Deadline.com is reporting that Dave Bautista has signed to take over the lead role of Kratos in the Prime Video series God of War.
Kratos is the lead character in the series and actor Ryan Hurst, who was portraying him, was injured filming, leading to the role needing to be re-cast.
The project will begin filming anew from scratch this October in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Deadline's report notes:
God of War follows father and son Kratos (Bautista) and Atreus (Callum Vinson) as they embark on a journey to spread the ashes of their wife and mother, Faye. Through their adventures, Kratos tries to teach his son to be a better god, while Atreus tries to teach his father how to be a better human.
The titular character of the entire franchise, Kratos is Spartan by birth, and a god by nature. Raised in a martial culture, he rose to command armies in service of his homeland until one day he made a fateful deal with Ares, the Greek God of War and lost his soul in exchange for being victorious in battle. Over the course of ten wildly successful games, Kratos vanquished mortals, creatures and gods alike. In the process, he became an iconic character in pop culture, known for his stoic nature, unchallenged combat skills, and tragic past.
