Today, a new report announced that actor Mandy Patinkin has joined the assmable cast of God of War for Prime Video. He is slated to play the Norse God Odin in the upcoming live-action series. Patinkin is best known for his famous role of Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride, but has most recently appeared in the network series Homeland. He is described as “Odin, the All-Father, is not physically imposing or particularly god-like, but looks can be deceiving. He is the most powerful Aesir god, a patriarch who leads with an iron fist and is an unrivaled seeker of knowledge. When it comes to seeking out prophecy, Odin is paranoid, manipulative, and dangerous— he will do anything to try and prevent Ragnarök, the Norse end of days.” He will serve as Kratos’s (played by Ryan Hurst) main antagonist. Ólafur Darri Ólafsson was also confirmed to be cast as Thor, after rumors in December 2025. Production begins next month in Vancouver.
