Perfect Casting for Kratos? Ryan Hurst Joins Amazon’s Live-Action God of War

This quick update breaks down the big casting news for Amazon’s live-action God of War series: Ryan Hurst is set to play Kratos. We talk about why the pick feels so spot on, especially with Hurst already having God of War DNA from voicing Thor in the most recent game. We also get into what fans will want from Kratos’ on-screen look, and the next big question that’s still hanging out there: who’s playing Atreus, and how close to the classic design will the show go?
