I know it's predictible, but Kevin Sorbo does have the look of Thor.

I think a guy like wrestler Triple H could play him. I know wrestlers can't act that much but somebody who looks like him?

what are his powers again? or whats he's deal?
i look forward to some hammer smashing.

all these movies are so far away though....lame

I cant wait for this!

He has the power of the Norse god of thunder, i.e. Superhuman strength, durability, and able to command lightning.

I dunno, he wasn't that great in X-men, I don't think he even had any lines, except for maybe a couple.

Vladimir would have made an awesome Thor had they filmed it around the same time he was in The 13th Warrior... but the last time I saw him, he was starting to show his age... so I'm not sure about him playing Thor now...

What about Marcus Schenkenberg?



I don't think I've seen any of the movies he's been in, but he does have the look...

Sounds more fantasy than science fiction. Dunno how this is going to tie into the rest of the Marvel universe that's being developed...hope they either abstain from tying this one in, or find a way to do so without it feeling, well, goofy. Because my goofometer is off the charts on this one right now.

Well, I admit I have the same thoughts that Hulk and Iron man are more science fiction oriented, and then adding in some mythological element may seem out of place. Although, we are talking about a world where a a rich playboy can be a one man army, and a nerdy scientist transforms into a titanic brute.

Agreed, if they go with the more recent "Ultimate" Thor (where he's younger and a little more Bohemian). But I'm not sure his age would hurt him if they opted for the traditional, "having seen many moons" Thor.

More than anything, he's a fairly capable actor (for this anyway), and he's got a very hallowed presence.

Yeah, definitely! He looks quite a bit like Ultimate Thor.

Yeah, but to play Devil's advocate for a moment, Thor is, and always has been, an essential part of The Avengers (and therefore, Marvel lore). I'm not sure he deserved his own film, but if Marvel can milk it, it's going to be milked. Still... I, like Yoda, am concerned about the direction this film will take. We're not talking about a Marvel original; this is essentially Norse mythology. Unless they choose to capture a more "Ultimate" Thor, who is still a god, but much more hip and eco-friendly, and something of a cult celebrity. I'm guessing we'll see the latter.

The "Scarecrow", Cillian Murphy is said to be playing Loki. Kate Beckinsale is going to play Lady Sif.

oh, HELL no

Brad Pitt, I seriously can't see him as Thor. Not only does he not have the build, but his persona doesn't strike me as a deity.

Yes complete flat out rumor. I wouldn't waste my breathe even mentioning the thought.

I think Kevin Sorbo will get the role for Thor.
