James Wan (born 26 February 1977) is an Australian filmmaker. He has primarily worked in the horror genre as the co-creator of the Saw and Insidious franchises and the creator of The Conjuring Universe. The lattermost is the highest-grossing horror franchise at over $2 billion. Wan is also the founder of the film and television production company Atomic Monster. Beginning his career with the Saw franchise, Wan made his feature directorial debut with his first film in 2004. The franchise became commercially successful and grossed more than $1 billion globally. Following a period of setbacks, Wan found new success with the Insidious series, in which he directed the first film in 2010 and its 2013 sequel. The same year as the second Insidious, Wan directed the first Conjuring film to critical and commercial success. He served as the director of the second installment in 2016 and produced subsequent films in the franchise. Outside of horror, Wan directed Furious 7 (2015), the seventh installment of the Fast & Furious franchise, and the DC Extended Universe superhero films Aquaman (2018) and its sequel Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023). Both Furious 7 and Aquaman grossed over $1 billion, making Wan the eighth director with two films to reach the milestone. He is the 16th highest-grossing director of all time as of 2021, with his films having grossed over $3.7 billion worldwide.

This is the story of Kratos. The once prominent Spartan general, turned servant to the Greek God of War, Ares. After a time of being the mechanism of death and destruction for Ares. In blind rage he would pillage a small village, unaware of his slaying of his young wife and Daughter. He now resents, and swears vengeance upon Ares, but this will lead him on a path of vengeance that goes straight to the top of Olympus. This would be the first in a trilogy, to follow the God of War game franchise. However, to bring something completely new and different, I am adding one of the great screen writers to alter but not deviate from the core story. I am also adding my personal choice as Director, although I could definitely see other capable directors heading this franchise.
