Kratos Role Recast After Actor's Serious Injury
18 Jul
Summary
- Ryan Hurst suffered a severe bicep injury during filming.
- The Kratos role in the 'God of War' series will be recast.
- Production halted and filming is expected to resume in October.
Ryan Hurst, known for his roles in 'Sons of Anarchy' and 'The Walking Dead,' has suffered a significant bicep injury. This injury will necessitate a re-casting of his lead role as Kratos in Prime Video's upcoming 'God of War' series. The actor sustained the injury while performing a stunt in late June, after having gained 40 pounds of muscle for the character.
Hurst underwent surgery to repair the torn bicep. As a result, production on the highly anticipated video-game adaptation, which had been filming in Vancouver since February, has been temporarily suspended. Amazon has halted the show's development as they determine the next steps. Filming is anticipated to resume in October, with the show having already secured a second season renewal.
