Prime Video’s recent TV adaptation of the God of War video games recently hit a snag when original series star Ryan Hurst (Sons of Anarchy) tore his bicep on set, leading him to leave the role of Kratos. However, Variety reports that the project may get an upgrade in star power as a result, with Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy, Glass Onion, Blade Runner 2049) in talks to take on the character.

Bautista has developed quite the acting resume over the past ten years, but this would be his first series regular role — at least if you don’t count his years as a professional wrestler in the WWE. He’s a familiar face to Prime Video subscribers as well, having starred in movies like this year’s The Wrecking Crew and the My Spy duology.

The God of War series also stars Callum Vinson, Teresa Palmer, Max Parker, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Mandy Patinkin, and Ed Skrein. The show was created by Ronald D. Moore, whose past projects include the acclaimed Battlestar Galactica, one of the best sci-fi series of all time. For a taste of what’s to come, God of War: Ragnarok is available now on PS5 via Amazon.
