Prime Video Keeps Rolling Out And Now Introduces A Fantasy Series Based On This Legendary Video Game
Amazon and Sony are developing a live-action series of God of War, focusing on Kratos' Norse adventure in a fresh narrative.
It's getting busy in the universe of God of War. Amazon is collaborating with Sony Pictures Television and writer Ronald D. Moore, known for Battlestar Galactica and Outlander, on a large-scale live-action series based on the successful game franchise. The production focuses on the modern Norse storyline that began with the 2018 reboot and continued with God of War: Ragnarok from 2022. Filming is expected to begin next year.
A recent leaked casting list reveals which characters will appear alongside Kratos and his son Atreus. The list uses codenames, but experts instantly recognize figures from Ragnarok. Most roles require physical training and combat experience. The creators are predominantly seeking older candidates, which aligns with the tone of the story.
For the role of Kratos, a man between 40 and 60 years old of any descent is needed, with experience in hand-to-hand combat and physical intensity. Atreus must be portrayed by a boy aged 9 to 12 who is also capable of undergoing physical training. Other principal roles include 'Alexander,' presumably Odin, 'Glen,' likely the antagonist Baldur, and 'Phoebe,' who recent speculation suggests will portray Thor's wife Sif.
In addition to these main characters, there are supporting roles for Thor, Freya, Faye, Sigrun, and Magni. Among the names circulating for the role of Kratos are Dave Bautista, Henry Cavill, Winston Duke, and Joe Manganiello, although nothing is confirmed yet.
The series tells the story of Kratos, the God of War, who leaves behind his bloody past in ancient Greece and attempts to build a new life in Midgard. When his wife dies, he and his son travel to the highest mountain peak to scatter her ashes. However, that journey proves to be a grueling trial that tests their bond and forces Kratos to fight against gods and monsters once again to shape the fate of the world.
