God of War Show Filming Paused After Kratos Actor Ryan Hurst Tears Bicep Filming Stunt
Production on the Amazon MGM and Sony Pictures God of War television adaptation has been temporarily halted after lead actor Ryan Hurst suffered a torn bicep while filming a stunt. According to reports, the injury is severe enough to require surgical intervention, sidelining Hurst from the set for an extended recovery period that could stretch well beyond the producers’ initially optimistic mid-August return date.
The production setback potentially signals a significant delay for the highly anticipated live-action adaptation, with sources suggesting filming could be postponed as far back as 2027 depending on Hurst’s recovery timeline. This marks another challenging development for the project, which previously experienced production turbulence in 2024 when original showrunner Rafe Judkins departed, leading to Ronald D. Moore—acclaimed for his work on Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine—taking over creative direction of the series.
