Advertisement Now more actors have been confirmed for the series. Severance star Ólafur Darri Ólafsson will be playing God Of Thunder Thor, “a mountain of a man who has weathered many a battle in his time, but whose actions in a war fought long ago now haunt his waking hours. “Once the loyal soldier of Asgard and his father’s right-hand man, Thor is now but a shadow of his former self as he drowns himself in alcohol and tries not to think of the price he paid. Keeping his wife and children at arm’s length has only deepened his isolation, but the power (and danger) of the God Of Thunder is still there just beneath the surface,” reads the official character description.

Mandy Patinkin will star as Odin. “The All-Father is not physically imposing or particularly god-like: but looks can be deceiving. He is the most powerful Aesir god, a patriarch who leads with an iron fist, and an unrivalled seeker of knowledge. When it comes to seeking out prophecy, Odin is paranoid, manipulative and dangerous – he will do anything to try and prevent Ragnarök, the Norse end of days. He serves as a formidable antagonist to Kratos,” said Amazon Prime in a press release. Ed Skrein will play main antagonist Baldur. “He may be the youngest son of Odin, but he’s his father’s most dangerous weapon,” reads an official description. “Charismatic, unpredictable and armed with a razor-sharp tongue, Baldur lives by his own rules. As a boy, Baldur was cursed; this curse denied him the ability to feel pleasure and physical sensation. This fuels an insatiable anger and bloodlust in Baldur, who favors a brawling fighting style that blends his immense power with the raw impact of his fists. Above all else, he longs for an opponent that can truly match his prowess in battle. An opponent that can finally make him feel something.” Every actor confirmed for Amazon Prime Video’s God Of War adaptation Recommended Ryan Hurst – Kratos Callum Vinson – Atreus Alastair Duncan – Mimir Danny Woodburn – Brok Jeff Gulka – Sindri Max Parker – Heimdall Ólafur Darri Ólafsson – Thor Mandy Patinkin – Odin Teresa Palmer – Sif Ed Skrein – Baldur Louis Cunningham – Modi Ben Chapple – Magni Evelyn Miller – Gna Island Austin – Thrúd The show, which will take heavy inspiration from recent games God Of War 2018 and God Of War: Ragnarök, will follow “father and son, Kratos and 10-year-old Atreus, as they embark on a journey to spread the ashes of their wife and mother, Faye.
