One of the most intriguing additions to God of War Ragnarök’s cast is Thor, who only had a minor role in 2018’s God of War, and at that, only in the game’s “true ending”. The Norse Aesir god of thunder, lightning, storms, and strength, he’s the son of Odin and husband of Sif. In God of War Ragnarök, he appears early on as one of the game’s antagonists––and takes on Kratos in a knock-down, drag-out battle.
But who is Thor’s voice actor in God of War Ragnarök? It’s a fair question–– you may not have heard him in a video game before, but he has plenty of roles under his belt. We’ve got all the answers here and more.
