Dave Bautista is officially the new Kratos in Prime Video's live-action GOD OF WAR series, replacing Ryan Hurst after his on-set injury! Greg Alba and Coy Jandreau react to the huge God of War Kratos recasting, discuss Bautista taking over the role, and question the difficult circumstances surrounding Ryan Hurst's departure after he had already filmed several episodes.
While Greg and Coy agree Dave Bautista could be an excellent Kratos, they're conflicted about losing Ryan Hurst after he transformed himself for the role and suffered a serious bicep injury while filming. They discuss the decision to reshoot his material, Bautista's age and recent physical transformation, the demands of playing Kratos, and whether the God of War TV adaptation really needed a bigger Hollywood star in the first place.
The conversation also gets into the Atreus casting confusion, Ryan Hurst's Kratos look, and why the circumstances of this major Prime Video recast have changed Coy's excitement for the series.
