The God of War TV series being developed for Prime has found its Kratos, and it's a very interesting choice. The title role has gone to Ryan Hurst, known for his work on shows including Sons of Anarchy and The Walking Dead, as well as his portrayal of Thor in God of War: Ragnarok.

It's a tough role to fill: Christopher Judge, who voices Kratos in the God of War videogames, has very definitively made the role his own: He won the Best Performance award at The Game Awards in 2022, and then endeared himself to fans with an acceptance speech that was so long it somehow went from painful to amazing—which he used to segue into a sick burn on Call of Duty the following year. The man is good.
