After appearing in shows like Sons of Anarchy (as Opie Winston), The Walking Dead (as Beta), and Remember the Titans (as Gerry Bertier), actor Jovan Hurst will play Kratos in the upcoming live-action God of War series. Interestingly, this isn’t Hurst’s first involvement with the franchise – he previously voiced Thor in God of War Ragnarok.
Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios have announced that Ryan Hurst will play Kratos in the upcoming God of War series. Hurst is known for his roles as Opie in Sons of Anarchy and Beta in The Walking Dead, and has also appeared in films like Saving Private Ryan and Remember the Titans. He’s set to be in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey as well. Interestingly, Hurst has previous ties to the God of War universe, having voiced Thor in God of War: Ragnarök (2022). Previously, Terrence C. Carson and, since 2018, Christopher Judge have voiced the character of Kratos.
Fans were excited about the series, especially knowing Ronald D. Moore, a beloved figure from Battlestar Galactica, was leading the show. As gamers anticipated casting announcements, many hoped to finally see a live-action version of Kratos. That’s why Ryan Hurst’s casting was so surprising and disappointing – people couldn’t understand how the show could cast someone from the God of War world but not the right actor for the iconic role.

It’s quite ironic that Stranger Things, a show famous for expertly playing with viewers’ feelings, decided to end its story with ambiguity. The show became known for characters who made clear decisions, recognizable personalities, and straightforward emotions, even with occasional dramatic flair. However, when it came to a final, defining moment, the show seemed hesitant to commit to a clear outcome – and a new Netflix documentary reveals the reason why. It’s hard not to feel disappointed by what that reason turns out to be.
