Amazon’s upcoming God Of War show has hit a major snag — it’s now on the hunt for a new Kratos, after an on-set injury put its current lead actor out of commission. Sons of Anarchy star Ryan Hurst was originally cast for the role in January, with Deadline reporting that four episodes of the God Of War production had been fully completed before he tore a bicep performing a stunt.
Production on the show has now been paused, and is eyeing to resume in mid-October. Unfortunately that isn’t enough time for Hurst to fully recover from surgery. The completed episodes will now be reshot with a new actor, causing further delays to the show following its initial announcement in 2022. Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television, the studios behind the live-action television adaption of the 2018 God Of War game, have yet to announce who will replace Hurst.
Recasting a leading actor mid-production is a rare occurrence. That will be of little comfort to Hurst, however, who gained 40 pounds of muscle for the role, according to Deadline. Hurst also coincidentally voiced Thor in the God of War Ragnarök videogame sequel.
