GOD OF WAR Series to Recast Kratos After Ryan Hurst's Injury
Ryan Hurst tore a bicep during a stunt, and TMZ says the recovery could push the Vancouver series timeline to 2027.
- Prime Video will recast the lead role of Kratos on its upcoming God of War adaptation after star Ryan Hurst was seriously injured on the Vancouver set, with production remaining on hiatus.
- Hurst tore his bicep while performing a stunt, an injury requiring surgery that reports indicate necessitates a 4-6 month recovery period. Hurst had put on 40 lbs of muscle for the physically demanding Spartan role.
- Production had been underway since February on a two-season order, with four episodes already completed. The series, which features Callum Vinson as Atreus, must now reshoot scenes involving the new Kratos.
- Sources reported that the production schedule, previously running until April 2027, may face significant delays due to the injury. Studios aim to resume filming by mid-fall, though recovery remains the primary factor.
- Industry precedents for such production halts exist: Netflix previously paused Cowboy Bebop for 7-9 months following a lead actor's knee injury. This God of War adaptation, executive produced by showrunner Ronald D. Moore, remains highly anticipated.
