Australian actress Teresa Palmer is entering another busy chapter of her career in 2026. Known for films including Warm Bodies, Hacksaw Ridge and Lights Out, Palmer has built a career that moves comfortably between Hollywood films, television and independent Australian productions.
This year, she has added one of her most recognizable roles yet to her résumé. Palmer has joined Amazon Prime Video’s live-action God of War adaptation as Sif, while also appearing in the Australian romantic comedy Addition and completing work on the action thriller Subversion.
Away from acting, she continues to balance her entertainment career with motherhood, marriage and her wellness business.
New Role
Palmer’s biggest 2026 project is undoubtedly God of War.
She has been cast as Sif, a character from the mythology of the video game franchise, in Amazon Prime Video’s live-action adaptation. Production is taking place in Vancouver, Canada, with Palmer working alongside actor Dave Bautista.
The project is based on the hugely popular PlayStation franchise, which draws heavily on Norse mythology in its more recent games.
For Palmer, the role represents another move into major fantasy and genre productions. She previously attracted a substantial international audience through the supernatural television drama A Discovery of Witches.
Sif Explained
In the God of War universe, Sif is associated with Thor and the wider group of gods central to the Norse mythology storyline.
The casting has generated interest because Palmer is taking on a character familiar to millions of video-game fans.
Details about the television adaptation’s storyline remain limited, but the production is one of Amazon’s major video-game adaptations.
Palmer’s involvement gives the Australian actress an opportunity to enter another established entertainment universe while bringing her own interpretation to a character drawn from Norse mythology.
Addition
Before God of War, Palmer also appeared in the Australian romantic comedy Addition.
She plays Grace, a highly intelligent mathematician whose life is affected by obsessive-compulsive disorder and a severe counting compulsion.
The role is considerably different from the fantasy and action projects associated with some of Palmer’s earlier work.
Addition allowed her to explore a character whose challenges are deeply personal while keeping the story within a romantic-comedy framework.
The film also reflects Palmer’s continuing connection to Australia’s film industry, even as she works extensively on international productions.
Subversion
Palmer has also completed filming on Subversion, an action thriller featuring Chris Hemsworth.
The project adds another major action credit to her growing filmography.
Working opposite Hemsworth also places Palmer in another large-scale production following her work in projects such as Hacksaw Ridge.
With God of War, Addition and Subversion all connected to this stage of her career, 2026 represents a particularly varied period for the actress.
Her Breakthrough
Palmer became internationally recognizable through a series of prominent film roles.
She appeared in the zombie romantic comedy Warm Bodies, where she played Julie Grigio opposite Nicholas Hoult.
She later starred in the horror film Lights Out, further establishing herself within the genre.
One of her most acclaimed performances came in Hacksaw Ridge, Mel Gibson’s 2016 war drama based on the story of conscientious objector and medic Desmond Doss.
Her television career expanded further with A Discovery of Witches, in which she played Diana Bishop, a historian and witch whose life becomes intertwined with a centuries-old supernatural conflict.
Married Life
Away from the screen, Palmer has been married to American actor and filmmaker Mark Webber since December 2013.
The couple have built a large family together and have frequently spoken about their approach to parenting and family life.
Their relationship has remained an important part of Palmer’s life alongside her increasingly demanding career.
Five Children
Palmer and Webber share five children.
Their children are Bodhi Rain, Forest Sage, Poet Lake, Prairie Moon and Lotus Moon.
Their youngest daughter, Lotus Moon, was born in September 2025.
Palmer is also stepmother to Isaac Love, Webber’s son from an earlier relationship.
The family’s unusual and nature-inspired names have occasionally attracted public attention, but Palmer and Webber have generally maintained a strong emphasis on family and their children’s privacy.
Balancing Work
Having five children while maintaining an international acting career presents an obvious challenge.
Palmer has continued working across Australia, Canada and the United States while raising her family.
Her 2026 schedule illustrates that balance. Production on God of War has taken her to Vancouver, while Addition keeps her connected to Australian cinema.
Rather than limiting herself to one type of role, she continues moving between different genres and production scales.
Lovewell
Palmer’s interests also extend beyond entertainment.
She is a co-founder of Lovewell, a plant-based nutritional wellness company.
The brand focuses on nutritional products including supplements, protein powders and blends designed with children and families in mind.
The business gives Palmer another creative outlet outside acting and connects with her interest in wellness and family nutrition.
A Varied Career
Palmer’s career has never been restricted to one genre.
She has appeared in horror movies, romantic films, historical dramas, fantasy television and action productions.
Her latest projects continue that pattern.
Sif in God of War puts her in a major fantasy franchise, Addition showcases a more intimate Australian production, and Subversion takes her back toward action.
That variety has helped Palmer remain a recognizable presence in both Australian and international entertainment.
What’s Next
The next major milestone is her appearance as Sif in Amazon Prime Video’s God of War series.
The adaptation has considerable expectations surrounding it because of the popularity of the original games. Palmer’s casting adds another established performer to a production that is already attracting significant attention.
At the same time, her completed work on Addition and Subversion ensures audiences have more than one project to watch for.
Teresa Palmer’s 2026 career is defined by variety. She is currently associated with Amazon Prime Video’s God of War adaptation, where she plays Sif, while her recent work includes the Australian romantic comedy Addition and the action thriller Subversion with Chris Hemsworth.
Beyond acting, Palmer is married to Mark Webber and is raising five children with him, while also serving as a stepmother to Webber’s eldest son.
She is also building her wellness interests through Lovewell, a plant-based nutritional brand.
