Amazon's God of War Series Brings Back Voice Actor Alastair Duncan as Mimir Alongside New Dwarf Castings
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Amazon's live-action God of War series brings back game actor Alastair Duncan as Mimir, alongside Danny Woodburn and Jeff Gulka as the blacksmith brothers Brok and Sindri.
Amazon is making a smart move with its upcoming live action God of War adaptation by bringing back familiar talent from the games. Alastair Duncan is officially reprising his role as Mimir, the self proclaimed smartest man in the world, ensuring the character keeps the exact voice and charm fans fell in love with across the 2018 title and Ragnarok. Joining Duncan are veteran actors Danny Woodburn and Jeff Gulka, who have been cast as the beloved, bickering dwarven blacksmith brothers Brok and Sindri.
Variety revealed the official character descriptions alongside the casting news, highlighting how the series plans to adapt these fan favorite figures. Mimir remains the quick witted advisor seeking atonement after his imprisonment by Odin. Brok brings his trademark brash, foul mouthed energy, while Sindri rounds out the dynamic as his neurotic, germophobic brother. These additions fit into an already stacked ensemble that includes Ryan Hurst as Kratos, Teresa Palmer, Max Parker, Mandy Patinkin as Odin, and Olafur Darri Olafsson as Thor.
While Amazon has not yet announced a release window for the first season, the project has already secured an early renewal with a second season greenlit. Bringing in the original voice talent for Mimir shows a clear respect for the source material and the community that made Santa Monica Studio's modern Norse saga a massive hit. For players who spent dozens of hours listening to Mimir tell stories during boat rides, hearing a familiar voice in a live action format bridges the gap between controller and screen.
