Amazon’s God of War<\/a> series has already seen one major recast<\/a>, with Kratos actor Ryan Hurst having to depart the role after suffering a bicep tear on set. While Hurst has reportedly had surgery and is recovering, the injury was severe enough that production was paused and Amazon has opted to seek out a replacement. Dave Bautista is apparently in talks to replace him. <\/p>\n

But Kratos isn’t the only character in the TV show who will be seeing a change in actor. Amazon also plans to recast roles of Atreus and Thrud. Unlike Kratos’ impromptu recasting, however, the switch for these characters is a planned, creative decision that will take effect from Season 2 onward.<\/p>\n

In Season 1, Atreus and Thrud are played by child actors Callum Vinson and Island Austin. But as reported by mp1st<\/a>, casting calls for Season 2 suggest these characters will be significantly older when that second season rolls around. The casting calls for both characters (who have the codenames ‘Joshua’ and ‘Ruth’) to be “Teen” versions, while Joshua’s casting call states that in Season 2 Kratos’ son “finds his new identity and grows into manhood.”<\/p>\n
