Prime Video's God of War streaming series has added two actors in the key roles of Odin and Thor, expanding the influence of 2022's popular entry in the game franchise, God of War: Ragnarok. Fans should be quite pleased with the casting, as it brings in two powerhouse performers to the characters.

First up, Mandy Patinkin, perhaps best known for his role as Inigo Montoya in beloved fantasy film The Princess Bride, will bring the gravitas he's shown in many of his films to Odin, king of the Aesir, AKA the Norse gods. Odin is the primary antagonist of God of War: Ragnarok, and he seeks a way to survive the end of reality and its subsequent rebirth in the eponymous cataclysm.
