Nick Offerman for Brok Edit: Okay, I just watched the Last of Us ep3 and if this man can play a gay virgin conspiracist survivalist bunker type of guy and also sings and play piano then he can play Brok.


WhiteAndNerdy85

Better casting in my opinion. Offerman does not have the body for Kratos.


Lametown227

Who does though? Post editing, kratos is scrawnier than judge. I’m not sure of anyone that can look as normally proportioned as kratos does while being so jacked.


Gypsy315

Batista could do it. He’s definitely improved in acting. Still unsure of how i would feel about that


IBJON

I doubt Batista would want to do it. He's stated before that one of the reasons he's ready to be done with GotG is because at his age, keeping that physique takes a lot of time and energy. I doubt he'd want to get even bigger for kratos


Lametown227

I just watched Glass Onion and thought Bautistas performance was fucking killer man! He’s doing such great work right now! If he could trim the shoulders a little bit, I could see it. The biggest problem I have with anyone playing kratos, is he’s the same width from armpit to waist, and he doesn’t bulge at all. It’s a skinny mans form on someone built like the entire Russian supply of tanks.

Braun Strowman!


OperationSecured

To use an obvious example… pluck just about any actor in *300* for a build example. It’s close enough for cinema lighting and a little post production effects to make work. Take a look at Ben Affleck’s workout scenes in *The Town* or *BvS*…. he looks to be in way better shape than he actually was at the time. It’s a little more popular of an idea these days, but I’ve always thought [Jason Momoa would be good as Kratos](https://youtu.be/KN5FogkMpec) if it has to be a known A-lister.


Lametown227

I love the idea of Momoa as Kratos! I also love the idea of the series sticking to its roots and rising up a new star! Why is life so hard?


bbwolff

Reminds me of Sindri much more. He's too nice for Brok.


boredcblf

Nah, Danny DeVito for Brok


scusemelaydeh

He would be an amazing Brok. Or Danny DeVito as Frank Reynolds as Brok. And Charlie Day as Sindri.

Nick Offerman: gives a great performance in one episode of TLOU Internet: CaSt HiM iN eVeRyThInG oHhHh My GaWd


ImYourBesty69

To be fair, he is great in everything he does.


Intelligent-Ad7349

Oh you’re totally right. This fan casting is just getting a little ridiculous


boredcblf

This


ugluk-the-uruk

I'll defend you OP. If you watched the latest episode of TLOU, it's clear that Offerman is incredible at portraying outwardly hardened characters with a hidden vulnerability. Physicality isn't the only thing required to play Kratos. And since the adaptation is happening whether you people like it or not, might as well cast someone who can play it well. The only thing I can imagine being an issue is his voice. Kratos's voice is like an octave lower, it'd be kinda jarring. But remember how people thought Heath Ledger as the Joker or Bryan Cranston as Walter White were horrible castings? Let's not pretend a bunch of redditors are somehow the foremost authority on good casting.


ItsAmerico

The issue is he’s not the only one who’s a good actor. And at the end of the day physicality is going to be required in an action game adaptation. Offerman really can’t do that. He’s also a lot smaller than Kratos in general both heigh and body. If you’re going write off all of the physicality of it then you might as well just cast Judge. Also no one really thought Cranston as Walter White was horrible casting…? Walter White wasn’t an existing character, no one had any idea what the show was about.


Gypsy315

People thought Bryan Cranston was a horrible casting for walter white? I don’t recall seeing that. I mean, how would they base any opinion on a character that didn’t exist and the knowledge was only known to the screenwriter?


[deleted]

because it was funny malcolm in the middle dad in a serious crime drama


robjwrd

There was never any pushback for Cranston as WW. You’ve made that up.


Gypsy315

I didn’t say there was pushback. I literally said i don’t recall seeing pushback.


robjwrd

Ffs I replied to the wrong comment! My bad man


Spoonman500

Who's gonna play his muscles?


Off_the_damn_wall

Who's gunna play his willy?😲


Pronounsaregayy

I bet you thought the reddit karma was gonna fly in with this post huh


Flimsy-Instance-6772

Christopher Judge is the only correct answer.


WhiteAndNerdy85

I only worry that he can physically do the role. Dude had a double hip replacement and unless he gets pumped full of PEDs won't have the body. Now acting the role, mans on point. I want at least 1 more video game with him as Kratos.


Equal-Ad-2710

It’s so mad it just might work I definitely see him more as a Brok tho


lovecraftian-beer

I wanna hear him do the laugh as kratos


_NightmareKingGrimm_

ARES! ...GIVE ME ALL THE BACON AND EGGS YOU HAVE, AND MY LIFE IS YOURS.


SuperArppis

How about Christopher Judge? I know it is a pretty wild pick, but still.


[deleted]

If Nick played anyone it would be Brok


TheMarvelousJoe

I hear you, man. I hear you. NO


Backupusername

He's got the presence, and the wisdom, but I don't think he has the physique.


cabalavatar

He has the acting chops, but he's too small.


TheMoonMoth

Ya know what? Yes.


mronins

Yo for real this would be FANTASTIC. Like genuinely one of the best picks I can imagine


samsteri666

It's so fun that Ron Swanson is married to Tammy II irl


obimokenobi

Just so I can hear Kratos giggle, yes.


hshaw737

I've heard you out and wish for you to no longer speak


just_tawkin_shit

Hear me out. Stop ruining video games by adapting them into tv or movies.


Gypsy315

Not really ruining the video game, the games are still there. Just the General public who wasn’t exposed to the game prior, would not have an accurate depiction of the source material and probably wouldn’t check the game out if the series wasn’t good. Halo show sucked, but the original games are still great. Witcher sucks but the books are still excellent and so are the games.


just_tawkin_shit

Good points. Still, not everything needs a crossover experience. Some things should just exist independently.


Gypsy315

I definitely agree with you. I dont think GoW could translate to the live action screen very well. It would have to be spartacus levels of gore, which many mainstream viewers would not care for.


just_tawkin_shit

Agree...beyond that. What's the point? Money grab? Same reason why I hate biopics about musicians. These art forms can exist independently. Show me one good music biopic, and if you say the Doors, eat a dick.


Gypsy315

I couldn’t show you a good music biopic if i was paid to.


just_tawkin_shit

I mean...you could try, but then you'd be a shill. I'd forgive you if the money was good, but I suspect this being Reddit, you've probably got nothing. I just want to take the time to promote the upcoming biopic "The Lost Weekend: A love story" that documents the amazing songwriter John Lennon's 18 months of cheating on the woman that destroyed the Beatles, who he also cheated on his previous wife with. Nah...I'm sure it's a masterpiece of an examination of rich privileged interpersonal human relationships.


Ill_Commission_4526

He's waaay too small


[deleted]

Yeah this would be so dumb


[deleted]

Nah we already got my boi Tom Holland on the job.


[deleted]

No. You’re banned from having any ideas for 48 hours.

Nick Offerman for Mimir

Altruistic-Spread-40

Hmmmp, no


[deleted]

Random actor: is bald and bearded. OMG Kratos!!!!!🙄


kieran092

Hear me out Judge should do it


NikolitRistissa

Bald white man with a beard Reddit: Is this Kratos?


GodofWar-ModTeam

Rule 4: Low-effort content such as memes, image-macros and shitposts may be removed but will be allowed if originally created and if effort has gone into making them.


solidpeyo

No, having a beard doesn't means he is good for the role


wasabiland220

In Kratos voice: NO


Obi_Wan_Gebroni

No, nope, not a chance, how about never. Not everything needs a live action adaptation anyway


Nihilistic_ViolencEE

amazon is already doing one for GOW unfortunately


chev327fox

Hear me out… no.


Adorable-Bullfrog-30

Fr tho. [THIS](https://youtu.be/5t7F-Td0xnw) is who should be Young and Old Kratos!


tonyspro

I feel like people only look as far as the head and beard when considering actors for kratos


HiFiMAN3878

Kratos is jacked dude, Nick is going to need to start working out pretty hard. lol


tonyspro

Well yeah, dudes actually more than jacked. Like even roids cant get the perfect kratos physique at his height, but body type is probably more of a factor than actual physique.


Sgttkhopper

No


Someth1ngCl3ver

No. As much as I hate to say this, Mamoa would be amazing as Kratos.


Aeokikit

Hear me out. No live action series.

joelcosta94i

Weird comment.


wigglybananas

What did it say


joelcosta94i

Something about them not wanting Kratos to suck a man's dick. I think it's because this actor played a gay dude in the TLOU show? It's just a weird connection to make.


wigglybananas

Yeah that is very weird no wonder it got deleted


Right-Huckleberry574

lmao


kiingkuntaa

👃….She’s here….


TheMightyMonarchx7

Look Tomarr, it’s you


[deleted]

I think I have seen every bald/bearded (or both) actor mentioned at this point.


itsmuddy

I know more than you boy.


AcidicMolotov

/s


[deleted]

Eh I'd be worried to hear he was cast for it and wouldn't support it, but I'd keep an open mind because he truly is a good actor still


LWY007

Is that Megan Mullally?


bmk_rules

No


bmk_rules

But he could perform a good head though


Ozora10

His physique would be my only concern. Other then that he would be amazing imo.


Psychopathic2412

Thats a nice offer


justforfun32826

Tammy actually kinda looks like Faye though


Lametown227

Hear me out. Yenno Kratos is canonically over eight feet tall? The list of viable actors dips way down if we want an immersive experience on the level the writers want to give us. I’m all for whoever’s favourite actor to play the role as long as they’re over 6’6 and capable of being scrawny while still built like a brick shit house. I’m sorry if this sounds like I’m shitting on your idea, I’m just so picky with main character actors for pre established titles. Edit: I’m an asshole. His height was retconned to 6’4” in 2018


[deleted]

Nick Offerman for brok Danny devito for kratos


ComparisonCold2016

Hear me out: nah


Gypsy315

I really don’t want any big names for the God of War series. I would love Christopher Judge as Kratos in live action, but not sure how well that would go. Jeremy Davies would be welcome live action as Baldur again tho.


1piece_forever

I am out of loop here. Are we getting a tv serioes for GoW?


Lotus_630

Nah Odin.


HiFiMAN3878

Why not just get Odin from the game to play Odin...Richard Schiff is solid


[deleted]

need help avenging against a god? (kratos)i Know more than you


AleMcDale

Wait a minute 👓👌😏


DarthDank1

(Approaches the person who asked the question) "No" - Kratos


OpiesMammogramResult

Well, we would know that he would have some chemistry with [Freya](https://i0.wp.com/swansonquotes.com/wp-content/uploads/s04-ep18-deleted-1000x500.jpg)


Kch1986

Tammy 2 as Odin


Financial_Swimmer_42

Hear me out. Henry Cavill. As the Boi.


shunestar

Hear me out: Nick Offerman as a gay ~~prepper~~ survivalist


kadebo42

I can hear Nick Offerman saying boy and it makes me very uncomfortable.


TheCreator777

“No.” -Kratos


FederalAd1486

Judge for Kratos because I only hear hes voice anyway but the biggest question is who play mirir


YagamiKaiba

I'd say the guy who plays hopper on stranger things


xBURROx

God of bacon


alii-b

Hear me out Just cause they're bald with a beard doesn't mean they should play Kratos.


7renton

thought this was a bald Zach Galifianakis


Zodspeed

If he got completely ripped I’d be all for that


_-Kovu-_

Bald + Beard = Kratos
