Prime Video has recast the role of Kratos in its upcoming God of War series after Ryan Hurst was injured while filming a stunt sequence. Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television decided Hurst’s recovery timeline would not fit the production schedule, leading to the recasting.
Details:
• The injury: Hurst suffered a torn biceps while filming an action sequence and underwent surgery, requiring an extended recovery.
• Production decision: The studios chose to recast Kratos rather than suspend production for several months due to the show’s demanding schedule and physical requirements.
• Reshoots: Scenes already completed with Hurst will be reshot once a new actor is cast as Kratos.
• Production status: Filming has been temporarily paused while producers search for Hurst’s replacement before resuming production.
What to Watch?
The next major milestone is the announcement of the new actor playing Kratos. Amazon MGM Studios has not announced any changes to the series’ planned release schedule.
