We’ve just got our first look at Kratos and Atreus in Amazon Prime’s upcoming live-action God of War adaptation. A tweet from the show’s official handle showcases the duo in what appears to be a scene from an early point in their story.
If you haven’t played the games that brought this chapter of Kratos’ story to life, the scene in question is part of the early hours of the first title. Kratos has just lost Faye, his wife and Atreus’s mother, and is trying to determine whether or not his son is ready for the long journey to the highest peak in all of Midgard, where they must spread her ashes. The former God of War is quite a grouch in these early days of the adventure, and Kratos’s dour expression in the photo makes us believe that Ryan Hurst has done his homework.
Of course, the star of the show, in our humble opinion, is Callum Vinson’s Atreus (or Boy as Kratos knows him then), who’s looking absolutely adorable even as he seems to be under pressure to prove himself to a father he doesn’t fully understand yet.
All in all, things are looking quite good for the show, although it might be a while before we get to see it in action, despite a second season already on the way.
