God of War Movie: Speculations Explained!
YouTuber Foxstar Media has released trailers for an upcoming God of War movie that is supposed to release soon in 2024. These trailers feature Dwayne Johnson as Kratos with Sony Pictures and Santa Monica Studio collaborating to put to life a live action movie. These trailers have already proven to be fake but fans should definitely get excited about an upcoming God of War live action series under development at Amazon Prime Video.
However, these fake trailers don’t mean that there was never an actual possibility of a live action God of War movie. Here are some media interactions where a God of War live action movie was in discussion and serious consideration.
Earlier, producer Charles Roven had mentioned the franchise’s big screen potential, “We’ve been enthralled by this project since our first time playing the game in March and realized its narrative had great potential for large-screen production.”
Sony Santa Monica’s director of product development John Hight (via UGO) confirmed a script’s existence, “I don’t believe anything other than a script has transpired at this stage. I think as part of the agreement that (the movie studio) is supposed to (consult us), so if we hear something, than we’ll know. But at this point and in the past two years, we’ve heard nothing.”
The Hollywood Reporter later revealed more updates on the potential God of War movie in 2012 that Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan were hired to rewrite that script, following up on executive producer David Self’s work. Dunstan then revealed an update on the film, “‘God of War’ was turned in last week, and by god, the reason I cannot wait for you guys to see that is because yes. Yes, the door was left wide open to be bold, and that is why that movie… I really hope it sees the light of day and comes out charging, because it’s a lightning strike.”
However, a Sony spokesperson told The New York Times in 2021 that there were never plans for a God of War movie to be developed, squashing many fans’ hopes.
Ragnarok is available for purchase on Play Station 5 and Play Station 4. God of War Series is currently under development and doesn’t have a release day yet.
