God of War‘s TV adaptation is one of the most hyped-up projects in development. Although there have not been many substantial updates, the fans cannot stop talking about it. Some prominent names like Dwayne Johnson and Triple H are making rounds on social media, while some fans have shown their intense creativity by casting Chris Pratt.
The game by Sony has grown up to be a successful name in pop culture. It has a massive fanbase, and everybody is excited to see what Amazon and Sony are cooking for them in the name of a live-action adaptation. Recently, The Last of Us adaptation has raised the bar in terms of both casting and plot. This has also motivated the fans to fan-cast their favorite God of War characters.
Who can be the perfect Kratos for God of War?
Currently, Kratos is one of the most favorite names in pop culture. The character has amassed an insane fan following, and the fans are keen to know who will play him in the upcoming TV show. Christopher Judge, the actor of Kratos from the games, is a prominent contender for the role. Not only do the fans love him, but he has also shown interest in reprising the role.
However, fans also speculate that Amazon may look forward to casting a more familiar face for the series. Rumors stated that Dwayne Johnson and Jason Momoa could be the possible castings. From having the physique and stature of Kratos to prior experience in similar roles, they are popular fan castings for the show.
Fans have also suggested other names like Triple H, Dave Bautista, Djimon Honsou, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. It cannot be denied that all of them have their fair share of reasons for not going to play the role, but the fan casting would not stop until the official reports come out. Earlier, it was reported by the trusted insider Daniel Richtman (via X) that the show might not drop before 2027.

Do fans want Dwayne Johnson as the Live Action Kratos?
Since the live-action God of War adaptation was announced, we have witnessed a horde of fan castings. While sometimes they look insane, sometimes they have been outright weird. Although The Last of Us’ initial backlash to its cast proved wrong after the series turned out incredibly good, some fan-castings of the GoW characters are atrocious.
Dwayne Johnson, Jason Momoa, and Triple H have been the most popular choices, while Alexander Skarsgard, Tom Hardy, and Djimon Honsou have also garnered attention. Some fans have taken it too far to imagine Chris Pratt in the legendary role. We have collected some tweets to share the fan reactions to the casting.
