The streaming service has cast Ryan Hurst to play the main character in its new series based on the God of War video games. Hurst is already familiar with the franchise, having played Thor in God of War Ragnarök and receiving a BAFTA nomination for his work.
In an interview with MovieWeb, Evan Peters shared that he enjoyed the opportunity to develop his character’s dynamic with Magneto, and confirmed:
According to industry insider Daniel Richtman, Michael Peña—known for his role in the Ant-Man movies—reportedly won’t be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Richtman isn’t sure what led to this decision.
As a huge fan of crime thrillers, I’m always looking for shows that can really grab you and keep you hooked. It’s so tough for a series to maintain that initial excitement over multiple seasons, needing constant twists and turns. But Netflix’s His & Hers, based on the Alice Feeney novel, absolutely nails it – it’s perfectly paced, with just the right amount of mystery and suspense to keep me completely invested.
ABC is changing the night viewers can watch The Rookie. Starting January 26th, the show will air on Mondays at 10 p.m. Eastern, following the premiere of American Idol. A new series, RJ Decker starring Scott Speedman, will then take its place on Tuesdays, beginning March 3rd.
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.
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.
The first season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters concluded by setting up the next season to explore events within the Monsterverse that happened in 2017. This was two years before the appearance of King Ghidorah in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, when he awoke in Antarctica.
Even though James Gunn is now co-leading DC Studios with Peter Safran – and directing the new Superman movie and Man of Tomorrow – he still enjoys reminiscing about his work on Guardians of the Galaxy in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Recently, he responded to a social media post that claimed Michael Rooker’s improvisation of Yondu teasing the Broker caused Sean Gunn to laugh during filming. Gunn clarified on Threads that both moments were actually planned and written in the script.
The upcoming film, The Death of Robin Hood, has officially received an R rating due to its strong and graphic violence. This makes it unusual, as previous Robin Hood movies starring Russell Crowe, Kevin Costner, and Taron Egerton were all rated PG-13.
