How Tracy Ifeachor’s Character, Dr. Collins, Is Written Out Of ‘The Pitt’ In Season 2 Mandy Patinkin Cast As Odin In Prime Video’s ‘God Of War’ Ólafur Darri Ólafsson Cast As Thor In ‘God Of War’ EXCLUSIVE: Prime Video‘s God of War series has found its Thor. Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (Severance, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty) has joined the cast of Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios’ TV adaptation of PlayStation’s ancient mythology-themed video game of the same name. Thor is the God of Thunder, a mountain of a man who has weathered many a battle in his time, but whose actions in a war fought long ago now haunt his waking hours. Once the loyal soldier of Asgard and his father’s right-hand man, Thor is now but a shadow of his former self as he drowns himself in alcohol and tries not to think of the price he paid. Keeping his wife and children at arm’s length has only deepened his isolation, but the power (and danger) of the God of Thunder is still there just beneath the surface.
