Why God Of War's Kratos Voice Actor Didn't Return For The Prime Video Series

Christopher Judge has been the voice of Kratos in the "God of War" video game franchise ever since he took over the role from T.C. Carson. But Judge won't be portraying Kratos in the "God of War" Prime Video adaptation, which is currently in development. Although he revealed at Fan Expo Canada that he had considered going for the role, he soon realized it wasn't for him. "I didn't want to, at 62 years old, work 16-to-18-hour days," he said (via Collider). "I didn't want to be dieting constantly; I didn't want to be working out constantly."

Why God Of War Voice Actor Christopher Judge Realized He Couldn't Play Live-Action Kratos

When news broke back in July that Ryan Hurst tore his bicep on the set of the live-action God of War series, fans immediately began worrying that the search for a new Kratos was going to lead to someone undesirable being cast in the role.

However, before long, Marvel Studios alum Dave Bautista was officially tapped to step into the Ghost of Sparta's sandals.

Still, a vocal chunk of the gaming community held out hope for a different name: Christopher Judge.

Ever since he took over performance capture and voicing the character back in 2016, Judge has been Kratos for millions of fans.

As it turns out, Judge actually gave it a shot.

Christopher Judge Explains Why He Turned Down Playing Live-Action Kratos, and His Reasoning Makes Total Sense

For fans who spent years watching Christopher Judge breathe life into Kratos across two critically acclaimed ‘God of War‘ games, the idea of finally seeing him embody the character in live-action felt like an inevitable next step. That dream got even closer to reality once Amazon’s television adaptation began taking shape, fueling years of fan campaigns hoping Judge would make the jump from motion capture to full physical performance.

That anticipation only grew once the search for a live-action Kratos officially began, with Judge himself acknowledging online enthusiasm for the idea at various points along the way. Behind the scenes, though, the actor was wrestling with a much more complicated decision than fans realized,

Michael Shanks Just Revealed What Amazon’s Canceled ‘Stargate’ Series Actually Would Have Been About

The ‘Stargate‘ franchise has spent years hoping for a proper continuation, and when Amazon MGM Studios greenlit a new series from showrunner Martin Gero, it finally looked like fans were about to get one. That hope came crashing down in June, when Amazon abruptly pulled the plug on the project despite it having already completed a full writers room and entered pre-production in the UK.

The cancellation sparked one of the more persistent fan campaigns in recent franchise memory, complete with a Change.org petition, a banner plane over Amazon MGM’s Culver City lot, and public support from original cast members including Robert Patrick. Nearly three months later, that campaign hasn’t slowed down,

5 Television Dramas Better Than The Movies That Inspired Them

These days, film and television share a unique (if not symbiotic) relationship. In our streaming era, television has become the new gold standard that Hollywood's biggest performers seem to flock to. Of course, television has always been influenced by the big screen. Plenty of sitcoms have been adapted from hit movies, and there are some notable sci-fi shows that were directly inspired by classic movies too. The question is, how often is the TV remake or reboot better than the original film?

We've rounded up five solid examples of television shows that proved better than the films that inspired them.

Why The Animated Stargate Spin-Off Failed, According To The Writers

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.

The "Stargate" franchise is something of a behemoth in the world of science fiction. 1994's "Stargate" movie was meant to kick off an entire trilogy. That didn't happen. Instead, MGM brought the property to TV, where it thrived for much of the 2000s thanks to shows like "Stargate Sg-1" and "Stargate Atlantis." Unfortunately, the franchise's attempt to branch out into animation didn't go nearly as well.

Airing as part of the FoxBox Saturday morning cartoon lineup, "Stargate Infinity" premiered in 2002 and wound up running for a single, 26-episode season. Generally speaking, fans don't rank it highly among the "Stargate" spin-offs,
