Fresh off releasing the first look at Ryan Hurst’s Kratos, Prime Video has revealed four more actors cast in the live-action God of War series, including the three children of Ólafur Darri Ólafsson’s Thor and Teresa Palmer’s Sif.
Ben Chapple (Good Cop Bad Cop) has been cast as their elder son, Magni. Prime Video teases, “Handsome and adventurous, Magni is an excellent hunter and natural ladies’ man, but the life of an immortal playboy has begun to feel hollow and Magni is yearning for a greater purpose. He is extremely protective of his younger brother, Modi.”
The middle child, Modi, will be played by Louis Cunningham (Marie Antoinette). Prime Video teases, “Modi has a gentle disposition and an obsessive, almost insatiably curious mind. He loves puzzles and complex problems—to such an extent that he often gets lost within them and forgets everything else around him.”
Finally, their daughter, Thrud, will be played by Island Austin (Insidious 6). Prime Video teases, “Thrud is precocious, inquisitive, curious, and fearless, with a natural yearning for knowledge. She’s gentle and kind, and often acts as a peace-maker with the rest of her troubled family. Her grandfather, Odin, sees seeds of greatness in Thrud (mostly because she reminds him of himself) and the two have a special bond.”
Additionally, Evelyn Miller (Foundation) has been cast as Gna, the leader of Odin’s Valkyrie warriors. Prime Video teases, “A fierce warrior, she is devoted to her duty with a loyalty to Odin that borders on fanatical. Highly disciplined and uncompromising, she is dedicated to serving the realm, occasionally at the expense of her own wellbeing.”
These four join a cast that also includes Max Parker’s Heimdall, Mandy Patinkin’s Odin, and Alastair Duncan’s Mimir.
Production is underway on the God of War series, but reception to the first image of Kratos and Atreus hasn’t necessarily been positive. Many fans have already weighed in and leveled criticisms at the image. Meanwhile, God of War creator David Jaffe wasn’t exactly mincing words when he said of Hurst’s Kratos, “Could you find a picture that doesn’t look like he’s s***ting in the woods, cuz that’s what the picture looks like.”
Amazon and Sony have not announced a release date for the God of War show. While we wait, check out our interview with Ronald D. Moore from SDCC 2025, where he talked about his vision for the series.
