Taking part in the God of War within the upcoming Prime Video tv sequence comes with sure expectations. Kratos, the sequence’ protagonist, is a demigod with chiseled abs most individuals might solely dream of. Dave Bautista, the actor portraying the PlayStation icon, has his work lower out for him — a wild factor to think about, provided that he is already a beefy man.
Bautista is engaged on it, although, as evidenced by a latest short clip the actor shared on social media. The Guardians of the Galaxy star stated he was three weeks into his new weight coaching program, and that he had “2 extra months to get the place I must be.” The place Bautista must be is Kratos-sized and sculpted.
Bautista makes it sound like filming for Kratos hasn’t begun but, which is sensible. The production restarted in summer 2026 after an on-set accident. The unique actor who was solid as Kratos, Ryan Hurst, tore his bicep whereas performing a stunt. Prime Video needed to scrap a number of episodes that had been reportedly already accomplished.
Hurst’s preliminary casting was additionally the supply of a lot controversy, as followers believed that the present did a poor job of capturing Kratos’ menacing look. Early pictures hailing from the set had been ridiculed on social media after they had been launched. Followers acquired Bautista’s casting with extra enthusiasm, however the actor nonetheless faces the daunting process of bulking as much as borderline unrealistic proportions.
Bautista didn’t share a exercise routine, which is a disgrace. Fellow Sony sequence star Tom Holland went viral earlier in 2026 after sharing a Spider-Man: Brand New Day exercise the place he did as many units as potential inside 20 minutes. That set consisted of 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, and 15 air squats; Holland claimed he could usually do at least 20 rounds of that circuit throughout the allotted time. The Odyssey film additionally made waves in health circles as viewers got here up with challenges that mimicked the issue of Odysseus stringing his notorious warbow. I am positive the God of Struggle routine would have completed numbers!
The primary season of the present is ready to comply with the occasions of the 2018 sport, the place Kratos and his son Atreus go on a journey to unfold the ashes of their partner and mom, Faye. Battlestar Galactica‘s Ronald D. Moore would be the sequence showrunner. There are solely a few months earlier than Bautista will get on the decision sheet, however he sounds prepared for it.
“Like ridin a motorbike!” Bautista stated. “LFG!💪🏽”
God of Struggle is predicted to reach on Prime Video someday in late 2027 or early 2028. The present has already been greenlit for 2 seasons.
