Dave Bautista Cast as Kratos in Prime Video's God of War SeriesPreviousNext

Dave Bautista has been officially cast as Kratos in Prime Video's live-action 'God of War' series, replacing Ryan Hurst who suffered a torn bicep injury during filming. Production, which began earlier this year in Vancouver, will resume with reshoots of Hurst's scenes. The series adapts the recent video games, focusing on Kratos and his son Atreus's journey through Norse mythology. The cast includes Callum Vinson as Atreus and other notable actors, with two seasons planned to be shot back-to-back.
