Must have been a pretty serious injury


Hurst tore a bicep while doing a stunt on the show, as first reported by TMZ. According to sources, he has since undergone surgery and is now recovering.

Really shitty situation because he worked so hard for the role

that's why you don't do stunts unless you're big enough for them to delay production for you.

Are they gonna refilm everything now? Its gotta be tough to find an actor that could believably pull off Kratos' physical stature.

The perfect opportunity to start over and do the Greek saga.

Theres gonna have to be a lot of reshoots. They had supposedly already finished 4 episodes in about 4 months of shooting.

I hope they do the thing that will make this board the most mad and cast Christopher Judge the voice of Kratos as Kratos.

I feel bad for him because this is obviously a huge roll. I never loved the casting. He was always too northern european looking for Kratos IMO. I dont need a greek hut they need to get the nose right. He was also the voice actor for Thor in the games. So that was really weird

Also, Mandy Pitinkin as Odin? Richard Schiff is 2 years younger. I’d be pissed unless he just didn’t want to go freeze in canada for however many years they’re gonna make this

Honestly i wonder if them not being entirely sold on Hurst's portrayal is part of the reason they decided to reshoot rather than wait.

Problem solved.

He had the physical stature for it but he just looked wrong for the part. Probably for the best

There's just something off about that image in that tweet where he looks like me with back pain after working out. Can't put my finger on it, but something is just not working there.

He doesn’t look eight for the part, not muscular enough and refused to cut his hair so they put a bald cap on him making his head look weird

That's one of those injuries I've never had, but by the sound of it must be absolutely excruciating.

Anyone got the O/U on the number of times Kratos will say "boy"?

Holy shite that is him. I’ve played all the games and never put 2 and 2 together. Mind blown.
