This summer, Ronald D. Moore, the showrunner of the series God Of Warreassured all fans, confirming that the project was not dead and that the latter was moving in the right direction. He hadn’t lied, since, at the beginning of September, a fairly credible rumor confirmed the start of filming for the month of March 2026 in Vancouver. Today, these are leaks which seem to reveal part of the casting and the plot of the series.
God Of War series: the first elements are revealed
We owe this information to the expert and insider DanielRPK, renowned for having revealed a lot of information and relaying numerous leaks in the video game industry and more broadly pop culture. According to the latter, the Amazon Prime series God Of War is in the recruitment phase for its casting. A call for applications for several characters, accompanied by descriptions, was shared by the insider on the Patreon of the main interested party, as well as on a Reddit channel.
Zion (Kratos) – A man between 40 and 60 years old, all origins. A war-hardened, muscular character haunted by loss and a violent past. After the death of his wife, he is forced to raise his 10-year-old son, although he struggles to form an emotional connection. The role requires comfort with intense physicality, hand-to-hand combat and possibly nudity. (Regular role in the series)
Joshua (Atreus) – A boy aged 9 to 12, all backgrounds. Intelligent, curious and emotionally neglected, Joshua seeks his father’s approval in a cold and unforgiving world. The role includes physical combat and weapons training. (Regular role in the series for one year)
Alexander (Odin) – A white man between 60 and 70 years old. Despite his modest appearance, Alexander is portrayed as a manipulative and godlike patriarch, obsessed with prophecy and control. He is powerful, cruel and willing to sacrifice his own family to survive. (Regular role in the series)
Glen (Baldur (hypothesis)) – A white man between 30 and 40 years old. Handsome, sharp and calculating, Glen feels overshadowed by his brothers and carries his father’s manipulative streak. The character requires comfort with combat, simulated sex scenes and nudity. (Regular role in the series)
Phoebe (Sif) – Female, all origins, between 30 and 40 years old. A beautiful woman from modest backgrounds, Phoebe’s life changed for the better after she married a powerful man, giving her access to resources she never had. Despite her upbringing, she often feels like an outsider and must constantly prove herself to a family that does not fully accept her. She has three children whom she loves dearly, but her husband’s descent into self-hatred and alcoholism led to their emotional estrangement. Phoebe’s quiet intelligence and diplomatic skills help her navigate the cruel world of the gods, although she remains deeply suspicious of her stepfather’s motives, particularly when it comes to his daughter. Must be comfortable with simulated sex scenes and nudity. (Regular role in the series)
Of course, we find quite a few hypotheses on the Reddit channel. It is therefore important to take a step back from all of this. On the other hand, certain character descriptions don’t leave too much room for doubts. Of course, the characters of Kratos and Atreus seem to be the priorities, but, for the moment, no official actor name. Many rumors suggested that actors Dave Bautista and Christopher Judge (the game’s Kratos) would be at the top of the list.
On the games side, the saga God Of War celebrate this year his 20 years. For the occasion, Sony, PlayStation and Santa Monica Studios have created a special controller, already available for pre-order and which should be released at the end of the week. According to the latest rumors, the next major opus in the series God Of War should offer a new arc, located in Ancient Egypt. A game « spinoff » Metroidvania in 2.5D would also be in preparation, for next year, and would take us back to Ancient Greece.
