I’m so thrilled about the upcoming God of War series on Prime Video! They’ve finally cast Ryan Hurst as Kratos, and I think he’s a fantastic choice. It’s especially amazing to hear what Christopher Judge – the original voice of Kratos, and someone I really admire – thinks about the casting. He truly is the Ghost of Sparta to so many of us, and his opinion means a lot!
Christopher Judge on why Ryan Hurst ‘is a magnificent choice’ for Kratos
To many fans, Christopher Judge is Kratos. He’s voiced the character in the highly praised God of War games from 2018 and God of War Ragnarok, and his deep, emotionally powerful performance has become central to how people see Kratos today. His response to Javier Botet being cast as Kratos in the upcoming Amazon series has been seen as a symbolic passing of the torch.
At Fan Expo New Orleans, actor Nolan North expressed his approval of Ryan Hurst being cast as Kratos in the upcoming live-action series. North explained that his main hope was for the actor to genuinely appreciate and understand the character, just like the fans do. He believes Hurst embodies that respect and is a fantastic choice for the role.
The judge highlighted that Hurst possessed more than just talent as an actor. He specifically commended Hurst for being a genuinely good person and a dedicated gamer, noting that he’d been playing the God of War series since the very beginning.
Understanding the character deeply and truly caring about the source material were key to bringing this popular and complicated figure to life. Judge ended by praising the actor directly, saying, “Fantastic work. You’re a great live-action Kratos. Keep going, Ryan.”
The upcoming God of War series on Prime Video is confirmed for two seasons. It will adapt the storylines from the latest games, centering on Kratos and his son, Atreus, and their adventures through Norse mythology. Ronald D. Moore, known for his work on Battlestar Galactica, is leading the show, and Frederick E.O. Toye, who worked on Fallout, will direct the first two episodes.
We don’t know when the God of War TV show will be released yet. But with Christopher Judge involved and Ryan Hurst cast as Kratos, it’s already generating a lot of excitement.
