Ronald D. Moore\u2019s upcoming live-action God Of War series has been forced to make a major change to its line-up before filming has even finished on the first season of Prime Video\u2019s ambitious videogame adaptation. Per Deadline\u2019s reporting, the show is in search of a new Kratos after star Ryan Hurst, who had originally been cast as the iconic PlayStation character, sustained a major injury while shooting the Norse epic.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>According to <em>Deadline<\/em>, the decision to replace Hurst \u2014 who had reportedly put on 40lbs of muscle and visibly undergone a major physical transformation to embody his godly role \u2014 came following painstaking consideration by the series\u2019 co-producers, Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios. It is believed (and has been reported by <em>TMZ<\/em>) that former <em>Sons Of Anarchy<\/em> star Hurst tore his bicep while filming a stunt scene for the series last month. And while the actor has since successfully undergone surgery and is expected to make a full recovery, that recovery timeline (for a torn bicep you\u2019re looking at half a year, and likely significantly longer, on the sideline) sadly has proven irreconcilable with <em>God Of War<\/em>\u2019s strict production shooting schedule.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p><em>Deadline<\/em>\u2019s sources understand that four episodes of Moore\u2019s series \u2014 which entered production in Vancouver back in February \u2014 had been fully shot at the time of Hurst\u2019s injury, with the plan now being to regroup in mid-August ahead of an expected mid-October start on reshooting. Despite the devastating news that Hurst, currently able to be seen lighting up the big screen in Christopher Nolan\u2019s The Odyssey, will no longer feature in Prime Video\u2019s <em>God Of War<\/em>, the rest of the streamer\u2019s &#8216;god-and-his-boy&#8217; Norse saga\u2019s cast remain fully committed to carrying the torch. Callum Vinson is still on to play Kratos\u2019 kid Atreus, while we can also continue to look forward to seeing Max Parker as Heimdall, \u00d3lafur Darri \u00d3lafsson as Thor, Teresa Palmer as Thor&#8217;s wife Phoebe\/Sif, Mandy Patinkin as Odin, Alastair Duncan as Mimir, Danny Woodburn and Jeff Gulka as brothers Brok and Sindri, and Ed Skrein as Baldur.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>At this stage, we\u2019ve no word or even whisper yet regarding who could step into Ryan Hurst\u2019s sizeable shoes as Kratos on Ronald D. Moore\u2019s show, currently set for a minimum two-season run as Prime Video looks to go toe-to-toe with HBO\u2019s The Last Of Us in the prestige drama game-to-series stakes. But as soon as we hear more, you\u2019ll be the first to know. And until then, our best wishes are with Ryan Hurst for a full and speedy recovery.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, this isn\u2019t news we expected \u2014 or wanted \u2014 to be sharing this morning.
