Prime Video’s God of War series has locked him in as Thor. He previously portrayed Thor in PlayStation’s God of War: Ragnarök, a performance that earned him a BAFTA nomination. The show is co-produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios alongside PlayStation Productions and Tall Ship Productions. Upcoming projects include the Apple TV+ heist series 121212, Sony Pictures Classics’ A Winter’s Journey, and Blood on Snow, directed by Cary Fukunaga. Casting Ólafsson as Thor feels like a smart, character-driven move for God of War.
