Amazon's Prime Video has announced three new cast members for its upcoming live-action God of War series, including Alastair Duncan reprising his role as the character Mimir from the video game franchise. The series will also feature Jeff Gulka as the dwarven blacksmith Sindri and Danny Woodburn as Sindri's brother and fellow blacksmith Brok.

Why it matters

The God of War video game franchise has a passionate fan base, and the casting of actors who have previously portrayed characters from the games in the live-action adaptation is likely to please those fans and build anticipation for the new series. The addition of these three new cast members rounds out the key supporting characters alongside the previously announced leads.

The details

Alastair Duncan, who voiced the character of Mimir in the God of War video games, will be reprising that role in the live-action series. Mimir is described as a 'cheery fellow from Celtic lands with an expansive intellect, a quick wit, and a good head on his shoulders.' Jeff Gulka will play the neurotic, germaphobic dwarven blacksmith Sindri, while Danny Woodburn will portray Sindri's gruff, foul-mouthed brother and fellow blacksmith Brok.

  • The God of War TV series is currently in pre-production in Vancouver.

What they’re saying

“Never at a loss for words, Mimir is the self-described 'Smartest Man in the World'. He served as an advisor to Odin the All-Father, who ultimately banished Mimir to confinement in the trunk of a tree, forever cut off from the people he loves and anything that could nourish his mind. In the wake of his banishment, Mimir seeks atonement for the terrible deeds he committed in the All-Father's name.”

— Alastair Duncan

“Sindri is a renowned dwarven blacksmith whose incredible weaponry is sought after across the realms. Neurotic, helpful, and extremely germaphobic, Sindri is the complete opposite of his cranky, foul-mouthed brother and business partner, Brok.”

— Jeff Gulka

“Brok is a legendary dwarven blacksmith who was alienated from his community when he helped build a super-weapon. He is brash, irreverent, and gruff – the complete opposite of his uptight brother and fellow blacksmith, Sindri, with whom he has a contentious relationship. Gamers will know Brok as the beloved weapons dealer with an unrivaled artistry for creative, foul-mouthed curses.”
