Spoilers: Thor will be in God of War Ragnarok. Hardly a shock, considering he's one of the most important figures in Norse myth — and it seems like he'll stand opposed to Kratos and Atreus. While his appearance was teased in the previous game, we've not really had a good look at him yet. Don't worry — Santa Monica Studio has unveiled a series of portraits showing each major character in Ragnarok, and that includes the god of thunder.
Here he is:
As you can see, the character is being voiced by Ryan Hurst, a veteran actor famous for roles in Sons of Anarchy, Outsiders, and lots more. Thor in God of War Ragnarok looks like a tough cookie, and we cannot wait to do battle with him when the time comes. That's going to be one awesome boss fight, right?
Anyway, courtesy of IGN, here are all the portraits for everyone else. They include other newcomers to the cast, including Angrboda, Durlin, and Tyr:

Battle of the dad bods it is then.
@nessisonett I wish I had Kratos’s Dad bod, but alas, I have Thor’s.
Not quite how I imagined him. But this could be a Thor who's a bit washed up after the war with the giants and no battles to fight.
So glad Mimir is back, I loved his witty dialogue in GoW.
@nessisonett Dad of Bod: Dadbodrok
@Enuo Ok Dadbodrok is genius. Sony better snap that one up.
@DarthKiwi - I will never not have a wide grin on my face whenever he tells one of his tales or cracks a joke.
Mimir foreshadowed Thor's appearance in the first game, remember when Mimir was telling Artreus about the World Serpent, and how he "Absolutely loathes the fat dobber".
@JustPlainLoco Have you heard of the audiobook for GoW? Mimir narrates it.
Thor you fat b*****d… Should be an easy boss fight, Kratos will run rings round him.
@AdamNovice - No but I certainly want it now!
I love how Kratos is finally going to have a foe that stands toe to toe with him that has a middle age dad bod.
Damn Modi looks a lot like his father if you do a side-by-side comparison, the resemblance is near uncanny in the facial department.
Now imagine if the thor from films looked like him 😂
It's in keeping with the appearance Thor has in Norse mythology for those who weren't expecting Dad bod Thor
Angrboda is the mother of Fenrir so... HYPED.
Love all the art.
@BusyOlf Yeah, people are used to the Marvel one at this point. I would think there are many who probably think he was an Avenger to begin with.
@UltimateOtaku91 Well he did look a bit like this in one of them.
@JustPlainLoco
It's great!
Wheres Odin? Unless They are Going to Show Him Later.
I respect this direction. It's way more convincing than the standard comic inspired stuff.
Giving Endgame Chris Hemsworth a run for his money!
Is this version of Thor battling depression too?
Vin Diesel must be preparing to play him in the movie.
Everybody in nu God of War seems to be turning into a bear. I love it.
@UltimateOtaku91 Have you not seen Endgame? Lol
Need a Doughnut Kratos skin to make it fair
No sign of Odin makes me think he'll turn up right at the end, and secretly be zeus. Also in most Norse tellings Thor has either has a red/ginger beard with black hair or red hair and beard. Plus that's a power belly like in words strongest Man. Whilst both Eddie hall and hafthor have slimmed down for their fight neither could when the title of world's strongest Man without a power belly!
Why thor is fat? Isn't he fight all the time like kratos? Can't wait for the game
@Enuo 'Bod of Dad" ?
Not a game I thought I'd ever play, but here we are...
@JustPlainLoco doesn't he basically show up in a sort of 'post-credits' scene?
Thor’s hot. Bring on the Thor x Kratos fan ahem “art”…
Thor will be no pushover. Going by the mythology, he's stronger than any of the Greek Gods.
"Thor in God of War: Ragnarok"
Now I want to see the God of War in Thor: Ragnarok!!
Lol did people really expect a Chris Hemsworth look a like.
So here's hoping that after a bit of a dust up between our favourite God of War & Mr Thor, they become friends and team up, allowing us to have a few levels playing as Thor with Miljoner, chucking lots of lightening around.
Or at least lend it to Kratos for a bit.
The MCU has opened the door for fat Thor... love it.
Fat Thor returns!!!
Bod of Thor: Ragnarok
Marvel Fangirls will not be happy with this online.
"You're a bit more along than I would have expected, Thor, particularly 'round the middle." -Rubeus Odin
I mean when you consider how much he eats and drinks in the Norse tales, and the fact he just has to throw his hammer and most things die, this seems like a perfectly reasonable portrayal.
@rjejr
With the Rock as the god of war 😂
Finally the perfect cosplay for me
One Belly-flop from him and Kratos would die instantly
Raf Grassetti is a beast!
Weird to reveal him like this after all the build up...
He looks way different then I would've imagined but he definitely fits well into the God of war universe
Love the art. I think it's a good thing that they didn't go with a perfect Marvel version. This fits perfectly in the GOW world.
I'm excited to see what will be the next boss fight like queen Valkyrie. That was one hell of a fight.
Seen this story pop up elsewhere & shake my head at those comparing to Marvel Movie Hemsworth Thor....if you'd played ps4 GOW, you know what you're getting! Still have mixed emotions with Freya as an antagonist now. That's one boss fight I don't want...& I hate to think of the story twists after the first game & those to come ahead of the inevitable clash!
@rjejr Vin "skips abs day" Diesel.
@wiiware Because this is Norse Myth Thor and not MCU Thor.
@RavenWolfe81 But Vin never skips a meal. 😉
@Dezzy70 That would be pretty funny actually, sign me up.
@WallyWest I didn't know about norse myth thor, I only know marvel movie thor lol.
Thor - I am God of thunder & lighting
Atreus - Dad! It's a huge lighting man
Kratos - Boi, that is one thicc SOB
@wiiware Yeah Chris Hemsworth the actual Norse Myth Thor was not, he was known for being a bit of pig and over indulging as well being just awful. I'm actually surprised they stuck so close to that depiction.
@Residentsteven I know we’ve discussed before and I really hope this one grabs you.
@WallyWest The north mythology lore in gow are interesting, I'm not only platinum the first game but 100% it to see all the lore and the world. I'm glad SSM stuck to the "real" lore rather than the marvel pg 13 version.
Love that they're keeping his appearance accurate to the myths/legends!
I mean Hemsworth‘s Thor or rather most versions of Marvel Thor was too bright to fit in the GoW world to begin with so I don't think they would have considered that version even if they didn't go with lore-friendly version here.
They didn't have PELATONS or BOWFLEX machines back then.. I don't see why anyone is surprised dude is big boned and chubby.....
