Christopher Judge on video game industry and God of War

Overview

During a Fan Expo panel, voice actor Christopher Judge, known for portraying Kratos in the ‘God of War’ series, addressed both the industry practices of video game adaptations and the future of the franchise.

Judge criticized Hollywood for a pattern of failing to hire original creators and cast members for adaptations. He specifically questioned why original writers were not utilized for the upcoming Amazon ‘God of War’ series and noted that while HBO’s ‘The Last of Us’ was successful, the original cast provided an ‘unreal’ performance that went unused.

Transitioning to the franchise's success, Judge attributed the longevity of ‘God of War’ to Santa Monica Studio’s respect for its fanbase. He also paid tribute to TC Carson, the original voice of Kratos. Looking ahead, Judge noted upcoming developments including ‘God of War: Laufey’ in early 2027, which will feature Faye in a lead role, as well as announced remakes of the original trilogy and ‘God of War: Sons of Sparta’.
