Ryan Hurst Shares Behind-the-Scenes Kratos Photos, Better Than Official Image
When a beloved piece of media is adapted, fan concerns and doubts about the final outcome and its fidelity to the original are common. These apprehensions were certainly present when it was announced that Santa Monica Studio's "God of War" would be adapted into a Prime Video series, yet many fans were also eager to see the project come to life.
However, the first official image released ignited a wave of criticism. Viewers meticulously scrutinized costumes, character designs, sets, and lighting – essentially every detail of the initial preview. Despite this backlash, Prime Video remained undeterred, and the series production moved forward at full speed, until unforeseen events occurred.
The lead actor, Ryan Hurst, who was set to portray Kratos, sustained an injury during filming. Due to a lengthy recovery period, he had to step down from the role, leaving the opportunity open for someone else (perhaps Dave Bautista) to take over. With Hurst's time as Kratos concluded, he turned to social media, as reported by Covered Geekly, to share another look at his interpretation of the character. This mirror selfie, while drawing some fan frustration with comments suggesting he "looks like a muscular guy in cosplay," is considered by many to be a significant improvement over the initial image shared by the streaming platform.
What are your thoughts on this latest glimpse of Hurst as Kratos?
