The second most important role for the upcoming God of War series from Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television has been officially cast. Callum Vinson has signed on to play Atreus, the son of Kratos in the series.
Atreus, the ten-year old son of Kratos, grew up in a remote forest cabin, isolated from the rest of the world and raised almost entirely by his mother Faye. He is an accomplished archer, has an affinity for animals and is intensely curious about what lies beyond the confines of his forest home. After his mother’s death, Atreus is left with a cold, distant father who he barely knows and who knows little about him in return. Nonetheless, Atreus yearns for his father’s approval and is desperate to prove he is strong enough to survive in a harsh and dangerous world.
This is Callum’s third time working with Sony Pictures Television, his two previous roles were in the third season of The NIght Agent and Long Bright River on Peacock.
Callum joins Ryan Hurst as Kratos, Max Parker as Heimdall, Teresa Palmer as Sif, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson as Thor, Mandy Patinkin as Odin, Alastair Duncan as Mimir, Jeff Gulka as Sindri, and Danny Woodburn as Brok.
