It seems that Kratos was almost the god of a very different realm: pizza. God of War creator David Jaffe revealed on X that Kratos was originally named Dominus, until a relentless onslaught of Domino’s Pizza jokes made him reconsider.

‘God of War’ casts Dave Bautista as Kratos after Ryan Hurst’s on-set injury - Los Angeles Times

“God of War” has a new Kratos. Dave Bautista will take over as the lead in the Amazon Prime live-action TV series based on the widely revered video game franchise of the same name. “Sons of Anarchy” alum Ryan Hurst had initially landed the role of one of the most famous dads in video game history, but in June he suffered an injury on-set while performing a stunt. Hurst was announced as Kratos in January, and in a social media post he said that he used to play as Kratos. “Now I get to be him,” he wrote. “Grateful to pick up the axe, and honored by the fans who made this story legendary.”Hurst needed surgery after severely tearing his bicep, and the recovery time would push production into 2027, which reportedly conflicted with filming schedules. Earlier this year, Hurst completed filming on four episodes of the first season of the highly anticipated show, but those will be scrapped and reshot with Bautista stepping in, and production resuming in the fall.
