Dave Bautista in Talks to Star as Kratos in 'God of War' TV Series
Actor Dave Bautista is reportedly in discussions to portray Kratos in Prime Video's live-action 'God of War' series. The recast follows Ryan Hurst's exit due to a bicep injury requiring surgery.
Actor Dave Bautista is reportedly in discussions to star as Kratos in Prime Video's upcoming live-action television series adaptation of the popular "God of War" video game franchise. Industry news outlets Variety and Deadline reported that the actor has entered talks to take on the lead role of PlayStation's brooding protagonist.
The casting news arrives just a few weeks after actor Ryan Hurst was dropped from the production following a bicep injury. Hurst's injury requires surgical intervention, which means he will be unable to return to work on the series until sometime next year.
Rather than waiting for Hurst's recovery and delaying the schedule, the production team opted to recast the lead character of Kratos. If Bautista successfully signs on to the role, the current plan for the series is to get production up and rolling again by the fall. The project remains a developing story as discussions continue.
