After rumors began to circulate that Prime Video's God of War series was considering casting Dwayne Johnson in the titular role of Kratos, one of the franchise's creators immediately shut down the gossip.

"I have literally never heard anything about this," he simply wrote. Many followers expressed their satisfaction with the news, stating their beliefs that Johnson, who is widely regarded as one of the most recognizable faces of modern Hollywood, would be a pure fit for the video game adaptation.
