Here’s Who Could Be Atreus If ‘God Of War’ Continues Its Perfect Casting

3 min read

Atreus/Owen Cooper

Sony Santa Monica/Netflix

A God of War TV show always seemed like a tall order, a massive video game series in scope that would have to measure up to rivals like The Last of Us and Fallout. And it would probably be even more difficult to film. However, a string of casting announcements have reassured fans that yes, this might end up going very well indeed.

Before all this, we knew that the series was being made by Ron Moore of Battlestar Galactica and For All Mankind fame. Good start. But now the casting list has proven stellar, minus what is easily the second most-important role yet to be cast: Atreus.

Forbes‘God Of War’ Just Cast Its Odin

Atreus is Kratos’ son who recently lost his mother and searches for answers about her past with his father. In gameplay, you summon him to blast enemies with arrows. In the story, he creates a father-son dynamic with more emotional depth than anything in the entire Greek mythology run of the series. It’s a role key to the concept of these two most recent games and, as such, an incredibly important part that will require a young actor to mesh well with Ryan Hurst’s Kratos.

As you may see above, I have at least one theory about who God of War may try to grab here: young Emmy-winner Owen Cooper of Adolescence, one of the great miracles of Hollywood, whose smash critical and audience hit was his first acting job…ever. Now, he has his choice of roles. He will appear in the upcoming Wuthering Heights, but past that, it would seem his schedule is open. I 100% have to believe he’s under consideration.

Alfie Williams

28 Years Later

He’s not the only name to surface. Alfie Williams seems like another potential pick, perhaps even closer in appearance to Atreus. While you may not know his name, he’s been a standout in both 28 Years Later and 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple as effectively the lead of those films.

One issue brought up is that Atreus, especially in the first game, is meant to be younger. Cooper is 16 and Williams is 15. However, what has been made clear from these other casting announcements is that the God of War show is apparently going to quickly move into the events of the second game, which includes characters like Thor, Sif and Odin who did not appear in the original at all. That may be because the events of the first game take place over a day or so, and it may be hard to stretch an entire first season out of that. So yes, I think those teens are still viable given the time skip.

This announcement has to be imminent. I may be totally off-base, and the show plucks a complete unknown out of the ether for the part, but if I were them, these two are worth pursuing, and either is likely to do a great job.

Finally, for reference, here’s who has been cast so far in God of War:

• Ryan Hurst as Kratos
• Max Parker as Heimdall
• Ólafur Darri Ólafsson as Thor
• Teresa Palmer as Sif
• Mandy Patinkin as Odin

MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia

MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia

The post MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. MoneyGram has launched a new mobile application in Colombia that uses USD-pegged stablecoins to modernize cross-border remittances. According to an announcement on Wednesday, the app allows customers to receive money instantly into a US dollar balance backed by Circle’s USDC stablecoin, which can be stored, spent, or cashed out through MoneyGram’s global retail network. The rollout is designed to address the volatility of local currencies, particularly the Colombian peso. Built on the Stellar blockchain and supported by wallet infrastructure provider Crossmint, the app marks MoneyGram’s most significant move yet to integrate stablecoins into consumer-facing services. Colombia was selected as the first market due to its heavy reliance on inbound remittances—families in the country receive more than 22 times the amount they send abroad, according to Statista. The announcement said future expansions will target other remittance-heavy markets. MoneyGram, which has nearly 500,000 retail locations globally, has experimented with blockchain rails since partnering with the Stellar Development Foundation in 2021. It has since built cash on and off ramps for stablecoins, developed APIs for crypto integration, and incorporated stablecoins into its internal settlement processes. “This launch is the first step toward a world where every person, everywhere, has access to dollar stablecoins,” CEO Anthony Soohoo stated. The company emphasized compliance, citing decades of regulatory experience, though stablecoin oversight remains fluid. The US Congress passed the GENIUS Act earlier this year, establishing a framework for stablecoin regulation, which MoneyGram has pointed to as providing clearer guardrails.

Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise

Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise

The post Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, filed to raise $4 billion through an at-the-market equity offering to expand its SOL holdings. The company’s stock (FORD) fell 8.2% following the announcement, while the proceeds could more than double the $3.1 billion currently held in Solana treasuries. DeFi Development Corp. also registered a preferred stock offering with the SEC, following similar funding tactics used by Bitcoin treasury companies like MicroStrategy. Forward Industries, the newest and largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed to raise $4 billion through an at-the-market equity offering. For the sake of comparison, this $4 billion raise is nearly the same size as Bitcoin treasury Strategy’s Stride preferred stock raise in July. And it’s double the size of the Strife preferred stock offering the company did in May. The proceeds would be used for working capital; pursuit of its Solana token strategy, and “the purchase of income-generating assets to grow its business,” the company said in a press release. Forward Industries declined to comment to Decrypt on what other income-generating assets it’s considering adding to its balance sheet.  As markets opened Wednesday morning, Forward saw its stock price take a dive. The shares, which trade under the FORD ticker on the Nasdaq, dipped to $31.29 before rebounding to $34.28 at the time of writing—marking a 8.2% fall for the session. If the company sells all the shares and spends the bulk of the proceeds on buying Solana, it could more than double the amount of SOL being held in treasuries. At the time of writing, there’s already $3.1 billion in Solana treasuries, according to crypto price aggregator CoinGecko. Users on Myriad, a prediction market owned by Decrypt parent company DASTAN, have been growing more confident that SOL will reach $250 sooner than…
