The long-awaited God of War TV series has been keeping fans in suspense for quite some time. While Amazon’s ambitious adaptation has remained mostly quiet, speculation around the casting of Kratos only continued to grow. For a while, there were plenty of rumors but no clear answers. That long waited question has finally been answered.
Amazon has officially cast Ryan Hurst as Kratos in the upcoming God of War. Interestingly, this is not Hurst’s first connection to the franchise. He is already familiar with the world of God of War, having previously brought Thor to life in God of War Ragnarök. This prior experience makes his casting particularly notable, as he transitions from portraying one Norse god to embodying the franchise’s central and most iconic character.
From a production standpoint, this choice suggests that Amazon is aiming to stay true to the spirit of the games. Kratos is a character defined not only by brute strength, but also by emotional depth, trauma, and restraint, especially in the later entries of the series. Hurst’s past performances indicate he may be well-suited to carry both the physical and psychological weight of the role.
While details such as the release date and the rest of the cast remain under wraps, this announcement marks a major step forward for the project. With Kratos now officially cast, Amazon’s Amazon adaptation appears to be moving out of the shadows and into full production mode.
