Dave Bautista is set to play Kratos in Amazon’s live-action God of War series, replacing Ryan Hurst after an injury forced Amazon and Sony to recast him. Variety confirmed Bautista’s casting around two weeks after their initial report that the former WWE wrestler and Guardians of the Galaxy actor was in negotiations for the part.
Hurst suffered a torn bicep while performing a stunt on set in June and required surgery, which would have prevented him from returning to production until 2027. Amazon subsequently decided to recast Kratos rather than suspend filming for that long, with every scene already filmed with Hurst now needing to be reshot.
