Amazon’s ‘God of War’ Finds Its Atreus in ‘Chucky’s’ Callum Vinson!
Prime Video’s God of War video game adaptation is coming, and over the past few weeks, they’ve made a few monster announcements: Ryan Hurst (The Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy) is set to play “Kratos”, while Max Parker will be starring as the sinister “Heimdall“, and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson is the God of Thunder, “Thor” in the from series from Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios.
Now, they have announced the series’ main protagonist: “Chucky” star Callum Vinson will play Atreus in Prime Video’s God of War .
Vinson, who also stars as a young Jason Voorhees in Peacock’s Friday the 13th series, Crystal Lake, plays Atreus, the ten-year-old son of Kratos (Hurst), who grew up in a remote forest cabin, isolated from the rest of the world and raised almost entirely by his mother, Faye.
He is an accomplished archer, has an affinity for animals and is intensely curious about what lies beyond the confines of his forest home. After his mother’s death, Atreus is left with a cold, distant father who he barely knows and who knows little about him in return. Nonetheless, Atreus yearns for his father’s approval and is desperate to prove he is strong enough to survive in a harsh and dangerous world.
God of War follows father and son Kratos and Atreus as they embark on a journey to spread the ashes of their wife and mother, Faye. Through their adventures, Kratos tries to teach his son to be a better god, while Atreus tries to teach his father how to be a better human.
Emmy Award-winning director Frederick E.O. Toye (Shōgun, The Boys, Fallout) has signed on to direct the first two episodesof God of War.
Based on PlayStation’s massively popular ancient mythology-themed video game, the series has received a two-season order, with pre-production underway in Vancouver.
