Jake gyllenhaal kratos — 5. Jake Gyllenhaal

Okay, listen, this might seem like a bit of an outlandish choice - and possibly not what you would want. If there's anything that Jake Gyllenhaal screams, though, it's arrogance, and if you have played any of the earlier God of War games then that is exactly what you'd expect from Kratos. Chuck some nice armor on this bloke, and you'll have one arrogant son-of-a-gun. Perfect! | © Sony Pictures

Mel gibson kratos — 4. Mel Gibson

Have you ever seen that god-flippin' awful Christmas movie, Fatman? You know, where Mel Gibson is a giant bearded Santa Claus who gets into some pretty brutal and bloody fights with a former naughty-child? Okay, well if you haven't then know that - how questionable Mel Gibson's opinions and behaviors are - he could totally pull off Kratos. He also has that unforgiving arrogance going for him, so that's a plus! | © Saban Capital Group

3. David Hasselhoff

Okay now *this* is out of left-field, isn't it? Well, yeah, but come-on, a granddaddy Kratos who looks after Atreus' children? Now Dave-o here could totally pull that rubbish off. It would be, objectively, terrible. Let's be real, though, any God of War television show will probably be terrible. | © Hasselhoff's Twitter

Mark ruffalo kratos — 2. Mark Ruffalo

Now, we're certainly not going to have any haters for this one. Not only does Mark Ruffalo have that classic dad-vibe that we all want from Kratos after he charmed us in God of War 2018, but he has proved himself as a badass action hero in the Marvel movies. Honestly, if this guy can take The Hulk, one of Marvels absolute worst characters, and make him cool? Yeah, he won't have any trouble with an already-cool character like Kratos! | © Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

Nick offerman kratos — 1. Nick Offerman

Okay, okay, yeah, we get that this isn't particularly original. We're leaning a bit into the meme here, but you know what? For good bloody reason! This ex-Parks and Rec star is not only a talented and forking, hilarious outdoorsman, but he sports some hella-sexy facial hair. As a dad? Perfect! As a badass and sexy-ass man? Perfect! What's not to love? Honestly, get outta here with your complaining. Nick Offerman would be forking perfect! | © Hulu

Kratos is a pretty iconic character. From that world-famous, and frankly adorable, relationship he has with his son, Atreus, to that incredibly manly and incredibly sexy facial hair, he is one fabulous man. So, the news this week that Amazon may be in talks with Sony to produce a God of War television show for their Prime Video streaming service, comes as a pretty great opportunity to show off this bad-boy in all of his glory. Who would be the best actor to play him, though? Well, that's a difficult question, so here are our five favorite options!
