The God of War franchise, renowned for its groundbreaking storytelling and impact on the gaming industry, is making its way to the small screen. With its 2018 reboot setting new benchmarks and selling over 37 million copies across PS4, PS5, and PC, the franchise is primed for a major television debut.
In late 2022, Sony announced the development of a God of War TV series set to stream on Amazon Prime Video. Following the announcement, fans have eagerly discussed who should take on the role of Kratos, the franchise’s formidable and iconic protagonist. Among the names frequently mentioned is Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, a fan-favorite choice who many speculate might already be cast in the role.
Recent buzz intensified when a fan tweeted that the series’ directors were “seriously considering” Dwayne Johnson for Kratos. The tweet quickly gained traction, amassing 40,000 likes and reaching over 21 million viewers, fueling further speculation about Johnson’s involvement in the project.
