Prime Video’s God of War, based on the popular PlayStation game, has added Ed Skrein (Jurassic World: Rebirth) as Baldur. The series is currently in the pre-production stage and has already been confirmed to run at least two seasons.
Prime Video offers this description of Skrein’s character: “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.”
Ronald D. Moore (Outlander) guides the series as showrunner, executive producer, and writer. Frederick E.O. Toye (Shōgun) will direct the first two episodes. Additional executive producers include Maril Davis, Cory Barlog, Naren Shankar, Matthew Graham, Asad Qizilbash, Jeff Ketcham, Hermen Hulst, Roy Lee, and Brad Van Arragon.
“God of War follows father and son Kratos and Atreus as they embark on a journey to spread the ashes of their wife and mother, Faye,” reads Prime Video’s synopsis. “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.”
