God of War Series Recasts Kratos After On-Set Injury

Amazon Prime Video's God of War will recast the lead role of Kratos after Ryan Hurst tore a bicep on set, prompting production delays and extensive reshoots. Hurst has undergone surgery with a long recovery ahead, and a new Kratos actor will be cast to finish filming alongside Ed Skrein as Baldur; the Vancouver-shot series already had months filmed and four episodes in the can, and it remains on a two-season path with showrunner Ronald D. Moore guiding the adaptation of the latest God of War games.
