The God of War TV show at Prime Video continues to add to its cast, with Ed Skrein coming aboard to play Baldur.
Skrein, 42, has a number of high-profile credits to his name, including the role of Ajax in 2016’s Deadpool. He also starred in Alita: Battle Angel, Midway, the Rebel Moon movies, and Jurassic World: Rebirth. He also appeared on Game of Thrones.
Baldur, who is Odin’s youngest son, was played by Saving Private Ryan actor Jeremy Davies in 2018’s God of War. He won a BAFTA for his performance.
The God of War TV show features Ryan Hurst as Kratos, with Mandy Patinkin portraying Odin and Callum Vinson as Atreus. Check out the gallery below to see the full cast so far.
The God of War TV show, which hails from Battlestar Galactica’s Ronald D. Moore, has already been ordered for two seasons. Frederick E.O. Toye (The Boys, Fallout) is directing the first two episodes. There is no release date yet.
The God of War TV show will follow some of the events of 2018’s God of War and 2022’s God of War Ragnarok, telling the father-son story of Kratos and Atreus.
God of War is one of Sony’s best-known franchises, and while no future games have been announced, it’s expected the series will continue. A live-service God of War game, however, was reportedly canceled last year.
Prime Video is also producing the live-action Tomb Raider TV show starring Sophie Turner. Beyond that, Prime Video is making the Life is Strange TV series, and also runs the popular Fallout TV show.
