Dave Bautista has packed on 20 pounds as he prepares to play Kratos in Prime Video's upcoming God of War series, according to Deadline. The actor has been sharing his physical progress online since circling the role.
Bautista had slimmed down considerably in recent years after jumping to over 300 pounds while prepping for M. Night Shyamalan's Knock on the Cabin in 2023. Kratos, a god and the divine personification of strength in Greek mythology, is a character partially inspired by mythological sources in the God of War video game.
