Amazon's upcoming adaptation of God of War has many fans hoping that a familiar face joins its cast in the role of its lead character.
- An upcoming live-action adaptation of 2018's God of War from Amazon has fans very excited about who could bring Kratos to life.
- While Dwayne Johnson and Dave Bautista are versatile actors who could be great choices, many fans believe that Kratos deserves a more experienced hand.
- Chistopher Judge's imposing physical appearance and experience as Kratos' voice actor make him an excellent choice for the character in the eyes of fans.
With Amazon Studios looking to capitalize on the success of its live-action adaptation of Fallout, fans of popular franchises that the studio is looking to bring to life are excited to experience their favorite stories and characters in a new medium.
Recent news that the studio is looking to bring the adventures of Kratos and his son Atreus to a new series has many fans speculating on who could take the lead role in the upcoming adaptation that has director Cory Barlog slated to join it as an executive producer in what is going to be a retelling of the narrative in the video game.
Who Could Bring Kratos to Life in the God of War Series?
Sony Interactive Entertainment’s God of War presented a new side of Kratos in a departure from his crusade against the Greek Pantheon in a poignant tale that saw the character struggle with his inner demons even as he grappled with the loss of his wife and his new role as the sole guardian of his son. With the Norse gods stepping in as capable antagonists, Kratos’ new story has been a very successful outing for the studio and is a great addition to Amazon’s line-up of video game-based shows.
However, with details about the new show being scarce, fans of Kratos’ latest journey are left wondering about who could step into the shoes of the former Spartan warrior. While Dwayne Johnson and Dave Bautista could easily match Kratos’ primal rage and physicality, some fans believe that another artist would easily fit the bill considering his prior experience with the character.
Bringing a Face to the Voice That Started It All
While Kratos is set to make an appearance in Amazon’s Secret Level, an upcoming animated anthology that explores the best of modern gaming over the years, many fans believe that Christopher Judge would be the perfect fit for his role in a live-action adaptation of God of War.
That is certainly an excellent choice considering that he was the voice actor for Kratos in the game and its sequel God of War Ragnarok, proving more than capable of bringing Kratos’ gentler side to life even as he conveyed all of his pain and rage with aplomb. The post below is a great example of the support Judge enjoys from fans who would love to see him appear as a character he has made as immortal as the gods he is set to take on.
It’s evident that Judge has the imposing physical appearance that Kratos brings to the table while also having the distinct edge of knowing the character’s many nuances in a script that is sure to remain loyal to its source material considering Barlog’s involvement in the project.
Other responses to the post showcase just how much Judge has managed to embody the role of Kratos in the eyes of his fans.
While fans will certainly hope that Amazon is paying attention to their pleas for Judge to join the cast of its upcoming project, the studio is sure to bring Kratos’ tryst with the Norse pantheon to life in a way that stays true to the game that managed to capture the hearts and minds of its players with style.
