Norse storyline. We still don't know who will be playing his son Atreus, but it's cool to have Hurst on as someone who is intimately familiar with the source material."
"Along with playing Thor, Hurst's notable credits include playing Opie in Sons of Anarchy, as well as Beta in the Walking Dead franchise both in the main series and the Fear the Walking Dead spin-off show. Most recently, he has played Miles in the new Netflix western series The Abandons. If you want a quick refresh on Hurst's acting chops, someone was kind enough to compile all his scenes as Thor in Ragnarök."
"There were rumors that Christopher Judge, the actor who plays Kratos in the Norse God of War games, was also up for the live-action role last year, but Judge himself seemed to debunk these in an X post in September. The God of War series is coming from writer, showrunner, and executive producer Ronald D. Moore, who is best known for his work on Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica."
Ryan Hurst will portray Kratos in the upcoming live-action God of War series produced by Sony and Amazon. Hurst previously voiced and portrayed Thor in the 2022 God of War game and will lead the series through Kratos' Norse storyline. Casting for Atreus remains unannounced, with Sunny Suljic mentioned as a possible return despite age considerations. Hurst's credits include Opie on Sons of Anarchy, Beta on The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead, and Miles on Netflix's The Abandons. Rumors about Christopher Judge pursuing the role were apparently debunked, and Ronald D. Moore serves as writer, showrunner, and executive producer.
