Shock news from Svartalfheim: actor Ryan Hurst will no longer play Kratos in Prime Video's God of War TV show after suffering a significant injury during production on the live-action video game adaptation.
Hurst, who can currently be seen on-screen as Mentor in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, reportedly tore a bicep in late June. Due to the lengthy recovery time involved with such an injury (typically 6 months), the physicality required to play a god-killer like Kratos, and the show's production schedule, the decision has been made to recast the lead role and reshoot the four episodes filmed so far.
