christopher judge
christopher judge, best known as teal'c from "stargate sg-1", replaced terrence c. carson as the voice of kratos; carson had voiced kratos since the original "god of war". commenting on the change, carson said, "sony went in a new direction." barlog explained that the way the previous games were made, they were able to have someone else do the motion capture instead of the voice actor. although carson had done the motion capture for kratos in "ascension", barlog said the actor change was made because of the type of camera work they wanted to do. for the new camera work, they needed someone who was closer to kratos' size to do the motion capture along with a child. carson was unsuitable for this because he was much shorter than kratos, who is over 6-feet tall: "offsetting [carson's height] for the size of a child, it turned out it was going to be almost impossible to try and actually shoot them and go in and redo the animations." judge was chosen because he was 6-foot-3 and had the body of a professional football player. he was also chosen because of the chemistry with his then-10-year-old co-star, sunny suljic, who plays kratos' son atreus; suljic's opinion was also sought in making the decision, and out of all the auditions, he liked judge the most. the two bonded well, and judge described his time with suljic as time he had missed with his own children. in stepping into the role of kratos, judge took it as an opportunity to add something new to the character. he researched the character and carson's performance but decided not to imitate it. since santa monica was going in a new direction, he decided to start fresh. judge was thrown off when he first read the script, saying it "was a real script", and not just "a way to get into battles." he said, "it was really this great story of this relationship and this crazy mythology." while judge did all of kratos' motion capture for the cinematic scenes, stuntman eric jacobus did all of kratos' combat motion capture; jacobus was found by "god of war"s animators on youtube. instead of going directly to santa monica to audition, he recorded an audition tape and they hired him immediately.
god of war (2018 video game)
the novel introduced some characters who were not present in the game, or any other game. the goddesses demeter and hestia both made a very brief appearance just prior to kratos joining the spartans in rhodes where kratos overheard them discussing their displeasure of the endless war in greece. iris, the goddess of the rainbow and an occasional messenger, was another new character and had a more substantial role. atropos contacted iris and had her lie to zeus about kratos on several instances, and was the cause of distrust among the olympians due to her rumor spreading and half-truths. she eventually replaced hermes as the messenger of the gods. she also told zeus that he would need to appoint a new god of war. zeus pondered about making hercules the new god of war. athena wished kratos to be returned as the god of war, thinking by doing so, it would stop the chaos and dissension between the gods. hermes had thought to suggest perseus as the new god of war and gifted him his invisibility helmet. hermes eventually regained his position as the messenger of the gods when he finally convinced zeus that iris had been lying to him about kratos. iris was subsequently banished from olympus, only to appear at sunrise and sunset, and when it rained.
