The live-action "God of War" series, adapted from the acclaimed video game franchise, has been steadily unveiling its main cast members. Today's latest reveal includes the actor set to portray Thor: Icelandic star Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (pictured left).
Interestingly, this isn't Ólafsson's only recent live-action role; earlier this month, he joined the cast of the live-action "How to Train Your Dragon" movie, where he is slated to play the villain, Grimmel.
Also announced today alongside Ólafsson is Mandy Patinkin (pictured below), who will take on the pivotal role of Odin.

Previously announced cast members include Max Parker as Heimdall and Teresa Palmer as Sif, Thor's wife. Ryan Hurst, who voiced Thor in the original video game "God of War: Ragnarök," is set to return as the protagonist, Kratos.
The "God of War" series is spearheaded by Ronald D. Moore, known for his work as showrunner on "Battlestar Galactica" and as a producer on "Star Trek: The Next Generation." Amazon Prime Video has already ordered two seasons, and pre-production is currently underway in Vancouver, Canada, as the series prepares to begin filming.
