I’m prepared to get down voted to hell but I genuinely don’t think this is good casting at all. But then again I really don’t like that. The original guy got recast because he got hurt on the job and that really sucks that they’re replacing him for doing his job. I also don’t like that they’re skipping the Greek games like they aren’t important, even though they’re literally the pillar that the franchise was built on.

Fully agree. I cannot guess why people are lauding Dave in this role.

I don't understand the dave glazing for this role. I think he did great as drax. Other than that Ive hated just about everything i have seen him in. Hes not a good actor and doesnt have what it takes to bring Kratos to life in live action. He doesnt look anywhere near like Kratos, he lost virtually all his muscle mass, he MAYBE able to make hes voice sound decent but i doubt it. I dont see this going well at all. Ill bet people are goin to say its being reviewed bombed when it comes out. Same thing with the last of is shit show.

Im so frigging happy he wont be cast as Marcus Fenix, apparently they want someone younger. Thank fuck.

I don’t have anything against Dave. I like him as an actor. I just don’t think he’s a great choice for Kratos.
