WWE Legend Dave Bautista Showcases Transformation to Play Kratos in 'God of War' Series in Video

WWE Hall of Famer Dave Bautista is already embracing the physical demands of his latest acting role.

Bautista posted an Instagram video showing his progress after three weeks of weight training to prepare to star as Kratos in the upcoming God of War series on Amazon Prime Video. Despite having two more months of training ahead of him, the 57-year-old is already in impressive shape, and he said that getting back to his workout routine is "like ridin a bike!"

It was less than a month ago that Bautista was confirmed to be taking over the role of Kratos. Veteran actor Ryan Hurst was originally cast in the role and put on 40 pounds of muscle to play the part. Unfortunately, he suffered a torn biceps while filming a stunt in late June that required surgery, and his recovery timeline extended beyond the shooting schedule.

Bautista is widely regarded as the greatest wrestler-turned-actor of all time, so fans will certainly be looking forward to seeing him star as the beloved video game character when God of War makes its way to Prime Video.
