There’s a major shake-up happening with Amazon’s live-action God of War series, and it’s one that will probably get fans talking in a big way. According to Deadline, Dave Bautista is in negotiations to take over the role of Kratos after Ryan Hurst suffered an injury that forced the production to make a difficult decision. It’s a surprising development, but Bautista stepping into the role feels like the kind of casting that could inject a whole new wave of excitement into the series. He's more than capable of handling the physical demands that come with portraying Kratos, especially on such a tight production schedule. For Bautista, this would be only his second series regular role after appearing in Season 2 of See.
