Whatever happens next, the God of War series has plenty of material to mine from. First debuting on the PlayStation 2 in 2005, Kratos began his rampage through the pantheon of Greek gods, with his story eventually culminating in a brutal climb up Mount Olympus in 2010's God of War 3 – if you don't count the various spin-offs and prequels.

Amazon has been developing a live-action series adaptation of the hit ancient mythology-themed video game God of War . There have been several scripts written for the series, but the streaming service has scrapped the current iteration of the project.

According to TV and Film reporter Deadline, the live-action God of War series that Amazon and Sony announced a good few years ago will be scratched out, scrapped, and started over with a whole new team behind it.
