‘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™66Man y'all better not injure Dave
Will Code For Pizza40If you need an Oscar-winning refrigerator, I cannot think of a better guy
Scoops28Slims down for health and career reasons. Next roll: Kratos.
Sebastian Fawkes6If 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?????
Nacho Disk3**batista machine guns with the nemean cestus**
Hotep Kevin Nash85Ryan 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.
Conor43Dave. You don’t need to do this. You should be playing a hunky librarian who solves mysteries while wearing his little glasses.
JCP⭐Designs 👺27Feel bad for the original actor getting injured and needing to drop out, but honestly this is an upgrade in every way
Toonami Nation13I'm kinda surprised they didn't choose him the first time because I can see him pulling off a spot-on Kratos.
Mom13Maybe 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.
Fred Wood11This would grab my interest in a way that live action God of War so far has not.
Andy Mayer10Approaching Dave seems rather apropos considering his most iconic film role.
Brittney 👑🍑7Didn'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.

ryanb626r.bsky.social24Kratos 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 Yore5I 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.
Dan Smith (Avenrise)5The 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 😆
Strahimir4Interesting. He was good in Blade Runner 2049, though his role was brief. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rsc...
🔞TurboTyrant🔞3Bit concerned on that, not sure if he can put the muscle on at this point. I know he can act easily, but if it comes down to a muscle suit or an awkward/obvious attempt to hide his physique...
Kiley18Suddenly I am invested in the live action God of War series
Clifford Batteau 16It'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

Clifford Batteau 11.....Y'know, what? Fuck it, do it
lily 💙 COMMS OPEN11....at least he's not played by a white guy anymore 🤷♀️
🩸💀 The Horror Guru 💀🩸10Id probably be more interested in tje series if he did. I like Bautista.
yezzurp8This was the right choice in the first place.
Thompson Toboggan6I 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"
The Rappter3Honestly?...I think I could work with this
Dave Bautista In Talks To Play Kratos In ‘GOD OF WAR’, Replacing Ryan Hurst In Amazon Series ➡️ deadline.com/2026/08/dave... #GodofWar
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
Katieee1204To 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.
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).
