The Loki Thread

[Chewy]

I think Loki is too big a topic/character to have discussion about him limited to the other various Thor threads (and, hey, Sinestro got a thread :oldrazz:).

(Spoilers are from the Protosevich draft)
Anyway, I really liked how Loki was handled in the Protosevich draft. He was very much the trickster we know & love to hate, doing nothing overly complicated yet thoroughly ****ing up Thor's life. However, his descent into villainy felt a little sudden - one minute he was Thor's brother & friend, the next he's planning to overthrow the people who raised him as their son because Odin killed his true father, Ymir, years ago. I hope this has been addressed and his descent has been fleshed out a little bit in newer drafts.

I also hope his father is restored to Laufey. I have no idea why they made Ymir his father :huh:

I LOVED that he had his classic costume for the final showdown and I also liked his relationship (if you'd even call it that) with Karnilla.
Anyway - Jude Law, anyone? :woot:

[marcvader]

I personally like Bettany for the role of Loki. His face to me seems to scream untrustworthy skeamer. I want whoever plays the role to be much less attractive than pretty boy Thor. Although i wouldn't pitch a fit if they were to cast Law.

[Chewy]

But one of the things that makes Loki who he is is that he is supposed to SEEM trustworthy, even when we know he is absolutely not to be trusted.

[bubbadoom]

Luke Goss would make a good Loki...

[marcvader]

I like the idea that he has always looked different than everyone and had to rely on his charm and verbal skills his whole life to fit in among the Aesir.

[cerealkiller182]

i always kind of envisioned Loki kinda like the badguy in The Cell. Every scene he has a different really theatrical costume which would coincide with the shapeshifting powers trickster gods tend to have. And for the climax be in the traditional yellow horns and green

[broblacksteel]

i think in the old script he does get the green and yellow classic outfit around the 3rd act, dont quite remember what he wore during the 1/2nd act.

Loki is JUST as important as to who is cast as thor, so i am sure it will be a top notch actor as well... I wonder is brian blessed a shoe in for odin the way patrick stewart just had to be professor x.

[Keyser Soze]

What about Damian Lewis for Loki?

I know I've suggested him for Sinestro before, but I think he'd be a better fit for Loki.

[Chewy]

^ He could work. I also think guys like Guy Pearce and Ewan McGregor would do the role justice.

Jude Law's my ideal choice, though.

I wonder is brian blessed a shoe in for odin the way patrick stewart just had to be professor x.
Let's hope so.

[OsGom]

That's a great concept.

I absolutely agree. Many times it is the villain that makes a hero movie great.

I think Branagh is likely to cast himself as Loki. I think he is a good fit for the role.

[Chewy]

^ Branagh is too chubby to be Loki.

i always kind of envisioned Loki kinda like the badguy in The Cell. Every scene he has a different really theatrical costume which would coincide with the shapeshifting powers trickster gods tend to have. And for the climax be in the traditional yellow horns and green
This idea reminds me of Jim Carrey in Batman Forever :(

[Keyser Soze]

When they say "green and yellow classic outfit", I hope it's less like this...

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/JokerSoze/Loki12.gif

...and more like his current costume (when he's not pretending to be a pretty lady):

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/JokerSoze/Loki6.jpg

I think the costume redesign (much like Olivier Coipel's redesign of Thor, which I also want the movie look to be based on) is an improvement on the original, which looks more like a comic-book supervillain costume than something a Norse God would wear.

[Marz69]

I have to go with Mistress Kizuna's brilliant choice of James Callis (Baltar - Battlestar Galactica). He truly is a great actor and would be amazing in the role. His character is such a complex person - a egotistical genius who verges on madness searching for redemption and a plethora of other emotions.


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v108/CKOCOSG2/bgpic_06.jpg

http://i29.tinypic.com/2dl3b60.jpg

If not him, then Joaquin Pheonix.:oldrazz:

Keyser Soze I like the second pic.

[Keyser Soze]

Yeah, I definitely think second pic is the way to go.

As for Joaquin Phoenix, he's a good actor, but he recently retired from acting to pursue a career in music. We'll see how long that lasts.

[red hood 4]

how about Elijah Wood? He looks weak, feeble and cunning

[broblacksteel]

Elijah wood is actually an interesting suggestion...but since i think thor will have a lord of the rings feeling to it (fantasy/epic) maybe that is why it's not a good choice for E.W.

[Hypestyle]

hopefully someone who doesn't mind the fantasy setting.. and is willing to give an oscar-caliber performance..

[Changeling]

Yeah...

[red hood 4]

The real question is how would Thor battle Loki in a epic fight? Destroyer armour perhaps? What are your thoughts?

[broblacksteel]

actually i think loki would have some creature possibly a frost giant do his battling for him... loki more than likely would escape instead of being involved in a physical battle.. (which could be a set up for loki to be a bad guy in the avengers possibly controlling the hulk) the destroyer armor is a cool idea though...

[cerealkiller182]

This idea reminds me of Jim Carrey in Batman Forever :(

but makes more sense for a trickster god than a regular guy on an ego trip

[red hood 4]

Does anyone think loki should have love interest?

[red hood 4]

(which could be a set up for loki to be a bad guy in the avengers possibly controlling the hulk) the destroyer armor is a cool idea though...


I like that idea

[broblacksteel]

it might actually happen.... the avengers will need thor to help capture the hulk... but will it be because the hulk is simply on a rampage or will it be because loki is controlling the hulk or thor thinks a green troll has escaped through a portal from asgard? (all of them would work)

[Chewy]

Does anyone think loki should have love interest?
Loki HAD a love interest in the Protosevich script - Karnilla. He knocked her up and the final scene in the script was a preggers Karnilla and Loki hiding out in a cave on Earth.

[broblacksteel]

yep, wonder if that is still there with the blake add on? maybe loki escaped to midgard/earth thus another reason Blake/thor needs to protect earth until loki exposes himself again... hmmm...

[Keyser Soze]

Loki HAD a love interest in the Protosevich script - Karnilla. He knocked her up and the final scene in the script was a preggers Karnilla and Loki hiding out in a cave on Earth.

Damn, when I read that spoiler, I didn't think it would be THAT big a spoiler. :csad:

[Chewy]

Sorry. Maybe I should have made it a spoiler within a spoiler or something.

[Keyser Soze]

Sorry. Maybe I should have made it a spoiler within a spoiler or something.

No, it's my own fault. You spoiler-marked it, fair and square. My own curiosity was my downfall.

In the original post at the start of the thread, I agonised over whether or not to read the spoiler. I eventually gave in and read it, only to find nothing much was really spoiled. And so I let my guard down, and casually clicked on your second spoiler, and... ouch. :csad:

Oh well, all it tells me is that Loki lives at the end. And that's good news to me. The hows and whys remain a secret, so no harm done.

[red hood 4]

Loki HAD a love interest in the Protosevich script - Karnilla. He knocked her up and the final scene in the script was a preggers Karnilla and Loki hiding out in a cave on Earth.


Has anyone got a copy or know where I can find it?

Sam Rockwell.

[Michellemabelle]

I can see David Tennant as Loki.

[broblacksteel]

with all of these cool suggestions.... maybe it's time LOBO starts a Loki poll? Once Thor is announced in the next 2mths, Loki will probably only be a few weeks behind.... There were at least 3 good suggestions on here....

[jab1118]

How would you do his costume? classic, ULTIMATE OR A FUSION OF BOTH?

I really liked the idea that someone posted before of him having a different look every time you see him and then in the final battle have his classic green and gold costume

[marcvader]

How about the guy that was Dr. Who about three Drs ago and is now playing Destro in GIJoe. Forget his name.

[Keyser Soze]

How about the guy that was Dr. Who about three Drs ago and is now playing Destro in GIJoe. Forget his name.

Christopher Eccleston. And he was only 1 Doctor ago, the Doctor before David Tennant, the current one. :cwink:

[marcvader]

Thought Tennant was done and our fine Dr was recast with someone much younger than usual

[The Question]

Loki as Ymir's son? Uhg....not so sure about that as his sole motivation. Loki's decent into true villainy took up his entire life, and was caused by multiple factors, not just one. The deaths of his parents, his being an outsider in all worlds, and ultimately Odin and crew banishing his children and turning him into a true social pariah. Boiling it down to "YOU KILLED MAH DADDY WAH!!!!" just cheapens a character with the potential to be a thoroughly complex representation into the nature of corruption and evil.

[Chewy]

^ Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I'm hoping that some rewrites and/or Branagh's influence have led to his origin being fleshed out.

[broblacksteel]

very powerful... wow... good point question....

[red hood 4]

Shall I post my ideas for a last battle between Loki and Thor?

[Keyser Soze]

Shall I post my ideas for a last battle between Loki and Thor?

Sure, I'd be interested to read it. :yay:

[red hood 4]

THOR runs at full pelt into a large silver chamber that is lit wih an odd gold hue, vast in size and with a huge pit in heart of the room. Loki srands on a small platform pressing switches, he is sweating, a truly insane smirk plays around the corners of his mouth, gloating over his imminent triumph he fails to see Thor approaching.

Thor readies his hammer and strikes the Dark God in the back with a blast of ethereal energy. “SHUT IT DOWN" , he commands! Loki turns on the spot, undaunted by the magical assault and prepares to speak

“Brother! .unexpected but I am glad you’re here, you should be able to witness the coming of Ragnarok! Once Joungandor rises all will be consumed by fire and ash.

[sabetoonth]

were is this draft? could a link be posted? i think who ever is cast as loki shouldd look very different than the rest of the aesir

[gwynplaine]

Michael Shannon from Revolutionary Road, I wish I had the skills to manip him as Loki.

[red hood 4]

If he wasnt cast as SpiderMan would you have had Tobey Maguire? I know it would never happen.

[MilkmanDan]

Not really. Loki is a lanky, creepy/sleazy guy with an air of aristocratic arrogance. I have trouble imagining Toby portraying those qualities.

I think Jude Law might be the best bet, because he could bring the movie some much needed star-power. However, as far as less famous actors go, I wouldn't mind seeing Micheal Fassbender give it a try.

http://www.actucine.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/ib-michael-fassbender.jpg

[Keyser Soze]

Michael Fassbender is a NICE choice. I just recommended him for Hal Jordan over in the Green Lantern thread, but now that you mention it, I definitely see his features being a good match for Loki too.

[Metamorpho1977]

Jason Isaacs is Loki

[WillardNation]

no, Jason Isaacs is Namor.

[Keyser Soze]

And I thought Jason Isaacs was Sinestro.

He's pulling a Kaufman. I have no doubt of this.

[ZeroCorpse]

I'm going to beat a dead horse here...

Whoever gets cast as Loki should have a Scandinavian accent, not a British one. In fact, ALL Asgardians should sound- well- NORSE, since they are the Norse pantheon.

If we cast a movie about Japanese characters, we don't have them all speaking British-accented English. If we cast a movie about Russian characters, we don't make them do a British accent. So why is that whenever the Marvel Asgardian characters are portrayed on film, in animation, or in video games, they're portrayed with a British accent? What the hell is that about?

They're Nordic. They should SOUND Nordic. Thor has more in common with the Swedish Chef than King Arthur, and Loki would be better voiced by Rutger Hauer than by Hugo Weaving.

Nobody listens to me though-- They all picture Thor and company speaking in an English accent, because apparently, even though they're all REALLY speaking Proto-Norse (an ancient Scandinavian dialect), they're understood by English speakers due to some Asgardian magic (or something)... But why would an American hear an English accent? Why wouldn't it be an American accent if it's fully translated by magic? And if there IS an accent, why wouldn't it be Norse instead of English?!?!

This oversight frustrates me.

[Keyser Soze]

Thor is hardly the only character of foreign descent to be portrayed speaking in an English accent. Simply look at any Shakespeare adaptation, stories set all over Europe, yet the characters almost always talk in English accents. English accents have long been a cinematic shorthand through a whole range of historical epics and fantasies. It's an all-purpose accent that seems to fit into a whole range of contexts.

[jab1118]

He's pulling a Kaufman. I have no doubt of this.

I was kind of thinking the same thing regardless its not great for your career. Nobody is going to cast an actor if he is crazy or pretending to be a crazy person

[Marz69]

He's pulling a Kaufman. I have no doubt of this.
I think it's clever. I bet more people watch the movie than had he been sane. :cwink:

[MilkmanDan]

English accents have long been a cinematic shorthand through a whole range of historical epics and fantasies. It's an all-purpose accent that seems to fit into a whole range of contexts.I agree. British accents often sound vaguely old-fashioned and therefore suit those kind of movies better than accents from the "New World". Using actors with Nordic accents would be a bit more problematic. An all Scandinavian cast might not be able to sell a big American summer-blockbuster* and the actors would have to be fluent enough to express themselves naturally in english. That is also a problem is you try to have American/British actors use a Nordic accent, they might not sound as convincing and impressive as they would with their own natural accent. And I think that more important than historically accurate accent (whatever that is in this case) is for the actors to be able to give gravitas to that almost poetic way of speaking that Asgardians are often portrayed having. In that sense a Thor-actor has indeed more in common with someone playing King Arthur than Swedish Chef.

*ZeroCorpse even used Rutger Hauer as an example despite the fact that he's not Northern European. I guess Scandinavia doesn't really have a lot of internationally known movie stars.

[arivin923]

That's pretty cool. I would lose the glowing orbs however, but other than that, I think it would work well.

[Keyser Soze]

I thought I'd rescue The Loki Thread from Page 2 with another casting suggestion.

What about Tom Hardy?

The chameleon-like actor has made a name for himself with a series of show-stealing supporting turns in such British TV shows as Cape Wrath and Oliver Twist (playing a very scary Bill Sikes), and has had roles in films such as Star Trek: Nemesis (where he played the baddie), Layer Cake and RockNRolla. Finally he's earned himself a starring role in the upcoming Bronson, in a dynamite performance which is sure to elevate his profile.

I'll say he has a good look for Loki, though he changes his look so drastically from role to role that I'm not even sure I can say with confidence what the hell he ACTUALLY looks like. But more than anything it's his voice which I think is PERFECT for Loki. With no disrespect against the guy intended, it's one of the slimiest, most reptilian voices I've ever heard.

[Chewy]

Assuming we end up with a Thor in his mid-to-late 20's, who are some potential Lokis in that age range?

Most everyone I like for the part (Jude Law, John Ryhs-Myers, etc) are in their early 30's

[Keyser Soze]

I think that, regardless of what the casting call says, both Thor and Loki should be actors in their 30s. How are you going to have an ensemble to match the stellar casts for Iron Man and Incredible Hulk (I'd have bought a ticket on the strength of those casts alone, regardless of what the movie was), with a cast full of kids?

[Chewy]

I agree, but based on the casting call I'm not sure the filmmakers necessarily do.

In an ideal world we'd get something along the lines of Skarsgård/Thor, Blessed/Odin, Law/Loki.

[Keyser Soze]

Here's my desired castlist, as it currently stands:

Thor - Alexander Skarsgard
Loki - Tom Hardy
Sif - Evangeline Lilly
Odin - Stellan Skarsgard
Balder - Dominic Cooper
Heimdall - (still thinking on this one)
Volstagg - Kenneth Branagh
Hogun - Tony Leung
Fandral - Rupert Penry-Jones

[FaT_tONle]

Bumping the thread for the "Harnett for Loki" rumor:

But, we also got some other information about the villain in the story, Thor's brother Loki.

Loki isn't a very nice guy. He's quite treachorous actually and fancies himself the God of Mischief. He is repeatedly trying to get rid of Thor and seize the throne of Asgard for himself. One thing led to another and he ended up being the God of Evil. What will his role in Marvel's live action adaptation? Probably something similiar, we know he's the main baddie.

Who does Brannagh want to bring this evil character to life? Try Josh Hartnett. IESB sources say Hartnett has met with Brannagh as well and he is currently on a very short list to play the villain in the film.

Word is Josh and his camp are really interested because he has never played a villain before and after Heath Ledger's Oscar win for the latest comic book villain, Hartnett is intrigued by the character.

Now, for those of you who will copy and paste this article faster than a barefoot jackrabbit on a hot greasy griddle in the middle of August, pay attention to this part - we aren't saying he's been cast, but he's on a very short list for the role of Thor's brother Loki. Got it? Short list.

Hartnett standing at 6 foot 3 inches would be a great adversary to Alex's 6 foot 4 inch frame.

Could this be another Heath Ledger's Joker in the making? Are actors taking the superhero films more serious because of Ledger's Oscar win?

I know that there are a lot of Hartnett haters out there, but I actually kind of like the idea of Hartnett as Loki

[Keyser Soze]

I'm sure the haters will come if Hartnett is confirmed as Loki, but thus far I'm pleasantly surprised by how open people have been to the idea.

[FaT_tONle]

I think it is all about matching/balancing your talent... Loki/Thor should be similar in the age range where one guy doesn't overshadow the other... if it is Skars/Law then it does not work. If it is Law/Pitt then it works... that's why Hartnett works.

[BigSams50]

I think Hartnett will do a fine job as Loki should he get the role

[WillardNation]

I'm not against it

[Still A ThorFan]

I'm buying this. JH is tall, well built, and is younger than Skaars, after all in the movie Loki is younger than Thor.

The script also described Loki as darkly handsome and JH is not a bad actor.

[Antonello Blueberry]

My vote is still for Jonthan Rhys Meyers.
Fassbender is a great actor, but I would like him as Balder.
Hartnett? I'd like him more as a hero than as a villain.

[R_Hythlodeus]

let´s wait and see. I´m not a big fan of Hartnett (anyone who played in Pearl Harbor should be forbidden to reappear on screen forever) but maybe this could work. I would have preferred someone with the range or acting skills of Tim Roth or Jeff Bridges.

[BETArayBill]

he made up for pearl harbor with black hawk down in my book but on to hartnett i think he could be a good loki hes got the look and the acting chops

[chamber-music]

no, Jason Isaacs is Namor.
Jason Issacs is Doctor Strange!

I saw a little of Elektra on Tv the other day and didn't even notice he was in the movie. I didn't remember him being in it the first time I saw the film. His American accent was good IMO, Even his southern American accent in Black Hawk Down was good and southern accents are the ones most british actors tend to suck at doing.
Thor is hardly the only character of foreign descent to be portrayed speaking in an English accent. Simply look at any Shakespeare adaptation, stories set all over Europe, yet the characters almost always talk in English accents. English accents have long been a cinematic shorthand through a whole range of historical epics and fantasies. It's an all-purpose accent that seems to fit into a whole range of contexts.
Its funny you guys mentioned the accent thing because Kenneth Branagh starred and produced Wallander where he played the swedish detective. Him and most of the people in the show was british and kept their own accents but it was filmed in sweden. The characters even still had their swedish names from the books.
My vote is still for Jonthan Rhys Meyers.
Fassbender is a great actor, but I would like him as Balder.
Hartnett? I'd like him more as a hero than as a villain.
Jonthan Rhys Meyers would make an awesome Loki. He was great as the machavalian Steerpike in ghormanghast and as the creepy cult leader in Octane.

Fassbender would be awsome too another Irish man and good up and coming actor his Bobby Sands in Hunger is incredible.

[marcvader]

Not to sure what to think about the Hartnett rumors and not to keen on his ability to portray Loki the way I imagined him. The voice actor from the Hulk Vs. Thor movie is the way I've always imagined him to sound like and Josh seems real low key. Definately outside the box here.

[THOR]

Jason Issacs would be a great choice for Loki, unlike Hartnett. Also Vincent Cassel is another great choice for Loki:

http://starophileimages.free.fr/wallpapers/vincent_cassel_002.jpg

[TheVileOne]

Hartnett I don't think he can capture Loki and I hope they don't pick him.

[jab1118]

I dont think he can capture a human being he has no range and is the most wooden actor out there he talks in that same monotone voice through every movie

[kedrell]

I know that there are a lot of Hartnett haters out there, but I actually kind of like the idea of Hartnett as Loki

As long as Brannagh can get a good performance out of him, then I'm ok with it. I'm in no way a Harnett fan but he seems to be one of those actors who's only as good as the guy directing him. So hope exists. Still wanted Bettany for the role, though.

[Blackman]

If Hartnett is Loki there will be repercussions

[Keyser Soze]

If Hartnett is Loki there will be repercussions

I dunno. The reaction thus far hasn't been as angry as I might have expected. Maybe after Heath Ledger, more people are willing to give these guys the benefit of the doubt?

[Chewy]

^ Look at the guy's sig. He just wants Hartnett for Hal :oldrazz:

[Blackman]

^^exactly so if Marvel snatches him up it'll suck

[TheVileOne]

I feel that Hartnett's generally failed at becoming a leading man and more legitimate performer for a reason.

[WeaponXProject]

I'm all for Vincent Cassel as Loki eventhough he is also one of my Riddler picks. He rocked in Eastern Promises!

[Still A ThorFan]

Some of you forget or just aren't aware that Thor and Loki are to be pretty young in this film, as in their 20's (If they were human) so the obvious choices for Loki are out.

I think Skaars and Hartnett match up nicely.

[FaT_tONle]

This pair is sort of giving me that Troy vibe... Bana vs Pitt. I think it's important you get a guy that is around the same age. Any other relative "big names" that are late twenties/early thirties? Gyllenhaal doesn't fit the role... Rhys Meyers isn't imposing enough... I just think you need to find that niche. Maybe Loki will be it for JH.

[marcvader]

This casting rumor of Hartnett for Loki seems wrong at face value but maybe Branagh sees something in him he can work with.

[WillardNation]

Jason Issacs is Doctor Strange!

sorry, I was actually thinking of Luke Goss. Got them mixed up.

I'd be ok with Vincent Cassel for Loki. I don't know, I'm fine with either really.

[irapogi]

i think we're gona be suprised by hartnett. supposedly his role in O was one of the things that help put him on brannagh's mind. I haven't seen the movie, but he looks pretty decent in the trailer. im not all out supporting him for the role, but i'm definetely open to being suprised. I trust brannagh, that's all i can say

[THOR]

Loki always looks older than Thor in the comics, so I have no problem with Vincent Cassel playing the role at age 42. He is after all a Giant, and not a true God like Thor. Vincent's wife would be the perfect Hela as well::wow:

Harnett is a left field choice, to be sure. I don't know maybe he'll be good. I would say just trust Branagh but cast Keanu Reeves in a Shakespeare movie, lol. But he also cast Denzel Washington in that same Shakespeare film, which some people thought (for maybe the wrong reasons) was an outside the box choice but he was very fitting in that role.

I know that Harnett would not be my first choice, but he is capable of solid work.

Yeah, I've never been impressed with Hartnett in anything. He always has a dead-eyed expression on his face and his voice sounds sort of husky, like he's smoking weed all the time.

[Chewy]

Corp, have you seen "O"?

[TheCorpulent1]

Nope. Although, now that I know he plays the Iago role, I'm curious.

[Chewy]

Yeah, I haven't seen it either. I've got a friend who has a copy and I'm probably going to watch it tomorrow, since it's reportedly the movie that convinced Branagh to get in touch with him for the role.

[TheCorpulent1]

I have a friend who has it, too. His name is Netflix.

[FVD]

I wouldn't really complain about Hartnett getting the role. If Branagh can get the character performance out of him why the frak not?

Now back in the day even Brad Dourif could've made a great Loki. Loved him as Grima Wormtongue too.

Here's someone I doubt anybody here has suggested: James Haven Voight

http://eur.i1.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com/xp/premiere_photo/20050906/04/3395483099.jpg

Gaspard Ulliel from Hannibal Rising would be another non big name who people should think about (He's 24 but they could age him up a bit by asking to grow some facial hair):

Dourif's sort of creepy in a different way from what I'd want for Loki.

[marcvader]

I don't see Loki looking creepy more like someone that is arrogant, bored, and seems bitter while looking at everyone with disdain.

[TheCorpulent1]

I think he'd have very angular features and a constant sneer. But other than that, I don't think he needs to look ugly or disfigured or anything.

[Kabuki_Jo]

Amazing how Adrien Brodi has the looks of some comic book villains like the Joker and Loki and has the acting skills to do a great job.

I'd love to see him cast as Loki

[TheCorpulent1]

He'd be a pretty solid Loki. :up:

[allfilms]

depending on how old they want him to be id say willem dafoe for an older version but younger i have no clue..really hate hartnet as an actor. he doesnt have much range, hes always very bland and boring loki is supposed to be an obnoxious prick, kinda like monarch from venture bros

[TheCorpulent1]

I think Adrien Brody is my new favorite for a younger Loki...

[Antonello Blueberry]

I think Adrien Brody is my new favorite for a younger Loki...
Younger? He's 35. Younger than me, for sure.

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, I don't think Loki needs to look as young as Thor anyway. 35 is still fairly young and Brody has the angular features I think of when I think of Loki.

[Balthus Dire]

Vincent Cassel for Loki!

[TheCorpulent1]

He could be pretty good, too. I liked him in Eastern Promises.

[Balthus Dire]

We need to get some manips up in this thread.

[marcvader]

Or how about Balthus from Battlestar Galactica.

[TheCorpulent1]

Baltar, you mean. ;)

[marcvader]

That's right. It's Balthus Dire's fault I tell ya.:woot:

[Changeling]

So how do you guys feel about Josh Hartnett? I kinda like it.

[Changeling]

Oops, you guys were already talking about that lol

[TheCorpulent1]

So how do you guys feel about Josh Hartnett? I kinda like it.
I could not like it less if I tried.

[marcvader]

Not a fan of Hartnett. I hope he pulls something out of left field to make Loki interesting cause as far as I've seen so far he's one dull dude.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I'm sure everyone's going to compare him to Heath Ledger's surprisingly amazing performance as the Joker, but the difference is that Ledger had hints of being a charismatic and skilled actor well before The Dark Knight. Hartnett has a bunch of wooden performances in teen movies and thrillers.

[Lobo]

So how do you guys feel about Josh Hartnett? I kinda like it.

I want to know who else is up for it, right now, I'm just kinda meh about him. If he gets cast, though, I'll support him and hope Branagh can bring out a great performance.

[Balthus Dire]

In my eyes, Josh Hartnett is the late 90's version of Channing Tatum. I'd prefer someone who can, you know, act. :o

[louiebling$]

He is not a bad actor?:huh:

[Katsuro]

I've been a fan of Hartnett ever since Lucky Number Slevin. Damn good movie. 30 Days of Night was also pretty good.

[Canis Sapiens]

I want to know who else is up for it, right now, I'm just kinda meh about him. If he gets cast, though, I'll support him and hope Branagh can bring out a great performance.

What he said.

[AndThePickles]

So how do you guys feel about Josh Hartnett? I kinda like it.

I like him, but I think he's a horrible choice for Loki.

[Iceburgeruk]

I like him, but I think he's a horrible choice for Loki.

Not really. Everyone thinks that Loki should be ugly yet charming but it just don`t work. Watch LOTR with Grima Wormtongue`s scenes. It doesn`t matter how he words his sentances or tries to coerce others, he always looks untrustworthy and nearly every character who isn`t uner a spell doesn`t trust him as far as they can throw him.

Loki in the comics was never protrayed as looking weird and odd. He always just looked like allt he toher asgardians just with a twinkle of evil and a sinsiter grin. Josh Harnett makes sense, he has to look like thor would be lulled into trusting him at points.

I`m not sure how to judge Josh Harnett`s acting abilities but it doesn`t really matter. With Brannagh directing Paris Hilton could be made to act on the same level as an oscar winner.

[marcvader]

I think we have a large enough sample size to see that his acting has been lackluster at best. Now, are all his roles coincidentally written to be dull, doubt it. Branagh is being asked to help bring out Josh's best performance to date, all I can say is we'll see.

[Iceburgeruk]

Well if anyone can do it. Brannagh can.

[marcvader]

I like Branagh directing this movie bit I think he's being given way too much credit.

Where did I say that Loki should be ugly? All I said is I think Hartnett would be a terrible choice. :huh: That's an awfully long argument for a short personal opinion.

I don't think he has the right look for it, and it has nothing to do with level of attractiveness. He's a good actor, but I'd rather see someone else in the role. I do think that Loki should be fairly good looking, and not with that puppy-dog look that Harnett has.

[AndThePickles]

Yeah, I haven't seen it either. I've got a friend who has a copy and I'm probably going to watch it tomorrow, since it's reportedly the movie that convinced Branagh to get in touch with him for the role.

I've seen it. He was ok in it, from what I remember. I've seen and liked quite a few of his films, but as Corp mentioned, he does tend to have a similar expression and vocal tone in all of them. I think that Loki needs to be very expressive. Oh well, if he is for sure ended up being cast, then we'll just have to wait and see!

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm not sure where people are getting the idea that Loki should be ugly from. Loki's been ugly all of one time in the comics, in Robert Rodi and Esad Ribic's Loki mini-series. Pretty much everyone else has drawn him as merely a skinny Asgardian with sharp, angular facial features. Not the prettiest guy ever, but not horrendously ugly either.

[AndThePickles]

I think that they could possibly go for an androgynous angle when casting him.

[TheCorpulent1]

That would be kind of weird. I don't think I'd mind, though. Depends on how they play it.

[MilkmanDan]

I`m not sure how to judge Josh Harnett`s acting abilities but it doesn`t really matter. With Brannagh directing Paris Hilton could be made to act on the same level as an oscar winner.Since you mentioned it, can anyone tell me if Keanu Reeves was any good in "Much Ado About Nothing"? I haven't seen it, but I imagine it might tell us something about Brannagh's ability to bring the out best in his actors. Anyway, I'm hoping for the best, but I can't say I particularly like the idea of Hartnett as Loki. Maybe he'll surprise me, but I would prefer someone else.

[THOR]

Keanu Reeves is not good in anything....and Josh Hartnett is at almost the same level as the "Whoah" machine himself. The latest rumour mill has Harnett up for Thor, not Loki. That makes more sense to me as he was up for Superman and passed on it. Another good choice for Loki could be Crispin Glover, although he is even older than my first choice of Vincent Cassell.

[TheCorpulent1]

Crispin Glover, Adrien Brody, and Tom Hardy are my current favorites for Loki. Any of those three would physically embody Loki perfectly and all of them are great actors.

[WeaponXProject]

I definitely rather have Hartnett as Loki and not Thor. But in all...I would rather have someone else than him...I pass on almost every movie he's in but somehow end up seeing it. Never is good...never is really bad but doesn't have a performance that would make a fan proud he was cast.

[Rac]

I actually quite like Hartnett as an actor, but I'm not seeing him as Loki. (Or Thor)

[WeaponXProject]

30 days of night
Oh, yeah. He was good in it, but the movie sucked.

[Lobo]

I've only liked him in Lucky Number Slevin

[Balthus Dire]

I don't think I've liked him in literally anything he's done. How about gems like Hollywood Homicide? Pearl Harbor? Halloween H20?

[Canis Sapiens]

He wasn't horrible in Virgin Suicides. Love that movie, BTW.

[TheCorpulent1]

40 Days and 40 Nights. He wasn't terrible in that, but it was a pretty stupid movie.

[Balthus Dire]

40 Days and 40 Nights. He wasn't terrible in that, but it was a pretty stupid movie.

Yeah but he just plays Josh Hartnett in that, just like IMO he plays Josh Hartnett in every single film he's ever done.

[WeaponXProject]

The Faculty (1998) I'll give him a little credit.
Black Hawk Down I like him in this. (2001)
Sin City (2005) A two minute blip of his character "The Man". Cool character, just not enough to credit him for it.
Lucky Number Slevin (2006) It was more the movies twists and plot than his performance.


Wicker Park (name? spelling?) was pretty much the only movie where he was interesting in/multi-dimensional but it was more Rose Byrne than him. The movie was interesting but not something I'll see again. Last act sucked but the story was okay.

[AndThePickles]

Yeah but he just plays Josh Hartnett in that, just like IMO he plays Josh Hartnett in every single film he's ever done.

Yup, most definitely. Which is fine, I like the Josh Hartnett character, haha. Just not when he's required to play someone else :csad:

[irapogi]

40 Days and 40 Nights. He wasn't terrible in that, but it was a pretty stupid movie.

that is NOT FUN. my friends and i tried it for real, like we stashed all our porn in trashbags (external Hds included) then the winner would get all of it. i got 2nd place, but towards the end, all of us had MAD pms (or whatever the male version is)

[TheCorpulent1]

Yup, most definitely. Which is fine, I like the Josh Hartnett character, haha. Just not when he's required to play someone else :csad:
Ha, well put.

[The Question]

I think that they could possibly go for an androgynous angle when casting him.

That would fit Loki pretty well, actually. A character not unfamiliar with gender bending.

[Spider-Fan83]

That's perfect. Maybe they could go with how Tilda Swinton was in "Constantine" or Cillian Murphy.

Interesting suggestion. His stock will probably go up after Star Trek comes out too.

[TheCorpulent1]

He'd be a "name" casting that I'd be okay with. In spite of how ridiculous Sylar's become, Quintos is still giving good performances.

[anrrd_2]

certainly better than hartnet...dont get me wrong i think hartnet is a great actress, but for loki? im not convinced.

[TheCorpulent1]

lulz, Freudian slip? ;)

[anrrd_2]

lulz, Freudian slip? ;)

bwahaha wow. didnt even catch that:woot:.

[Changeling]

Willem Dafoe would be sweet for old Loki.

[anrrd_2]

that he would...correct me if im wrong, isnt loki thors younger brother? or was that never really said.

[Anubis]

He's adopted....and a shape shifter, and immortal. His age is kinda up in the air really.

[anrrd_2]

ah, ok then...ive never read much thor outside of avengers stuff

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm fairly certain Thor was born before Loki was adopted. But I don't know what their relative ages were when he was adopted. I know Thor's always been bigger than Loki, but that may just be because of their difference in powers and pursuits as kids--Thor tended to be stronger and gravitate toward warrior stuff, Loki was relatively crappy at warrior stuff and gravitated toward sorcery, which doesn't require muscle.

So that's a long-winded way of saying I don't know who's older. :o

[Anubis]

My moneys on Loki being older. Just one more reason for him to hate Thor. Despite the fact that he's clearly the oldest, he's still treated as a punk kid brother.

[TheCorpulent1]

I could see that. It's one thing to live in your big bro's shadow all your life, but to actually be the big bro and still have your stupid kid brother outshine you would be even worse.

[Anubis]

Poor, poor Loki. :(

[Lobo]

Hey Corp, do you have any ideas for a Loki movie design?

[TheCorpulent1]

Nope. I haven't thought about it.

[SymbioticToxin]

My friend on AIM gave me a thought. What about the female version of Loki? I mean I don't necessarily agree with it, cause I'd rather start with the original Loki, but what do you guys think? Or maybe have him take his female form in the movie for some purpose, seeing as he's a shapeshifter and all.

[Faded To Deaf]

That reminds me of the Ultimate Version of Loki, he kept changing forms depend on which situation he was manipulating. However I think some 616 fans would prefer a singular form for Loki, and I'm guessing that a female form is a little too new for they're liking.

I always pictured Loki as a man to tell the truth, I still need time to get used to the woman version, I mean there so much history with the guy form.

[SymbioticToxin]

It was like a week ago when I learned he was in female form (I'm more of a spidey comic guy, but I dabble in other comics here and there). It confused the crap outta me.

[louiebling$]

Anyone think Wes Bentley could pull off Loki?
*puts up flame shield*

[Canis Sapiens]

Sorry, but no. He was awful in Ghost Rider. Don't know what happened to his career.

[louiebling$]

[louiebling$]

yea i was super tired and watching American Beauty on tv lol

[Changeling]

O I love that movie. It's so funny!

[Changeling]

...Funny as in its so crazy that its funny..
Didnt want to seem like a freak..

[Canis Sapiens]

:hehe:


Yeah, he's good in AB... that's why I was so surprised with the string of bad films he was in after that.

[Silvermoth]

What about the female version of Loki?

Interesting thought. If only Demi Moore was a bit younger, she would be perfect.

It's not exactly inspired but I would still love to see Ed Westwick play Loki

[AndThePickles]

That's why I wanted him to look androgynous...to represent the fact that he's been male and female.

[Canis Sapiens]

Well, if they decide to use the female version of Loki, his love scenes with Karnilla will become A LOT more interesting to me...

:twisted:

[Keyser Soze]

Or maybe have him take his female form in the movie for some purpose, seeing as he's a shapeshifter and all.

It could be interesting having female Loki show up in an Avengers movie, perhaps. But for his first film appearance, Loki should definitely be male.

[TheCorpulent1]

I really hope they don't use the female Loki for anything. It only works for me right now because of the specific circumstances in the story. I mean, yeah, Loki's a shapeshifter, but he's clearly more comfortable being male by default.

[anrrd_2]

it could be funny to see loki shapeshift into woman in the movie...maybe even into black widow or another female avenger. talking to the others, setting false clues and all that. then catching a glimpse of himself in the mirror, checking himself out (like the goat-boy in stardust lol)

[TheCorpulent1]

That'd be cool. I just don't want him to be female by default for the whole movie or anything. Loki's a dude who sometimes shapeshifts into women, not the other way around.

[anrrd_2]

how far does lokis shape shifting ability go? can he become a child? or a 8 feet tall? can he be animals or inanimate objects?

[TheCorpulent1]

He's shapeshifted into animals in the myths. I don't know about inanimate objects or any large things, but a child seems doable.

[anrrd_2]

He's shapeshifted into animals in the myths. I don't know about inanimate objects or any large things, but a child seems doable.

[Changeling]

He's the new casting choice for like EVERY villain haha.

[Philly Phanboy]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/Target-33/Temp/FiennesLoki.jpg

I'd still go with Joseph Fiennes for Loki. Unlike Hartnett, you could use him for the Avengers movie and he wouldn't stand out like a sore thumb.

[Canis Sapiens]

Nice choice. :up: While everybody wants his brother for every villain role, you thought out of the box.

[TheCorpulent1]

Heh, it's funny that Fiennes has almost as big a forehead as one of Tom Raney's ridiculously out-of-proportion foreheads. :D

[Canis Sapiens]

He could be the Leader. WITHOUT prosthetics. :oldrazz:

[Balthus Dire]

Joseph Fiennes is such an overactor. Give me his brother Ralph instead!!

[Canis Sapiens]

Not gonna happen. Too old. (Although he's great)

[anthonytheghost]

michael pitt would be my choice.

[Superhero 101]

i heard josh hartnett is intrested in the role is that true?

[Canis Sapiens]

Yeah, something like that was reported a while ago by IESB and Latino Review. But a couple of weeks later, Nikki Finke of Hollywood Elsewhere heard from one of her sources that it wasn't clear whether he was up for the Loki role or for the Thor role.

[Brian Braddock]

I'd personally like to see Mark Strong play Loki.

[Brian Braddock]

Or how about Balthus from Battlestar Galactica.

Baltar, you mean. ;)

I love James Callis for his multi layered Baltar;

I 'd like to see him rewarded with a big movie role but if he was to get to play one comicbook character, I'd hope it was Dr.Strange personally.

[Silvermoth]

What do you guys think about Robert Pattison playing Loki? He seems quite intense to me and he's young enough to star alongside Skaarsgard.

[SymbioticToxin]

No., for 2 reasons. 1: He was in Twilight , which both ruined any possibilities for a good movie and put him in one adaptaton of something. and 2: Hes not very Loki-ish IMO

[TheCorpulent1]

I would hope they'd cast someone a little older for Loki.

[Vartha]

I still like Jason Done as Loki. His Mordred in Sci-Fi's Merlin was Loki all the way.

[MessiahDecoy123]

Jonathan Rhys Meyers for Loki.

Kevin McKidd for Thor.

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't think I've liked Jonathan Rhys Meyers in anything I've seen him in.

[Lobo]

I've never seen him anything, but always thought he had a good look for a live action Vegeta

[SymbioticToxin]

I don't think I've liked Jonathan Rhys Meyers in anything I've seen him in.
I've only ever seen him in The Tudors, and I think he'd be pretty good.

i could actually see that, plus he's amazing at accents. so if they don't end up going with jude law, zachary quinto is my second choice!

[anrrd_2]

yay! cant for the life of me think of who should play thor and oden though.

[Spider-Fan83]

you know who I kinda think might have an interesting look for Loki, Eric Balfour

zachary quintos IS loki!

http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w271/deweese07/Zachary-Quinto_280_558740a.jpg
I can see him as Loki. He has that 'I'll mentally **** your day up' look, know what I mean?

[Artistsean]

Plus he isn't physically beefy like Thor is, but he isn't scrawny either.
So he wouldn't look big compared to Thor, but compared to average humans he might look bigger.

HELL YEAH!!!! :up: :woot:

[Keyser Soze]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. As much as I like Quinto, I don't think he, or anyone else from Heroes, should be allowed anywhere near a superhero movie. It's just lazy casting.

[Kent]

I don't think I've liked Jonathan Rhys Meyers in anything I've seen him in.

I thought he did quite well in Match Point.

[chamber-music]

I don't think I've liked Jonathan Rhys Meyers in anything I've seen him in.

He was very loki like as Steerpike in Gormenghast where he was quite the Machiavellian schemer.

Meyers was also quite charismatic in this weird low budget Euro flick called Octane where he played a non-vampire kind of cult leader and I liked him as Southern jackass who wanted to kick Tobey Maguires ass in Ride with the Devil.

[Gallagher]

Nevermind :(

[outsider101487]

Haven't read all the posts, so don't know if he was mentioned, but what about Michael Pitt as Loki? My trigger was a picture of Alexander Skarsgard, and Pitt looks much like him -- actually like he could be his scrawny, demented kid brother.

He's a real good actor, at least in what I've seen -- Murder by Numbers, Funny Games (bad movie but he's good), and Delirious (supremely underrated film overall).

What do you guys think?

[Keyser Soze]

I've heard good things about Michael Pitt, but never seen him act myself.

Now, with Chris Hemsworth cast as Thor, watch as Alexander Skarsgard gets cast as Loki. :)

[Chewy]

I've got a feeling it's still going to be Hartnett

[TheCorpulent1]

Pitt was good in The Dreamers and Bully. He seems to have a solid range. I don't think he really has a good look for Loki, personally, but I wouldn't mind if they cast him.
