Some consider him responsible for taking Star Wars in a direction that feels disrespectful to the movies which came before, while others praise him for trying to break Star Wars out of its mold. Ultimately, it cannot be disputed that Johnson made two critically acclaimed films in the past five years, and another one is on the way. As Glass Onion basks in the premiere of its limited theatrical release today, Johnson revealed the video games that have had his attention in the past few months.

According to a recent interview picked up by IGN, Johnson is excited to finally dig into the new God of War game, and though he hasn’t had a chance to play Ragnarok yet, he outed himself as an avid fan of the Grand Theft Auto games as well. The director of Breaking Bad’s “Ozymandias” spent the past few months replaying Grand Theft Auto 5, and is also nearing the end of his Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild playthrough.

Rian Johnson being a video game enthusiast comes across as a surprise to none, and he is hardly the only person in Hollywood who has a gaming hobby nowadays, as – quite famously – Henry Cavill and Millie Bobbie Brown are huge video game fans as well. In fact, if rumors are to be believed, one of the major reasons why Henry Cavill left The Witcher on Neftlix wasn’t just the Superman deal with Warner Bros. Pictures, but also due to the creative disagreements he had towards a writing team that played fast and loose with the source material of The Witcher.

With Johnson’s interest in God of War Ragnarok, the developers at Santa Monica Studios have a veritable blockbuster on their hands. The appeal for Kratos and his son Atreus has never been wider, as God of War Ragnarok is breaking PlayStation Store records with ease. It has established itself as the defining franchise for PlayStation in the current console generation, and its commercial success should be considered a major victory for Sony. A sequel to both Glass Onion and God of War Ragnarok is on the way, and though Johnson and Santa Monica Studios are both enjoying their rightful accolades today, the future seems just as exciting as well.

God of War Ragnarok is available now for PS4 and PS5.
