God of War Ragnarok is just a few weeks away, and fans are most excited about the game. Ryan Hurst, the actor who plays Thor in God of War Ragnarok, talked about his portrayal of the character and how he tried to bring his “human” side into the light. He also mentions Thor’s daughter and wife.
Ryan Hurst talked about how thor is a big guy and how he is not just a god, but there is a human side to him as well. He mentioned that players will investigate relationships with Thor’s father, wife, and daughter during the game. This could be similar to what we saw with Baldur in God of War 2018.
Ryan Hurst also mentioned that Santa Monica has gone old school regarding the Norse mythology the game is based around. Players will see a side of Thot that is not typical, like him being a drunk and trying to quit drinking. His take on this will be of a god trying to be as human as possible.
From this information, we can speculate that Thor will have a major role in the game, even if that does not amount to much screen time. We can also speculate that we will fight him more than once, similar to the fights with Baldur in God of War 2018.
According to Norse mythology, Thor’s wife is called Sif, who is known as “a prophetess called Sibyl, though we know her as Sif.” Sif is further described as “the loveliest of women” with hair of gold. Which makes you think about how you ended up with Thor. This could be an arranged marriage, but there is nothing that we know for sure about their relationship.
Thor’s daughter Thrud is the goddess of power, trees, flowers, and grass. Her name means strength in Old Norse. This also happens to be the name of one of the valkyries who serve ale to the einherjar in Valhalla. How Santa Monica Studios approaches the character will be very interesting.
Let us know what you think about Thor in God of War Ragnarok and whether or not you are interested in playing the game.
