He's getting on in years but the sole black casting I would not complain about is if they used Christopher Judge/Teal'c from Stargate because he's the voice actor for Kratos. Plus, he's meant to have ash covered skin anyway so regardless Judge being black if they were going to be lore accurate [ahahahahahahahahahahaha] then they could just whiteface cover Judge in grey ash.
I don't mind him being cast as black, his voice actors were black IIRC, and it would give some life to the ghost of Sparta ash he should be covered with
I'm more concerned about him "ruling with respect" as it were
Like that sure, I would have no problem with it. But if they would put a black actor for Kratos they will make sure everyone knows he is black, always.
It would also have some ham fisted message on how hard he had it for being black.
At the very least Kratos will be black. Is hard to make him gay but I would not put it past them.
Oh, maybe not "gay" but he'll definitely be a queer hero in some way. They'll need to make it clear that he's not Super Straight.

I don't get this argument what does it matter the voice actor? I thought the left was the one that cared about how the voice actor looks.
Mostly because if you cover him with all that ash, you wouldnt even know what skin color the actor is.
Assuming they don't show him before he is covered by the ash anyway.
That said...I never cared about whiteface or blackface....provided the actor (with the makeup) looked the look, talked the talk, and walked the walk.
