Vincent D’Onofrio Defends Laufey Star Deborah Ann Woll From Gooners Upset That the Game's Armor Sets Don't Show More Skin

Emmy-nominated actor Vincent D'Onofrio defended Deborah Ann Woll, the actress who portrays Laufey in the upcoming God of War game, after a self-proclaimed "gooner" criticized how little skin the armor sets on her character show. D'Onofrio, who previously worked with Woll on Netflix and Marvel's Daredevil series, expressed his excitement to play the new game with his son when it releases in February.

He strongly disagreed with the gooner's opinion, stating that Deborah is beautiful, talented, intelligent, kind and a good friend. The controversy surrounding Laufey's appearance has drawn attention from other A-list actors, who have also voiced their support for the character and the game. Despite recent criticisms from other figures in the gaming industry, Woll remains confident in the game's quality and has avoided being affected by the online backlash. God of War Laufey is set to release on February 16, 2027, exclusively on PlayStation 5.
