In recent days, the voice of Christopher Judge has brought the character of Black Panther to life in Marvel’s Avengers. Soon he will be Kratos again. And he wanted to open up about it.
When God of Ragnarök was first teased, many observers had fun with a release window scheduled for 2021. And had feigned surprise at the announcement of the postponement in 2022. The reason for it seems to be less obvious than an excess of enthusiasm or a marketing stunt betting on the patience of the fans.
Judge is the pilot
A few hours ago, the American actor Christopher Judge, who has played Kratos since the 2018 episode, felt the need to pour out on Twitter. IGN coming to complete his ballot to designate the best game of all time according to his readers, the native of Los Angeles first expressed his emotion by noting that God of War had been designated. Before confiding on the following:
“Thank you to all the fans. Not just those of God of War but also the gaming community. ALL OF OUR GAMES have been a lifeline in these trying times. To my GofW family, I will NEVER hesitate to tell you how much I love you all! We will continue to laugh and cry and be great! This is how I feel 100%. I need to be frank. This has not been approved by anyone. For our fans well- liked: Ragnarök was delayed because of me. August 2019, I could not walk anymore. I had to undergo back surgery, replacement of both hips and knee surgery. They also waited for me in treatment of detox … “
Taking it on his own – and he’s pretty beefy, so you should be fine – Judge doesn’t flinch. He decides to blame himself for Ragnarök’s delay, when one would have thought that COVID-19 or other maneuvers provided sufficient explanations. He pursues :
No threats or “who do you think you are?”. Nothing but love and support. And Santa Monica is never said anything about the delay and what caused it. Studios can be assholes, but this company, at every level, gives us hope. What they did for the team even more … But that I can’t talk about. As I told the people involved, this is the classiest thing I have seen in the business. Everyone involved in the GofW franchise puts their heart and soul into every frame you see. I want to thank everyone who allowed me to play, to laugh, to love, to cry, without judgment but with support and unconditional love for this thing that belongs to ALL of US … “
To say too much or not enough, definition. Certainly there is respect on the part of the 1.91m colossus, and now developers are going to be hassled with questions about what he declares to be the classiest gesture in the world. Right after that, the one who will be celebrating his 57th birthday in a few days makes an equally incredible revelation.
Not far from the voice extinction
It came close. Christopher Judge was going to turn his back on this sequel. All because Cory Barlog, with whom he has forged a strong bond, does not realize it. Yes, you read that right. Fortunately, confidence was enough to restore the cosmic balance.
“Last thing. Cory Barlog told me at Tribeca he wouldn’t realize the sequel. I quit (no kidding). And he asked me: “do you trust me?” (yes), before telling me that Eric is a bully. I said it better be it… UPDATE: ERIC WILLIAMS is a fucking BRUTE !!!“
This is a punchy anecdote and praise that would tend to reassure the general atmosphere at Santa Monica and the intentions of a God of War Ragnarök that is always more difficult to wait. No doubt, 2022 is far away.
