The Brutish Business of Recasting: Amazon's God of War Show Shakes Up Plans The recent announcement that Dave Bautista will play Kratos in Amazon's Prime Video adaptation of God of War has sparked a mixed reaction from fans.
Some hail the casting decision as a masterstroke, while others lament the loss of Ryan Hurst in the role. Hurst was forced to leave the production after suffering an injury that required surgery.
