Amazon has unveiled the first official look at its much-anticipated live-action adaptation of 'God of War,' confirming that production is now underway in Vancouver and revealing the lead cast in costume for the first time.

The newly released image features Ryan Hurst as Kratos, the formidable Spartan warrior turned god, alongside Callum Vinson as his young son Atreus.

The series, commissioned by Amazon Prime Video, marks the first live-action retelling of the globally popular video game franchise.

As previously reported by Variety, the show will adapt the narrative arc of the two most recent God of War games, which follow Kratos as he attempts to raise his ten-year-old son while navigating the perilous world of Norse mythology.

According to the official logline, father and son embark on a journey to spread the ashes of Kratos' wife and Atreus' mother, Faye.

Along the way, Kratos strives to teach his son how to be a better god, while Atreus challenges his father to become a better human.

The ensemble cast also includes Max Parker as Heimdall, Olafur Darri Olafsson as Thor, Mandy Patinkin as Odin, Alastair Duncan as Mimir, Danny Woodburn and Jeff Gulka as the dwarf brothers Brok and Sindri, and Ed Skrein as Baldur.

The series has secured a two-season order at Amazon. Acclaimed television writer and producer Ronald D. Moore serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner under his Tall Ship Productions banner. The first two episodes will be directed by Frederick E.O. Toye.

Executive producers include Maril Davis, Cory Barlog, Naren Shankar, Matthew Graham, Asad Qizilbash, Jeff Ketcham, Hermen Hulst, Roy Lee, and Brad Van Arragon, with Joe Menosky, Marc Bernardin, Tania Lotia, and Ben McGinnis serving as co-executive producers.

The series is co-produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios in association with PlayStation Productions and Tall Ship Productions.

Interesting! Norse mythology getting the big-budget treatment. We have such rich epics like the Mahabharata here—hope this series' success makes studios look at adapting our stories too. The production team looks stellar, so expectations are high.

Two-season order straight away? Amazon must be very confident. Filming in Vancouver usually means great visuals. Just hope the story and emotions aren't lost in all the CGI spectacle. The father-son journey theme is universal.

While I'm excited, I have to offer some respectful criticism. Video game adaptations have a very mixed track record. I hope they focus on character depth over just action sequences. Kratos' internal struggle is what makes the recent games so good.

Mandy Patinkin as Odin is inspired casting! The supporting cast looks fantastic. Hope they do justice to characters like Mimir and Brok & Sindri. Their humor was essential in the games. Fingers crossed! 🎮

Another day, another video game adaptation. Hope it's better than most. At least the source material is strong. The "journey to spread ashes" is a powerful premise. Will definitely give it a watch on Prime.
