Kratos

15 Actors Who Can Play The Role Of Kratos

Is It Possible That One Day God Of War Will Be Made? Which Actor Can Play The Role Of Kratos? Making Movies And Series From Video Games Is Usually Not Successful. 

Kratos, A small number of such works can name that has attracted both the audience and critics and have recorded good sales.

However, some studios and filmmakers occasionally try to make movies and TV series adaptations of video games.

Perhaps one of the biggest ones in recent years has been the film adaptation of the Uncharted franchise and the series adapted from The Last of Us franchise.

In Uncharted, Tom Holland as Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. In The Last of Us, Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal play Ellie and Joel, respectively.

Now that the live-action adaptation of Sony’s exclusive works is so popular, why not go for the God of War franchise?

Surely an exciting, violent, and lovable work can be made of this franchise. Compositions of ancient gods, especially Greek / Roman mythology, have always been interesting to the general public.

The special and perhaps positive thing about an adaptation of the God of War franchise is that the story of Kratos takes place at different times, which is why we have seen both the aged Kratos and the young Kratos. This leads to the consideration of both younger and relatively older actors in the selection of actors.

But if we are going to see the live-action from the God of War franchise, who can be the actor of Kratos? To this end, we have prepared a list of 15 actors who can play the role of Kratos.

15. Joel Kinnaman

Joel Kinnaman will be one of the actors that can be considered for the young Kratos. In addition to being physically fit for the role of Kratos and having the right tone of voice, he also has a Kratos-like face. We have also seen him in maps that express anger well; A trait that can be considered even more necessary than all the previous traits to play the role of the young Kratos.

14. Jayman Hansu

Let me clarify this myself before you say anything. Indeed, Kratos is not black, but this character does not actually have the same skin color as an ordinary person. If you know Kratos, then you know the story of his pale skin. So any actor selected for this role must have some skin color change, whether in makeup or through computer effects. The same is true of Jaime Hansu, like all other possible actors. So do not think that Kratos is going to be black.

But if you care about skin color, Jaiman Hansu has all the qualities needed to play the role of Kratos. Although he is a little older, we still see a ready body from Jayman. His tone of voice is what you expect from Kratos. But to be used for the role of young or old Kratos? Well, Hansu’s current appearance does not look very old, so if we look at his appearance, he can play the young Kratos as well. In this case, by following these films, he can still be used for the role of Kratos, who gets older over time.

13. Jason Statham

We have seen Jason Statham as the main character in many action movies. From the bullets that hit their enemies with fists and kicks to the skillful shootings that hit their targets from a few kilometers away. Throughout these films, Statham has experienced different personality types, from violent and talkative characters to assassins called Jack in the middle of the mission. With all this experience, playing the role of Kratos may not be too difficult and unexpected for Statham.

Physically, Jason Statham is well-known and special, and this will not be a problem for him. Perhaps the biggest challenge for Statham as Kratos, in addition to performing a make-up that makes his face look like the god of war, is his speech and accent. Statham’s tone of voice may not be far from Kratos’, but he usually appears in most of his films with his own dialect, with the slightest change, which is not very useful for Kratos.

 

12. Jon Bernthal

If you doubt that John Bernthal can play the role of Kratos well, go to his performance as Punisher. In addition to many narrative similarities, Punisher and Kratos are close in personality and behavior. So if Bernthal can beat Frank Kessel, playing the role of Kratos will not be too much trouble for him.

In terms of body and voice, Bernthal is perfectly suited to the role of the god of war. Perhaps the biggest challenge of this choice is turning Brenthal’s face into Kratos, which even the “biggest challenge” does not pose much of a problem. But if John Bernthal is still going to play the role of Punisher in Marvel, then, as his work schedule gets crowded, he will miss out on the role of Kratos.

11. Josh Brolin

We have seen Josh Brolin in so many different roles that we are comfortable with how he plays Kratos. However, although Brolin is younger than some of the options on this list, he looks a little older, so he is probably better suited to play the older Kratos than the younger Kratos.

On the other hand, due to Brolin’s performances in various roles, we sometimes see him make changes in his body so that we do not always see the muscular body that is one of the requirements of Kratos’ role. If Brolin wants to play the role of Kratos, he has to appear on the set with a ready body, which may be a little challenging for him; Whether in terms of reaching that body or in terms of other work projects.

10. Chris Hemsworth

Chris Hemsworth has become so popular in the Marvel movie world thanks to his role as Thor that he is an ideal choice to carry a franchise like the God of War‌ movies, especially if Thor is to be as soon as most of the main Avengers members of the movie world. Marvel out. Also, playing the role of another god after the god of thunder Azgard, given his familiarity with such a personality type, will be the least challenge for him.

Chris Hemsworth is one of the best options on this list regarding voice and body, but his main problem is his face. By checking all the requirements for playing the role of Kratos, however, Hemsworth bears no resemblance to the god of war. If he were to be chosen as Kratos, it would probably be the creators’ preference to use Hamsworth’s own face instead of likening Kratos to his wife, which I do not think will appeal to fans of the God of War franchise.

 

9. Steven Amal

After the entire Arrow series, Steven Amal is now considered a fit and fit actor who can free up his time to play Kratos. In some of his appearances as Arrow, we also saw make-up that was not unlike that of the bearded Kratos. In this way, Amal is among those who seem to be a good option.

But Amal’s main problem is probably how he plays. Except for a few cases, we have usually seen Amal in a situation where she portrays a cold-blooded character, and her emotions do not flare-up. In the same emotional outbursts, we have not seen anger similar to the wrath of the god of war. If Steven Amal can portray Kratos-like behavior in games, in addition to his fame, he could be one of the best options.

8. Gerard Butler

If you’ve watched the movie 300, you know for a fact that Gerard Butler will be a perfect Kratos. Butler is one of the most popular choices for fans almost every time he talks about choosing Kratos, and it is not difficult to understand why. In addition to his good looks and voice, Butler has experience playing roles such as Kratos.

Butler’s only challenge to the role of god of war is probably to prepare his body. We have seen him with a ready body in the role of King Leonidas, but whether he can achieve that body now is the main question. Of course, given the potential of God of War movies, I don’t think Butler wants to miss this opportunity.

7. Wayne Diesel

Wayne Diesel is almost perfect for playing Kratos. A fit body, a good voice, a resemblance to the face, and the experience of playing different roles are some of the options that help Diesel perform the god of war better. His reputation is such that he persuades the directors of a film studio to invest in him to attract more audiences.

Perhaps the biggest obstacle for Wayne Diesel is his commitment to other studios. In addition to planning to build a fast-paced franchise for the next few years, he also has contracts with companies like Marvel that make his plans busy.

 

6. Jeffrey Dean Morgan

Jeffrey Dean Morgan would be one of the best choices to make an old movie or TV series about Kratos. I do not think anyone is opposed to Dean Morgan having one of the best voices, both in body and expression, as Kratos. He is also such a good actor that one can not even imagine that he can not cope with the role of Kratos. Morgan also has a relatively quiet schedule, and if he is not going to go to the spin-off of Nigan after The Walking Dead, he could consider playing the god of war.

However, the role of Kratos will require a muscular and fully prepared body, which Jeffrey Dean Morgan does not seem to be in good shape at the moment. If he can solve this one case, he can easily be seen in the role of an old Kratos.

5. Joe Manganiello

Joe Manganiello is one of the unlucky ones on this list. Despite all his potential, we have never seen this actor used properly. We probably do not have a better choice than Joe Manganiello for the role of Deathrock at the moment. Still, unfortunately for him, the situation in the DC movies is not very good, and it is possible that Joe Manganiello will not be able to appear in the role of Deathrook again.

Nevertheless, perhaps Mangnilo can be presented to the audience as the god of war. In most areas, the right conditions play the role of Kratos. However, it is not uncommon for Joe Manganiello to play a role with Kratos’ personality traits. If this is also solved for him, it will be a good option to portray the god of war.

4. Hugh Jackman

If Jackman got bald right now (depending on the young and old version of Kratos) and posted a make-up photo of himself as the god of war, you would probably think that Kratos has jumped out of the video game into the real world. . In terms of acting, I do not think anyone has even a 1% doubt that Jackman will not be able to catch up with Kratos. If he is not going to return to the role of Wolverine, we are on the side of a perfectly suitable actor in the role of the god of war, who has a very high reputation and a relatively quiet work schedule.

But the biggest question that arises is whether Jackman is ready to get his body ready to play a character like Kratos again? Hugh’s main reason for stepping down from Wolverine’s role was the body’s difficulty in preparing for the role; Something that is also needed for the god of war.

 

3. David Batista

We have seen his progress day by day since Batista entered the world of acting. From the Marvel movie world to the Blade Runner franchise and the lead role in Army of the Dead and even his appearance in Dune are proof of this successful path. Although we did not see him in the role of characters like Kratos, as this process continues, it will not be too difficult for him to portray the god of war.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will be Batista’s last appearance in the role of Drax, which means that his work schedule will probably be left behind. Batista’s fitness as a former wrestler is not a big deal. If he works on his acting techniques and speaking style to look like Kratos, he is an ideal choice for the role.

2. Jason Momoa

Many of the requirements for playing Kratos are easily met by Jason Momoa. From any point of view, this actor is one of the best options to play the god of war. Cal Drogo in Game of Thrones is also one of the best examples that can show to show that Momoa can be a good Kratos both in terms of game and appearance.

Momoa’s biggest hurdle, however, is probably her presence in DC movies and her role as Aquaman. Having such a role makes the actor have a busy work schedule and has to maintain the appearance of Aquaman, which includes long hair and roots; Things that make it impossible for him to become Kratos.

1. Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne Johnson, or Rock, is an interesting combination of the previous two options. Just as David Batista became an actor after retiring from the wrestling world, so did Johnson become one of Hollywood’s most iconic actors today. And just as Jason Momoa has all the qualities to become a Kratos (young or old), so does Johnson.

The interesting thing about Johnson is that he is also a member of the Disi cast. In addition, we usually see this actor in a large number of annual Hollywood works. I don’t think Rock would want to turn down a few non-franchised films to play God of War. On top of all that, the good thing about Johnson is that most of Grimm’s works are similar, and on the other hand, similar to Kratos, so he won’t have the trouble of maintaining an appearance, unlike Momoa.

If an actor were to be cast as Kratos, who would you be? Who do you consider the most suitable actor to play the role of the god of war? Or do you think the God of War franchise should not be adapted for live-action and is as likely to fail as many video game adaptations?
