‘God of War’: Dave Bautista in Talks For Kratos Role in Amazon Series After Ryan Hurst’s Exit variety.com/2026/tv/news...
Loomin' Onion™60Man y'all better not injure Dave
Will Code For Pizza36If you need an Oscar-winning refrigerator, I cannot think of a better guy
Scoops18Slims down for health and career reasons. Next roll: Kratos.
Sebastian Fawkes4If He gets the Role, That Part in the 'Guardians Holiday Special' will have aged like Fine Wine
Chocobun 🐇🐇4why can't they hire Christopher judge?????
genfuyung.bsky.social2Maybe a hundred pounds ago. He claims to have lost all the muscle and weight because he specifically did not want to be pigeonholed into roles like this...
Conor38Dave. You don’t need to do this. You should be playing a hunky librarian who solves mysteries while wearing his little glasses.
Hotep Kevin Nash20Ryan Hurst being hit with an injury that would put a 26 year old NFL player out for the season is devastating. That's at least a 6 month recovery and if you're 50 year old, it's longer. They made the right call to recast but it SUCKS for him because he was great as Mentor in The Odyssey.
JCP⭐Designs 👺19Feel bad for the original actor getting injured and needing to drop out, but honestly this is an upgrade in every way
Fred Wood11This would grab my interest in a way that live action God of War so far has not.
Mom10Maybe they don’t think he has the acting chops or an imposing enough voice, but instead of getting someone who already dangerously tore his arms apart, Olivier Richters is right there.
Toonami Nation8I'm kinda surprised they didn't choose him the first time because I can see him pulling off a spot-on Kratos.
Andy Mayer6Approaching Dave seems rather apropos considering his most iconic film role.
Brittney 👑🍑6Didn't he stop hardcore working out/keeping the Drax physique because he was getting older and didn't want to put strain on his body anymore?
ImperfectXIII 🔞6I like to think Amazon execs were scrambling to recast Kratos after Ryan got injured, and some random intern was like "don't worry fellas, I got a guy"
Sarah D3Ok, *now* I’m interested in the God of War series.
Dave Bautista is in talks to play Kratos in the live-action ‘GOD OF WAR’ series. (Source: Deadline)
ryanb626r.bsky.social18Kratos is so going to be the God of Invisibility.
Mozelle Batiste Delacroix’s only son.6Either way people are gonna be unhappy because he’s not going to sound like Kratos. Folks want what they want. This doesn’t particularly bother me, but if I’m being completely transparent. I would prefer an actor who has the chops, and looks more similar to Kratos than simply putting in a big name.
Cats of Yore4I wish Jeremy Davies was in this. Not as Balder obviously but his acting in the games literally gave me goosebumps. Chills all over from the pain and bitterness in his voice. He deserved the hell out of that BAFTA.
Strahimir3Interesting. He was good in Blade Runner 2049, though his role was brief. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rsc...
Hippo1Bautista is a good actor, I'm pretty happy with this news.
Dan Smith (Avenrise)1The guy is an underrated actor so I'm all for it but I do find it hilarious that he dropped a load of weight in order to not be typecast as a muscled brute only to then possibly be offered the Kratos role 😆
Kiley17Suddenly I am invested in the live action God of War series
Clifford Batteau 12It's funny because this is tipping the line between type casting and "This is so obvious, why wasn't this the first choice?" I mean hell, The Guardians Holiday Special joked about this
lily 💙 COMMS OPEN10....at least he's not played by a white guy anymore 🤷♀️
Clifford Batteau 8.....Y'know, what? Fuck it, do it
paquita do djabo ponto blogspot7hollywood e seus 3 atores
Thompson Toboggan5I don’t hate this actually. For me it all depends on how Dave looks in the makeup. If he looks it then I’ll give him a chance. If not? Abandon all hope.
Doan Buu4"Quick get a photo of Dave Bautista any photo"
Lazybones 💀🦋 🍉2Me sabe mal por el actor original, que también molaba mucho, pero Dave también es una muy buena elección para Kratos. Además le pega la faceta de ser una bestia parda con un lado sensible de padre.
Nathan Snyder2Torn between "this is actually kinda cool" and "yes, but the whole production of this has been hell so idk if he should be doing this"
Josh Gripman2This was almost certainly the plan from the beginning

Manivelle4He was right there from the start
〽️Grungo Law〽️3Hell yeah brother, cheer from Vanaheim
TyrantⅡ1He's gonna have to get grumpier. But that's a good choice 👍
Oliver1He would kill it. A really great actor
Harrison Milfeld7No disrespect to Ryan Hurst, but getting Big Dave cast as Kratos isn’t a bad backup plan.
Cafetera de Russell6Pues sería muy buena elección. Cuando se le da un papel adecuado demuestra que sabe interpretar, y el físico desde luego lo tiene.
Orc Bitch4I will not be watching but I do find Dave Bautista sexy so this is cool
Ben l KXNGKICKS3"I WALK FOR MILES INSIDE THIS PIT OF DANGER, A PLACE WHERE THE BOY FOLLOWS ME"
Cam 🎬🎞️📺3The tossing to the side of Ryan Hurst is a very complex and heartbreaking thing, for sure, and I put the blame on Amazon. Full stop. HOWEVER. If they were gonna recast anyone as Kratos, this is 100% it. Bautista can reign those dramatic moments in (see Blade Runner 2049).
Katieee1202To be honest this is someone I've had in mind for the role for a long time. Plus with acting chops only getting better I can definitely see it.
