## Key points

- Ryan Hurst has left God Of War after a stunt injury.
- Four completed episodes will be reshot.
- Amazon has not announced a replacement Kratos.

## Summary

Amazon’s upcoming God Of War television adaptation is recasting Kratos after lead actor Ryan Hurst suffered a serious on-set injury. The change pauses production and requires already completed episodes to be remade, adding further delays to a series first announced in 2022.

Hurst reportedly tore a bicep during a stunt after filming four full episodes, and surgery means he will not recover in time for production’s planned mid-October restart. Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television have not named a replacement; Hurst had gained 40 pounds of muscle for the role and previously voiced Thor in God of War Ragnarök.
