Prime Video has added several new cast members to its upcoming God of War adaptation. The additions introduce characters connected to Thor’s family and a prominent Valkyrie leader. The latest update expands the Norse lineup as production continues on the live action series.
God of War cast adds Louis Cunningham as Modi and more
A Prime Video press release confirms four new cast members have joined the live action God of War adaptation. Louis Cunningham will play Modi, one of Thor and Sif’s children.
Cunningham joins as a series regular alongside Island Austin, while Ben Chapple and Evelyn Miller will appear in recurring roles. Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios produce the series in association with PlayStation Productions and Tall Ship Productions.
Cunningham will portray Modi, described as “Sif and Thor’s middle child, Modi has a gentle disposition and an obsessive, almost insatiably curious mind. He loves puzzles and complex problems—to such an extent that he often gets lost within them and forgets everything else around him.” Cunningham starred as Louis XVI in Marie Antoinette, and Sequel Management represents him.
Ben Chapple will recur as Magni, “Sif and Thor’s eldest son. Handsome and adventurous, Magni is an excellent hunter and natural ladies’ man, but the life of an immortal playboy has begun to feel hollow and Magni is yearning for a greater purpose. He is extremely protective of his younger brother, Modi.” Island Austin joins as Thrud, “Sif and Thor’s youngest child,” who is “precocious, inquisitive, curious, and fearless, with a natural yearning for knowledge.”
Evelyn Miller will recur as Gna, “Odin’s Valkyrie commander. A fierce warrior, she is devoted to her duty with a loyalty to Odin that borders on fanatical. Highly disciplined and uncompromising, she is dedicated to serving the realm, occasionally at the expense of her own wellbeing.”
The series has received a two season order, with production underway in Vancouver, and Ronald D. Moore serves as showrunner, executive producer, and writer.
