Sony and Amazon have officially announced the actor who will play Kratos in the upcoming God of War TV series: Ryan Hurst. He is best known for his role as Opie Winston in Sons of Anarchy.

Born in 1976 in Santa Monica, California, Hurst already has a connection to the PlayStation franchise, he provided both the voice and face for Thor in God of War: Ragnarok. From his origins to his past collaboration with Sony, it almost seems like he was destined for this role.

In some recent photos, Hurst appears completely bald, perhaps a sign that he has already started getting ready for his role as Kratos.

This announcement of Ryan Hurst comes just days after the reveal of two other key cast members: Max Parker as Baldur and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson as Thor.

Following the massive success of The Last of Us TV series, which will feature Abby as the lead in its third season, expectations for the God of War adaptation are understandably high.

However, adapting God of War is expected to be more challenging. Its unique setting and heavy reliance on visual effects mean the production will likely require a significant budget to bring Kratos’ mythological world to life.

In other news, new screenshots show what the cancelled God of War multiplayer game could have been, with Greek temples, Hades’ Armory, and early gameplay designs. The most recent God of War game released, God of War Ragnarok, has also been updated today on PS5.
