Ryan Hurst could be forced out of his role as Kratos in the Prime Video God of War series after sustaining a serious on-set injury during filming. The actor tore his bicep in a stunt on 16 July, a development that has prompted speculation about whether the production will need to recast the lead character. The series, which adapts the Norse mythology chapters of the popular video game franchise, had been progressing smoothly until this setback.
Production had been underway for several months, with the first on-set images of Hurst as Kratos released in February to positive fan reaction. The incident has left the future of the production in question as studios weigh options for the high-profile project.
