"Amazon is reportedly adding Teresa Palmer ( The Fall Guy, Warm Bodies, Hacksaw Ridge) to its pantheon of Norse gods for its God of War TV show adaptation. As first reported by , Palmer will play Sif, Thor's wife and eventual leader of the Aesir, in the live-action adaptation. It may not carry as much weight as the casting of the video game's protagonist that was revealed earlier this week to be Ryan Hurst, but it could hint at the direction the TV show may take."
"While Sif plays a minor role in the God of War Ragnarok game, the early casting confirmation could indicate that the showrunner, Ronald D. Moore, may give the character a more involved role. In God of War Ragnarok, Sif is known as Odin's diplomat before the events of Ragnarok, where she becomes the new leader of the Aesir, one of two tribes of Norse gods."
Teresa Palmer has been cast to play Sif in Amazon's live-action God of War television adaptation. Sif is depicted as Thor's wife and becomes the leader of the Aesir in the Ragnarok storyline. The casting of Palmer follows the prior confirmation of the game's protagonist being cast as Ryan Hurst. The early commitment to Sif could signal an expanded role for the character under showrunner Ronald D. Moore. Several key roles remain uncast, including Atreus, Thor, and Odin, while the series has already secured at least two seasons.
