The highly anticipated live-action adaptation of "God of War," helmed by Ronald D. Moore (showrunner for "Battlestar Galactica" and co-writer/producer for "Star Trek: The Next Generation"), has finally announced its lead actor for the iconic role of Kratos. According to an exclusive report from Deadline, Ryan Hurst (pictured below) has been cast.

Hurst, primarily known for his television work, has a lower profile compared to the movie stars often suggested by fans, such as Dwayne Johnson, Jason Momoa, or Dave Bautista. His notable TV credits include Seasons 9 and 10 of "The Walking Dead," Seasons 3, 4, and 5 of "Bates Motel," and a main role in "Sons of Anarchy."
Interestingly, Hurst previously lent his voice to Thor in the original video game series' "God of War: Ragnarök," making this a return to the Norse mythology world in a different capacity. The "God of War" series has already received a two-season order from Amazon Prime Video and is currently in pre-production in Vancouver, Canada, gearing up for filming.
