A lot of people want Dwayne Johnson to play Kratos on the God of War show.

The hugely popular God of War franchise changed the gaming world with its 2018 reboot, which set a new bar for story telling. There will never be another game like it, with over 37 million pieces sold across PS4, PS5, and PC. Now that God of War is ready to move into the entertainment world, it’s going to have an even bigger effect.

Towards the end of 2022, Sony officially announced the development of a God of War TV series on Amazon Prime Video. Shortly after, fans began speculating about the ideal actor to portray the iconic bald and muscular protagonist, Kratos. One name that consistently emerged with these criteria in mind was Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, with many assuming he had already been cast in the role.

Amidst speculation about the casting of Kratos, one fan’s tweet claimed that the show’s directors were “strongly considering” Dwayne Johnson for the role, according to TMZ. The tweet garnered 40,000 likes and reached an audience of 21.2 million people.
