Prime Video has announced that Sons of Anarchy actor Ryan Hurst will play Kratos in the upcoming live-action TV series. Hurst is a familiar name in the world of God of War, as he played Thor in God of War Ragnarok, a role that earned him a BAFTA Award nomination.
Prime Video also confirmed more details about the TV series, revealed that the show will “closely follow the path of the last two games,” as Kratos and his son Atreus go on a journey to spread the ashes of their wife and mother, Faye. “Through their adventures, Kratos tries to teach his son to be a better god, while Atreus tries to teach his father how to be a better human,” reads a line from the show’s description.
Hurst is the first actor to be named for the God of War TV show, so it remains to be seen who will play Atreus or any of the other roles. Hurst is also known for his major role on the TV series Sons of Anarchy and the movie Remember the Titans, among numerous other Hollywood credits in a career spanning decades.
