Amazon\u2019s upcoming God Of War<\/em> show has hit a major snag \u2014 it\u2019s now on the hunt for a new Kratos, after an on-set injury put its current lead actor out of commission. Sons of Anarchy<\/em> star Ryan Hurst was originally cast for the role<\/a> in January, with Deadline<\/em><\/a> reporting that four episodes of the God Of War<\/em> production had been fully completed before he tore a bicep performing a stunt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Production on the show has now been paused, and is eyeing to resume in mid-October. Unfortunately that isn\u2019t enough time for Hurst to fully recover from surgery. The completed episodes will now be reshot with a new actor, causing further delays<\/a> to the show following its initial announcement in 2022<\/a>. Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television, the studios behind the live-action television adaption of the 2018 God Of War<\/em> game<\/a>, have yet to announce who will replace Hurst.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Recasting a leading actor mid-production is a rare occurrence. That will be of little comfort to Hurst, however, who gained 40 pounds of muscle<\/a> for the role, according to Deadline<\/em>. Hurst also coincidentally voiced Thor in the God of War Ragnar\u00f6k<\/em><\/a> videogame sequel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
