Casting information for Amazon's live-action series adapted from SIE's "God of War" game series has been leaked online, giving fans a preliminary idea of ​​the show's direction and tone.

According to leaked details, the live-action adaptation of 2018's God of War 4 will feature "adult themes, intense physical performances, and a strong emotional core centered on the emotional relationship between Kratos and his son Atreus."The show is currently in the active development stage and is expected to start filming in Vancouver in March 2026. The broadcast window is scheduled to be between the end of 2027 and early 2028.

Many of the main characters listed in the leaked documents use codenames, but they are highly consistent with the settings of the core characters of the game.

in:

"Zion" is considered to correspond to Kratos, described as a man between forty and sixty years old who has suffered from war and loss, and is burdened with a violent past.The role requires extreme physical performance and scenes that may involve nudity, showing that Amazon's God of War won't shy away from adult-oriented narratives.

"Joshua" is apparently a codename for Atreus, and is described as a nine to twelve-year-old boy who is intelligent but emotionally neglected, reflecting the strained father-son relationship in the original.

More details revealed that the series will also introduce familiar characters from Norse mythology.

"Alexander" is most likely Odin and is described as a manipulative family patriarch obsessed with prophecy and control.

"Glen" (Glen) is suspected of being Balder, described as a smart, calm man but resentful of his family.

Both character descriptions mention battle scenes and simulated sex scenes, further highlighting the show's adult orientation.

"Phoebe," who appears to be a counterpart to Sif, is portrayed as a strong but conflicted woman torn between family loyalties and political tensions, underscoring the show's focus on complex relationships rather than pure mythical spectacle.

The show is created by Ronald D. Moore, who created "Battlestar Galactica" and "Outlander," and has been ordered by Amazon for at least two seasons.Moore's participation means that the play will emphasize rich worldview construction and deep emotional narrative.The plot will be adapted from the 2018 game, telling the story of Kratos and Atreus embarking on a dangerous journey to fulfill the last wish of Kratos's deceased wife - to scatter her ashes to the highest mountain in the Nine Realms.
