Jason Momoa

Though his time as DC’s Aquaman hasn’t been great, Jason Momoa always makes the very best of what he’s given, and it’s about time he was given a meatier role. Momoa has proven throughout his career that he has the physicality required to play Kratos, and though his roles haven’t always shown it, he’s clearly a very talented actor. Kratos would finally give Momoa the complex, grounded performance his career deserves, and his natural charm would be used to great avail in any scenes with Mimir.

Jon Bernthal

A bit of a wild card in the list, Jon Bernthal could actually make for a great Kratos. After his portrayal of The Punisher in the Netflix Marvel universe, it’s clear to see that Bernthal can play a part that’s dealing with extreme loss and guilt over a past life, and he can play it well. Bernthal has shown throughout the years that he’s capable of playing a character that’s stoic and calm, but is capable of unleashing his anger at a moment’s notice, and that sounds like a perfect fit for Kratos.
