God the only thing I hate about getting movie news is waiting for the movie.:arrow: :idea: :shifty: Time for some leaks...:evilgrin:

Ok...it pays to read, because i thought he was Thor...:P

If we could ever go back into time, I would have loved to use Vincent D Onofrio from his Adventures in Babysitting cameo, when he played a character that was similar to Thor. He looked spot on, back then anyways.

I did too for a moment...:lol:

As long as it's not Triple H as Thor... glad we can finally put that rumor to rest. :roll:

This oughta be good. The closest thing I remember to live-action Thor was that crappy cameo in the early-80s Return of the Incredible Hulk made for Tv movie.

Thor has been cast!!! Playing the oh mighty god of thunder is George "Captain of a starship for 12 min!" Kirk himself, Chris Hemsworth. He's Australian....

whaaa... no Scandinavian? preposterous!!

And for those who don't know what Chris Hemsworth (who possably has Scandanavian heritage) looks like:

Natalie "Im Luke and Leia's mommy!" Portman has been cast as Jane Foster, Thor's love interest!

More like the love interest of Donald Blake, not Thor. Thor only loves Sif.

Jaimie Alexander has been cast as Sif. Colm Feore has also been cast but in a currently unknown role.

Also, the plot has been released:

Duuuude.... Sir Anthony Hopkins has been cast as Odin! :o

Yea, that's pretty epic.

Also, how did the casting of Jude Law and Robert De Niro not get mentioned in this thread yet?

This movie better be friggin' awesome. Anthony Hopkins, Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Robert De Niro, and Colm Feore in a Kenneth Brannagh directed Thor film is just too good to be true.

I didn't post anything because they're not in it. It was just a rumour that turned out to be false.

The Warrior's Three have been cast!!

Stuart Townsend is Fandral the Dashing
Ray Stevenson is Volstagg the Valiant
Japanese actor Tadanobu Asano.is Hogun the Grim

http://weblogs.variety.com/bfdealmem...his-posse.html

Asians in Asgard?

Right on!

Yeah... Hogun's not a natural born Aesir. He's Mongolian or something.

Oh, ok :P

I'm reading the comics in chronological order, but haven't really gotten much info on him yet :P

He looks like a cross between Chris Pine and Heath Ledger.

Well...then it's a good thing he plays Chris Pine's father in Star Trek :P

Heimdall has been cast!

British actor Idris Elba has been cast as Heimdall. Ironic that a character known as the whitest of the gods would be played by a black man.... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y72...leys/blink.gif

Stringer Bell! :D

According to Empire Online actor Jeremy Renner is in talks to play Hawkeye. He's unsure if he'll cameo in Thor (which seems to be more likely according to him) or in Capt America. But it seems that Hawkeye will definatly be in Avengers.

That'd be awesome, I really dig Renner and Hawkeye is in my top 5 Marvel Characters.

Yea, Renner is pretty perfect for that role.

Wow, this movie has sh*t written all over it. Those casting choices just make me shake my head, except for Hawkeye.

Stan Lee has tweeted (yes...he's on Twitter) that he's been cast in Thor. He didn't say what his role was tho but I love that his twitter name is Smilin Stan Lee :lol:

http://twitter.com/smilinstanlee

Isn't his appearance in any Marvel movie a given at this point though? He's had some pretty decent cameos.

It depends on if he created the character, I think. He wasn't in Blade or MiB, though that would have been awesome.

Yea, he only appears in the movies for the characters he's created. He wasn't in Ghost Rider or Man-Thing, either.

Gotcha, I never saw Ghost Rider. I forgot about Blade, but that makes sense about him creating the character. Thanks

:blanksta:

*facepalm*

Thor IMO HAS The Best Cast in Comic Book Film History

Good thing you said it was your opinion, because otherwise, this is the stupidest statement I've ever read.

I wouldn't say best cast, but definitely one of the better ones. And definitely one of the most talented directors.

What's so stupid about thinking it has the best cast in CBF history?

Because its a ridiculous statement. There are a number of other comic book films with better casts.

You have one actor in the whole mix that kind of makes it worthwhile, the rest are just "alright, thats cool." But no where near the "best."

Hell, WOLVERINE had a better cast. Not saying it was a good film (it wasn't), but it had a more interesting cast.

Seriously? Wolverine has a better cast than this:

Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, Stellan Skarsgard, and Idris Elba?

Not even close.

Wolverine had a better cast then Thor? I whole heartedly disagree.

Now that is how did you put it? A "Ridiculous Statement".

Most of the supporting roles for Wolverine weren't all that great as opposed to Thor where its has a solid supporting cast.

Just because a person is an exceptional actor doesn't mean they are right for a role. It just annoys me when they cast people who look absolutely nothing like the characters they are supposed to be playing.
