Dave Bautista Needs to Play Kratos in Amazon’s God of War TV Show | Gaming News And Rumors 2023

Amazon and Sony confirmed this past month that its God of War TV series is now officially happening. After months of rumors and reports throughout 2022 made it sound like the show

was all but a certainty, God of War now has a showrunner in Rafe Judkins to go along with writers and producers Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby. Although no actors are yet tied to God

of War, I've spent the better part of the past month trying to figure out who would be the best choice to play the show's main protagonist, Kratos. And while in many ways I feel

like casting Kratos is a borderline impossible task, I've come to believe that there's truly no better option for the role than that of Dave Bautista. At first glance, you might

just think that I'm a supporter of Bautista playing Kratos because he looks the part. To be honest, that's a big reason behind it. Kratos is a character that essentially has to be

played by someone that resembles him. As such, this immediately narrows the potential casting choices down to actors that have the capability of matching the stature and physique

of Kratos. Simultaneously, though, the version of Kratos that we're going to see in God of War is one that will be older. With Bautista, he happens to still be big enough while

also now being middle-aged that he would be the perfect fit on all of these fronts. (Photo: PlayStation)Beyond the visual similarities, though, what really verified to me that

Bautista would be cut out to play Kratos came with recent comments that he made. Within the past week, Bautista confirmed that he would be leaving behind the character Drax

following the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. And while he expressed that he loved Drax, Bautista went on to say that he wants to do "more dramatic stuff" in the

future. At first glance, starring in a TV show that is based on a video game might not be considered the high point of drama. However, Kratos, especially based on his appearance

in 2018's God of War, is one of the most nuanced and complex characters that has ever been seen in a game. For Bautista to take on this role would be no small undertaking and would

absolutely scratch his to play more serious parts. Given what we've seen from him in previous films, too, I have no doubt that he could give a stellar performance I think what

would make Bautista an even better choice to play Kratos is that this is the type of character that he has gunned to play in the past. For those who perhaps don't remember,

Bautista has loudly stated for years that he has wanted to play Gears of War protagonist Marcus Fenix in a film iteration of the popular Xbox game. This role is one that Bautista
