In an interview with Game Informer, God of War Ragnarok‘s director Eric Williams revealed a little more behind the design of Thor ” The Biggest Butchering Bastard in the Nine Realms,” on the game. In the interview. Williams revealed that they decided to base his look entirely on how he is described in the myths. He also made sure to point out that even though this version of the character doesn’t have big muscles like the Marvel interpretations, he will nonetheless have the godly presence and intensity that made him known in the texts. Williams also described the character as a ”wall of a God” while revealing that he will also be extremely immature thanks to all of its power.
With all that said, this version of Thor looks like a fresh take on the character and one that, according to the game’s director, will without a doubt be a mighty foe for our father and son duo in God of War Ragnarok. You can check out the character’s full visual below, which was revealed together with that of many more of the game’s main cast. Thor will be played by Sons of Anarchy’s Ryan Hurst.
