Amazon's God Of War series is recasting lead actor Ryan Hurst after he sustained a bicep injury. The production will pause as it completes reshoots with the new actor, causing further delays to the series.
Amazon's upcoming God Of War series featuring Ryan Hurst as Kratos has faced a setback due to an on-set injury. Hurst tore a bicep while performing a stunt, leading to his exit from the role after having filmed four episodes.
Following Hurst's injury, production on the series has been paused and is anticipated to resume in mid-October. However, this timeline is unlikely to allow sufficient recovery time for Hurst, necessitating the recast.
The completed episodes with Hurst will need to be reshot with the new lead, further extending the timeline for the series which was already delayed since its initial announcement in 2022.
Ryan Hurst was cast for the role in January and reportedly gained 40 pounds of muscle for the character. He also voiced Thor in the God of War Ragnarök video game, establishing a notable connection to the franchise.
