The God of War Ragnarok provides gamers with an interesting set of actors who perform the known characters.
These are the game’s protagonists whose roles and detailed personalities determine the evolution of the world by Norse mythology.
Now let’s consider the main heroes of the series and the actors who voiced them.
The Leading Characters
Kratos and Atreus once again are the main protagonists of God of War Ragnarok but fresh characters and coming back gods enhance the plot.
These characters are played by method actors who all have something to add to the part, which adds hugely to the game ed’s realism.
1. Kratos – Christopher Judge
Christopher Judge has reprised his voice and motion capture performance for Kratos, the Ghost of Spart electorate.
Judge Kratos has a deep commanding tone that has a certain weight behind it, this voice suits Kratos who is a warrior mortal, father with internal turmoil.
Judge doesn’t overplay the aggression but seamlessly shifts back and forth between a beast and a slightly broken man, especially in his relationship with Atreys.
2. Atreus – Sunny Suljic
Atreus, the son of Kratos, is voiced by Sunny Suljic once again. Ragnarok Atreus is the main character as the player experiences his struggles with his identity and role in the prophecy.
Suljic embodies the childish, as well as complex, ideologically transformed nature of Atreus, depicting his character’s development in the game.
3. Freya – Danielle Bisutti
Freya is a main character wracked with guilt and fury; Bisutti is credited for being the voice behind the character. Freya is the person Kratos once served and she entirely blames him for the death of her son, Baldur.
Bisutti does a magnificent job of depicting Freya’s unadulterated suffering, and the feeling of betrayal that the character has in her which brings out the true character of Freya.
4. Thor – Ryan Hurst
Ahken, also known as Thor the god of thunder is given a voice by Ryan Hurst followed by Sons of Anarchy fame. Thor as depicted in God of War Ragnarok is nothing but a vengeful and angry man loyal to Odin.
It is due to Hurst that Thor has this massive muscle personality decorated with a certain measure of complexity.
5. Odin – Richard Schiff
Odin, the All-Father, is portrayed in the series and is given voice by Richard Schiff whose measured and subtle vocal delivery does justice to this, venerable god character.
Schiff plays manipulative and dangerous tones with Odin which makes him a good match against Kratos and Atreus.
Supporting cast and actors
In the God of War Ragnarok, some side characters bring depth to the narrative. They are also used majorly to shape the plot and have significant roles to play with Kratos alongside Atreus during the game.
6. Mimir – Alastair Duncan
Alastair Duncan returns as Mimir, Kratos’ wise and sentient severed head, who can speak after having his tongue cut out. Duncan is quite wily and entertaining in his portrayal of Mimir on the trip through the game.
7. Angrboda – Laya DeLeon Hayes
Laya DeLeon Hayes as Angrboda, the young Giant who much like Atreus’ mother Ivaldi holds the key to explaining the protagonist’s fated role. Thanks to Hayes the audience receives a warm and honest main character to remember and identify with.
8. Tyr – Ben Prendergast
Ben Prendergast is Tyre, the Norse god of war. It is important to note that while Tyr is described as a so-called ‘‘god’’ he does not have the hot-headed savagery of Kratos and Prendergast plays this with tranquility.
9. Brok – Robert Craighead
Robert Craighead is credited with speaking for one of the two dwarven blacksmiths named Brok. The comedic aspect of the story comes from Brok’s carefully thought-out one-liners and no-nonsense demeanor, and Craighead did not disappoint.
10. Sindri – Adam J. Harrington
Finally, Sindri, brother of Brok, and a master blacksmith is done by Adam J. Harrington. I like how Harrington captured Sindri’s anxiety and tidiness Well done to add both comedy and romance.
More Special Characters
It must be said that with these secondary characters, their actions may not always be in the spotlight, however, these characters are developed far from being useless within the game’s universe.
11. Sif – Emily Rose
Emily Rose voices Sif, Thor’s wife. She is caring about her family and provides the needed cushion to Thor’s brutal persona. Rose’s performance makes Sif stately but down to earth.
12. Faye – Deborah Ann Woll
Diane Ann Woll is reprising her role as Faye, Kratos’ deceased wife, mentioned throughout the game. Jerri Woll is a most expressive actress, and the little words spoken show more confidence and power which Faye teaches Atreus.
13. Thrúd – Mina Sundwall
Thrúd is Thor’s daughter and is full of ambition and strength Mina Sundwall voices the character. Sundwall is full of energy and determination and makes the character of Thrúd one of the most memorable of the background characters.
14. Skjoldr – Blake Jackson
Blake Jackson plays the character of Skjoldr, who has a brief appearance but serves as a help to Atreus on his adventure. Performing Jackson’s appeals to the audience the youthfulness and bravery of the character.
15. Fenrir – Richard Epcar
Fenrir the giant wolf participating in the game is voiced by Richard Epcar and he is a very important figure according to Norse mythology. Trying out the character, Epcar infuses a powerful, deep-bodied resonance for the portrayal which captures the possibilities of Fenrir’s savagery.
