Ragnarok is so good that world class actors are desperately trying to be in the next game (this is simply incredible)

Stranger Things and Violent Night star David Harbour would love to be a part of whatever's next for God of War.

In an interview with Video Games FN about his general affection for video games and an upcoming role in a horror game with Killing Eve star Jodie Comer, he was asked what other video game projects he would like to be involved in. He said, “I really like what those guys in the God of War universe are doing with my buddy Richard Schiff as Odin. They sort of mess around with that genre too, and they're always surprising in terms of these gods and they wind up becoming--Thor is a big old jerk and Odin being this kind of older intellectual." He concluded by saying, "I'd be interested in possibly doing some of that.”

David Harbour is far from alone for his admiration for the most recent God of War, as it is now the fastest-selling first-party PlayStation game ever. As the game wrapped up the franchise's Norse saga, if David Harbour were to be a part of the next game, it would presumably involve a new mythological framework.

In addition to the aforementioned horror game, David Harbour is already involved in a PlayStation project. He will star in the Gran Turismo movie alongside Orlando Bloom, Archie Madekwe, and Darren Barnet. God of War will also have an adaptation via an Amazon streaming show.



This is simply astonishing. The game is still half a decade away from coming out, and hollywood actors are already desperate to get a role. Which, lets be honest, is perfectly understandable. The quality of writing in Ragnarok is better than 100% of titles released in the last decade plus. The acting is simply superb, and on another level. Everyone wants to be in the next god of war, its this good of a series now. God of War is not simply a Flagship series anymore, its THE Flagship series that demands your respect.

Respect GOD OF WAR.

Not a good day for Lems. First their games went up in price (they thought MS wouldn’t do that 😆) and now we’re finding out actors want to be in the next God of War. TLHBO.

Who?

An actual good actor.

Movie actors want roles in movies? Duh

Well I’m impressed.

Just beat the game yesterday and totally going into my #1 spot of 2022! Whoever the any actors Santa Monica hires, they better be doing Egyptian mythology next. Do I want to see Kratos in Egypt? Why the hell not? Sure, bring him to Egypt.

@hardwenzen:

Actors??? It was one .. and David Harbour is a good actor, but I would not call him "world class"

Its actorS, because i am predicting more of them being as desperate to join the god of war crew.

I found lore about the Mayans and ancient Egypt in the game. Wouldn't be surprising if the next game is in one of these two. Or an underwater world, something like the Atlantis could be amazing as well.

ahh so you are making crap up again.. I see

Predicting the obvious is not making crap up. Ragnarok is a world class game, and seeing world class actors wanting to be part of the series is nothing surprising.

Whatever it ends up, I'll be ready.

Thr further away Hollyweird stays away from video games the better. I'd rather they just stick with Voice actors.

It really does not matter anyway, as the video game industry has become Hollywood. Interesting that the major film studios are not thinking about buying out game developers and publishers.

System Wars is really going downhill...

@navyguy21: Got that right.

Sony and Warner/Discovery are already in gaming and movies. Disney is losing there ass right now and can't afford to buy anything. I don't see Universal getting involved either but who knows.

Disney buying Sony would be pretty crazy but not surprising.

Lmfao, I hope this is a joke 😂. Actors fighting to get into a movie game isn't a good thing.

"I'd be interested in possibly doing some of that".

The despiration, it's palpable.

I think David Harbour would be a great addition to GoW, but OP needs to take a few deep breaths and chill here.

Mainstream Blockbuster Movie game so actors are fighting for making movie based on game that already a movie is. LOL!!

@hardwenzen: David Harbour? Whoa…world class actor. World class.

Snigger.

What he said.

Ragnarok is so good it matched Xbox studios halo's 9 out of 10 here at game spot.

It wasn't good enough to beat Xbox studios deathloops 10 out of 10.

Chin up cows,you don't have to feel bad about not calling Sony out on game price increases now Sony opened the door to MS

Did him or anybody else wanted to be part of Halo Infinite 2.0: Beta Ends? No. So until world class actors are begging to be in MS titles, i don't think you should be moaning.

The presentation of Ragnarok is so high quality that you can indeed mistake it for a movie. Only Sony is able to reach this level of greatness.

@hardwenzen: Even Sony themselves call it a movie. Sony fans love movie games that play themselves. Reviewers do too, it’s easy money. The review basically writes it’s self and Sony sends the check.

lol

Sony fans hyping the fact their movie games can be more movie in the future.

@hardwenzen:

Breaking news; Actor currently employed by Sony as a supporting actor in the film adaptation of Sony video game Gran Turismo says he is interested in possibly doing “some of that”.

Moaning? I sniggered, and I’m still sniggering.

Snigger.

Movie game confirmed?

Another day, another backfire. Poo cows. lol :P

What he said.

ROFL

Sony releases a new "game" and the actors and movie critics flock to it.

It's not a movie game though.

You know, that "world class actor".

^^^^^

lol :P

As long as he dont play characters like Hell Boy I am pretty excited for it. He was phenomenal in Stranger Things.

Who get treated like dirt in BOTH industries. See: The VA community's uproar when it was confirmed Charles Martinet isn't Mario, but Chris Pratt is.

> Sony games aren't movies!!

> World-class actors want to be part of Sony games

lol

Ahahah you beat me to it. These guys have no interest in the game whatsoever. They're just interested in the acting parts which at this point outweigh the gameplay parts 2:1.

Are you really insinuating this is something new? Sir Patrick Stewart, Norman Reedus, Kristen Bell, Samuel L Jackson, Rami Malek, Mathew Perry, Giancarlo Esposito, Elija Wood, Keifer Sutherland, Liam Neeson, Christopher Walken, Mark Hamill, etc. have all done voice work for video games.

This is nothing new - it's been going on for 20 years.

Cows... LMAO.

@dabear: No one’s talking about the game so Sony fans got to talk about something. That game came and went faster than any other game this year.

True - they are definitely strengthening the "one and done" argument.

Especially when all the Lem mod sympathizers have abandoned forum, you know MS and Xbox is a lost cause.

TLHBO

Naming actors doesn't make you look cool, nor does it add games to your gameless Xbox.

No, but it does defeat your silly talking point.

"gameless Xbox"... LOL. Again, let's see how 2023 turns out.

You're not defeating the point of anyone. You're simply jealous of this not happening with Xbox franchises. And in 2023 you'll be talking about waiting on 2024, this is how you roll with your gameless xbox.

I'm a Sony fan and I saw this coming a mile away. lol, OP. Why make the movie game criticism even easier?

Bro, High On Life launches in a week and has voice acting by J.B. Smoove, Tim Robinson, and Tom Kenny. Grounded has a bunch of actors in it. Hell, Halo 3:ODST had Nathan Fillion and Adam Baldwin. Fable 3 had Ben Kingsley.

Your argument is ridiculously false.
