\"God<\/p>\n

(Sony)<\/p>\n

God of War will have to find a new actor to take on the role of Kratos. Prime Video<\/a> is being forced to recast the role after Ryan Hurst suffered an injury on set while performing a stunt.<\/p>\n

Mandy Patinkin, \u00d3lafur Darri \u00d3lafsson, Alastair Duncan, Jeff Gulka, and Danny Woodburn had joined the cast alongside Hurst, which has already been renewed for a second season. The series is inspired by the Sony PlayStation video game franchise.<\/p>\n

According to Deadline<\/a>, Hurst tore a bicep during filming, and he had to undergo surgery. Recovery time from a surgery of that type is four to six months, and it can take up to a year to be at full strength.<\/p>\n

The role is highly physically demanding, so it would be until at some point in 2027 before production could resume. This led to the decision to recast Hurst.<\/p>\n

The premiere date for God of War<\/a> will be announced later.<\/p>\n

What do you think?<\/a> Are you familiar with the video game franchise? Do you plan to watch this Prime Video series?<\/p>\n
