God of War TV Show: Who Could Play Amazon Prime’s Kratos?
Amazon Prime Video is developing a live-action God of War series based on the hit video game franchise and fans are interested to see who could play Kratos in it. How far along is the series in its development? Has Kratos been cast already? Here’s all you need to know about it.
Has Amazon Prime Video’s God of War TV series cast its Kratos?
No, Amazon Prime Video hasn’t cast Kratos yet as the God of War series is reportedly being written at the moment.
Discussing Film’s X handle recently posted that writing is underway on the upcoming God of War series that was officially ordered in late 2022. To this, familiar industry insider Daniel RPK’s reply implied that the show is still in its early stages of development and may not arrive before 2027.
So, Prime Video may not even be close to casting its leading man, Kratos, or Atreus for that matter. But until he is officially cast, fan speculation continues to grow.
Actors who could play Kratos in the God of War TV show
While Christopher Judge could go on to reprise his role from the games, Amazon Prime Video could also look at familiar TV and movie stars such as Jason Momoa to play the character.
The following actors have been fan-cast to play Kratos in a recent poll on X:
Dave Bautista
Paul Levesque, aka Triple H
Jason Momoa
Christopher Judge
Dwayne Johnson
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II
Alexander Skarsg?rd
While Triple H might match the look and physique of Kratos perfectly, his duties at the WWE may not allow him to take on the character. Dave Bautista is another popular choice. But he left Drax behind to take on more dramatic roles in his 50s. So, he might not wish to return for another physically demanding role, particularly if God of War arrives close to 2027.
Dwayne Johnson is another wrestler turned actor who could play a perfect Kratos. But whether he’d wish to lead a potential multi-season TV series would be up for debate. Fans wish to see Christopher Judge reprise his Kratos role from the games, but Amazon Prime Video might want a more well-known movie actor to market the series.
Accordingly, the likes of Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Alexander Skarsg?rd, and Jason Momoa could fit very well into the role. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II has played an iconic DC villain in movies and will soon become the MCU’s Wonder Man. After that, he could potentially be cast as Kratos. Alexander Skarsg?rd also proved that he is equally capable of portraying Kratos with his performance in The Northman.
But the biggest name to take on the role could be Jason Momoa. He has the right look and experience to play Kratos after projects such as See, Game of Thrones, and Aquaman. It’ll be interesting to see if he becomes the face of God of War after leaving his DC role behind.
