Amid over 80 video game movies and shows in development, Prime Video's recent Tomb Raider first-look image and Ryan Hurst's casting as Kratos in the God of War series highlight the surging trend, as a new video discussion debates their potential.
Building on Prime Video's first-look image of Sophie Turner as Lara Croft—detailed in our prior coverage—the video game adaptation wave continues unabated. Turner (Game of Thrones, X-Men) embodies the iconic adventurer, while Sons of Anarchy's Ryan Hurst takes on Kratos in the God of War TV show.
Upcoming releases include films for Super Mario, Resident Evil, Street Fighter, and Mortal Kombat. A recent video segment hosted by Max Scoville and Brian Altano, produced by Nick Maillet, questions the viability of edgier prospects like Duke Nukem, Days Gone, and Comix Zone, while expressing optimism for A24's Overcooked adaptation.
These projects reflect industry momentum as of January 23, 2026, though success remains challenging in translating games to screens effectively.
