Amazon's upcoming God of War series just got a whole lot more mythical! The cast list has expanded, and it's a family affair for Thor.
Prepare for some thunderous family drama as Modi and Magni, Thor's sons, join the fray. Louis Cunningham and Ben Chapple will bring these brothers to life, with Modi's curious mind often leading him astray and Magni's charm and restlessness driving his search for meaning. But here's where it gets controversial—Thor's daughter, Thrud, played by Island Austin, is described as fearless and a natural peacemaker, but is she as innocent as she seems? And what about Odin's 'fanatical' Valkyrie commander, Gna, portrayed by Evelyn Miller? Her unwavering loyalty to Odin might raise some eyebrows.
The Asgardian family tree is well-represented, with other notable cast members including Ryan Hurst as Kratos, Callum Vinson as his son Atreus, and Teresa Palmer as Phoebe/Sif, Thor's wife. The series will explore the complex dynamics between these gods and their quest for personal growth.
The official logline teases a journey of self-discovery for both Kratos and Atreus, as they learn from each other to become better gods and humans. With a second season already approved, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of this epic adaptation.
