Amazon Has Officially Cast Atreus in Its Upcoming God of War Series

Atreus debuted in the 2018 game God of War as Kratos’s son and is central to the game’s story. Though they are father and son, Kratos and Atreus don’t initially have a close bond. Kratos has kept his distance, but the pair are brought together after Atreus’s mother, Laufey, dies. Their relationship changes significantly as they journey together, making the actor who plays Atreus – Sunny Suljic – just as important as the actor who plays Kratos. Suljic’s performance in God of War Ragnarök was even recognized with a nomination for Best Performance at The Game Awards in 2022.
