Dave Bautista has officially been cast as the character of Kratos in this Amazon Prime Video and Sony series. Dave Bautista has made his name in movies such as Dune and Guardians of the Galaxy.
Ryan Hurst got cast as Kratos in January 2026. But he got injured severely in his bicep muscle during shooting in June. His injury required surgery and thus, postponed the commencement of filming on this project for a long time.
This is why Amazon and Sony started looking for a replacement for Ryan Hurst. Sometime back, it was leaked that Dave Bautista was under consideration for the role of Kratos. Now, Dave Bautista has officially been cast as Kratos. All the scenes shot by Ryan Hurst would be reshot. With Dave Bautista now cast as Kratos, it is expected that filming might begin soon.
