God of War TV series sees further recasts as Amazon seeks older actors for Atreus and Thrud
The series will have different actors in these roles for Season 2.
Amazon's God of War TV series has seen further recasts as the production opts to seek older actors for the roles of Atreus and Thrud. The change in cast is a deliberate, creative decision for Season 2, with the characters initially played by child actors Callum Vinson and Island Austin in Season 1. The new actors will be portrayed as "Teen" versions of the characters, with the younger version's son finding his new identity and growing into manhood.
The switch suggests that Season 2 will directly follow the events of God of War: Ragnarök. As for Kratos, the role is in talks with Dave Bautista, who would likely command a higher salary than Ryan Hurst. The show, set to launch alongside the third season of material to film, will resume production in October, though the specific timing of its impact on production is unclear. Sony's decision to exclude God of War: Laufey from PC launch has not been mentioned in the source.
