Prime Video will recast the lead role on its upcoming adaptation of “God of War” after star Ryan Hurst was injured on set, Variety has confirmed.

Hurst had been set to play Kratos, the titular god of war, and Prime Video even released a first look at Hurst in the role this past February. But then the Sony Pictures TV/Amazon MGM series, an adaptation of the PlayStation video game, suffered a setback in June when Hurst was injured.
