Though the two leads are unlikely to return, as Christopher Judge’s health problems could cause issues when taking on such a physical role and Sunny Suljic will be too old for Atreus at the start of the story, several other cast members could return. Not only were their characters modeled directly off them, but the actors are the right age to reprise the roles in a live action retelling of God of War.

First and foremost, there is The Stranger, AKA Baldur. Portrayed by Jeremy Davies in the 2018 title, Baldur is a constant threat to Kratos, and his curse makes for some interesting storytelling. Fortunately, Baldur could feel completely unchanged in the show, as Jeremy Davies looks just like his character. From the facial hair and hairstyle to his height and build, everything fits well, so there would be little reason to recast. With experience in shows like Lost, too, Davies would surely thrive as Baldur on the small screen.

Richard Schiff’s Odin is yet another character that should be unchanged when retelling the God of War story in a new format. Schiff nails the clever, mob boss nature of Odin, and his delivery of each line does a terrific job of making Odin more likable. Thanks to Schiff’s stellar performance, players may start to be deceived just like Atreus, having some doubts about whether Odin is villainous after all. Just like with Deborah Ann Woll and Jeremy Davies, Richard Schiff’s real life appearance is very similar to the look of his video game character.

Though Danielle Bisutti is not a perfect match for Freya appearance-wise, she could still be brought back, as there are enough similarities to keep the video game design mostly intact. Bisutti’s acting was terrific in the God of War games, as Freya’s revenge on Odin and the scene where she regains the freedom to travel between the Nine Realms are both brilliant. Angrboda is yet another character that would not need an actor change, as Laya De Leon Hayes continues the trend of actors having similar appearances to their characters.
