Thor will look very different in Amazon MGM's upcoming God of Warseries. For over a decade, the famous Norse god of thunder has been portrayed by Chris Hemsworth in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, making him the image of the character in the public consciousness. Yet the upcoming God of War series, based on the 2018 video game of the same name, in which Kratos takes on the Norse pantheon, will feature its own distinct version of Thor, and they've found the perfect actor.
