Ryan Hurst, the actor portraying Thor in the upcoming God of War Ragnarök, stoked his rivalry with Kratos during a recent visit to Santa Monica Studios. The developer reinvented its mythological action franchise with its 2018 installment, and a highly-anticipated sequel will conclude Kratos and Atreus' Norse journey. God of War Ragnarok's version of Thor was officially revealed back in September 2021, and fans are extremely eager to see the God of Thunder face off with the Ghost of Sparta.

While he only makes a brief physical appearance, Thor looms large over 2018's God of War. Due to his immense strength and importance among the Aesir pantheon, the mighty god is depicted in multiple statues and mural illustrations throughout the game. He is well-known among God of War's supporting cast, with Brok and Sindri having crafted Thor's iconic hammer Mjolnir and Mimir speaking dismissively of the "fat dobber." Thor's lightning-powered sons Magni and Modi even appear as a boss fight towards the middle of the journey. A scene depicts Thor arriving on Kratos and Atreus' footstep, possibly seeking revenge after Kratos and Atreus kill Magni and Modi, if players return home after beating God of War.
