Ed Skrein To Play Baldur in GOD OF WAR Live-Action Series

"Game of Thrones" and "Deadpool" actor Ed Skrein has joined the cast of the upcoming small-screen live-action adaptation of the "God of War" video game franchise. The Amazon Prime Video series will pick up with the story of the two most recent games in the series, in which Kratos must raise his ten-year old son Atreus while battling gods of the Norse pantheon. The show, which has received a two-season order, is currently in pre-production in Vancouver.

Ronald D. Moore is the writer, executive producer, and showrunner under his Tall Ship Productions banner. Frederick E.O. Toye will direct the first two episodes. Here is the official synopsis: "Father and son Kratos and Atreus 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."

Skrein will play Baldur, who is described as follows: "Baldur may be the youngest son of Odin, but he's his father's most dangerous weapon. Charismatic, unpredictable and armed with a razor-sharp tongue, Baldur lives by his own rules. As a boy, Baldur was cursed; this curse denied him the ability to feel pleasure and physical sensation. This fuels an insatiable anger and bloodlust in Baldur, who favors a brawling fighting style that blends his immense power with the raw impact of his fists. Above all else, he longs for an opponent that can truly match his prowess in battle. An opponent that can finally make him feel something."

The cast also includes Ryan Hurst as Kratos, Callum Vinson as Atreus, Max Parker as Heimdall, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson as Thor, Teresa Palmer as Sif, Mandy Patinkin as Odin, Alastair Duncan as Mimir, and Danny Woodburn and Jeff Gulka as brothers Brok and Sindri.
