Following Ryan Hurst’s injury and the studio’s subsequent decision to recast him, it appears other characters will share the same fate, albeit for much more benign reasons. Both Atreus, the son of Kratos, and Thor’s daughter Thrud are set to be recast for God of War Season Two, since the story requires much older versions of the characters to cover the events of Ragnarok.
That is according to MP1st, which reports that a casting call has gone out looking for teenage versions of two characters: Joshua and Ruth, both of whom have been identified as Atreus and Thrud, respectively. At the moment, Callum Vinson and Island Austin are to play these two characters, though they are very young and will have to be replaced so production of the next part of the story could take place without waiting for them to actually grow up.
