This epic adventure spans the Marvel Universe; from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.
Now I'm even more excited to see what direction this movie is going in!

Nice! A much better fit than Sif for Portman
I imagine she'll care for Thor after he's banished to Earth, or something along those lines

Hmm. Blake's nurse. There's certainly a history there that leads to fleshing out the Thor/Blake dynamic. I'm intrigued to see where this is all going, specific to plot.
...and I love Nat. :heart:
I like Portman as an actress, and I'm glad she is not Sif. Jane Foster is an excellent role for her, and her name adds some star power and credibility, to what could potentially be a tough sell in Thor.
I'm stoked, now all I want to know is who will be Sif?

I suppose it would depend on how much Asgard we get, but I'll be a little peeved if there's not at least a Sif cameo before Odin casts Thor out.

I guess these means if Biel's in she will be Sif.
^A role that suits her IMO. But if the Biel rumor is true, than Sif will be in and have some decent amount of screen time, likely before Thor's banishment.

Nice choice. She's very talented. And also brings some much needed star power for the film.
Since Kevin Feige said there won't be a Donald Blake, I've got a theory for Jane Foster's role in the film: once banished to Earth, Thor will be considered insane and will go to some mental institution. Guess who's gonna be his nurse... :cwink:

Eh... I've never really been a fan of the "Thor is insane" route. I imagine it'll be something more along the lines of: he's used to being nigh-invincible and gets his ass kicked, and winds up in a hospital, where his nurse is Jane Foster.

there's not a mental institution or prison on EARTH that can hold Thor. (the REAL Thor, not that "ultimate" cream puff)...

^ That.
Hey it would make sense at this point.
If this isn't going to be an all-Asgard story, one can assume the script has been re-worked quite a bit in the last couple of years since it will be taking place on present day Midgard and they want Thor to gel with the other franchises.
Canis Sapiens

I don't know, man, something tells me they're gonna use some small bits from Ultimate Thor. It's just a gut feeling. In the first draft, Thor is banished to Earth during the viking era and becomes a slave, since he's powerless.
Now, after the changes in the script, we know that he's gonna be banished to Earth in modern times, probably powerless too, as in the first draft. Since is highly improbable that he's going to be enslaved in the 21st century, the mental institution storyline could happen. And, if done right, could be really good, IMO.

I'm not familiar enough with Thor to say whether Portman is right for the character, but I like her so it's great to see her involved with the project. That plot description sounds really cool though. I'm getting really jazzed about the film.

Chewy
07-13-2009, 03:36 PM
Foster's importance to the story will likely be that Thor starts off not giving a **** about humans, sees them as lesser beings because he is a god, etc. Then he falls for Foster and realizes there is more to them than that, and decides to stay on Earth to help them even after he gets his powers back and is allowed to return to Asgard.
Cue Avengers movie
Why would they cast "Jane Foster" if not including "Donald Blake"?

I REALLY like that idea. It could give a lot of dimension to the character, make him more in line with the other franchises, and provide a nice arc for his character. It's sure a hell of a lot better than the "Donald Blake" character.

TheCorpulent1
07-13-2009, 04:02 PM
What does everyone have against Donald Blake?
I don't know. Maybe they can't separate the character from the handicap on Thor that he represented. Thor was extremely vulnerable in his Don Blake state, which came up as a silly weakness in the Silver Age comics a lot. That annoyed me too, but Don Blake as a character doesn't. I think he enriches Thor, especially if portrayed as he has been during the current comic series.
Jane Foster can exist without Don Blake...
But why name the character Jane Foster?
Chewy
07-13-2009, 04:08 PM
But why name the character Jane Foster?
Because the character will be Jane Foster?
They can have a nurse in the movie without Thor magically transforming into a crippled doctor.
Canis Sapiens
07-13-2009, 04:09 PM
He most certainly would need to be stripped of his god-hood.
Yeah, I'm sure he will be. I think they'll make Thor go through something like the Aslan arc in the first Narnia movie. Remember how Aslan was powerless and got humiliated by his enemies? And then he kind of "resurrected" in a glorious way?
I guess Thor is gonna be heavily humiliated during his banishing, and that, besides teaching him some humility, would only make the return of his powers all the more thrilling.

Portman in Thor. I can dig it. Cannot say I have much faith in Hemsworth, but with Branagh at the helm and an already good cast surrounding him, I have faith in the project.
Hopefully Portman beat out Biel, and Biel isnt still up for another role. Shes nice to look at, but shes got a bit of a ways to go before Im confident in her projects.

I'm happy that Blake won't be in Thor. I've said from the beginning that I think it's a bad idea to have two different actors playing as Thor/Blake, and with the update we will only have Hemsworth playing both the Norse god and the human alter ego in the movie. It will allow Hemsworth to play all the meaty part of this role, not just the action part.
Btw, I'm very happy to have such a talented and beautiful actress as Natalie Portman playing the love interest of Thor. Although it'd be nice to have Lady Sif, but I think having a human (as opposed to goddess) as love interest will make the story more compelling.

No brainer than an acting talent like Portman wants to add a Branagh film to her already impressive resume.
Edit: I also think Blake will be in the film, but Hemsworth will play him. After all he needs a name that humans can refer to him by. Obviously "Thor" wouldn't work. I can still see him playing a crippled physician that has to deal with suffering/dying patients in a hospital.
Mistress Kizuna
07-13-2009, 05:14 PM
I can definitely see Natalie as Jane. A way better character for her than an Asgardian warrior goddess.
I personally believe that Blake is just going to appear at the very end, and that's where he meets Jane.
Just how big would the role be though?
FaT_tONle
07-13-2009, 05:31 PM
I see Portman coming only half way in, or a third of the way in, so I don't see it being a huge role. I wonder if they will even go back to Asgard for an extended period if the 2-3 Acts are mostly Earth based though, so it could be a big role.

TheCorpulent1
07-13-2009, 07:08 PM
Jane Foster started out as a typical '60s love interest/attachment to the hero/occasional damsel-in-distress. She was Don Blake's nurse at his private practice. She grew over time to become a solid everywoman character and a confident, renowned doctor in her own right. So, basically, she's a normal woman in the medical field now.
batman strikes
07-13-2009, 07:17 PM
This has probably been brought up before but maybe Donald Blake will be an alias for Thor while he is on Earth, instead of just a normal guy being changed into Thor. I don't know it might seem a little to far fetched but its a way to get both character's in there without casting two different actors.
TheCorpulent1
07-13-2009, 07:18 PM
That wouldn't really be Donald Blake to me. I'd prefer they just leave Blake's name out if they're not going to use the actual Blake character.

07-13-2009, 07:40 PM
Make since, plus one of the producers said that Blake wasn't in the script at all. Maybe in possible sequals after the Avengers is done.
FaT_tONle
07-13-2009, 07:47 PM
Producers lie... but I don't know how Thor learns humility if he isn't a human or a character with all the typical human characteristics. It may not look believable with a 6'3 muscular guy playing a crippled human being, but he doesn't have to be the Blake we all know. I am guessing if the producers aren't bull, maybe he'll just be this guy with amnesia that can't remember his name and has no legal identification. That would do away with Blake. But I can see why Marvel doesn't want two actors as it would be cheezy if the guy playing Blake disappears into a cloud and then comes out as He-Man or whatever. That's a turn off. I think it's best if he is some sort of doctor or physician on Earth though.
TheCorpulent1
07-13-2009, 07:54 PM
If they're gonna keep Hemsworth as the human/powerless version of Thor, I wouldn't mind if they made him a bit closer to Jake Olsen than Don Blake. You know, a younger, more athletic paramedic rather than a surgeon. That would allow him to see mortality up close, which I guess could inspire him toward a more human outlook on life.

Nice cast, Portman is one of the most talented young actresses around!
If Jessica Biel will be really in this movie, I think she'll be Amora the Enchantress, a villain, not Sif, Jane Foster must be Thor's love interest.

Depends.
Why couldn't he be restricted to using a cane by some injury, but still be robust. Something on the idea of Dr House. Now he is not a Viking Thunder God, but he is not a 90 pound weakling either.
This is the first thing that has made me feel positive about this film since KB's announcement to direct many months ago. I don't know anything about the character, but Natalie Portman is never a bad thing.

Is Blake still used in the comics? The most I know from Thor comes from The Ultimates, where he was just Thor.
TheCorpulent1
07-13-2009, 09:11 PM
Ultimate Thor is pretty much nothing like the main version of Thor.
He lost his Don Blake persona in the '80s and just recently regained it, only Blake is a separate, sentient part of Thor now. There's a whole spiel about how gods and humans are two sides of the same coin that JMS came up with for it. Basically, Blake is now Thor's humanity given sentience.

She's one of my favourite actresses, I loved her in Garden State. She'll stir up a lot of interest in the movie, so I'm glad the decided to go with a big name who can actually act. It's going to be a lot of fun seeing her in a Marvel film, and I can't wait until they start filming so we can see how everyone looks as their character.

"Marvel Studios expands its film universe with a new type of superhero: THOR. This epic adventure spans the Marvel Universe; from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth. "

I'm pretty sure more of it is going to be set on Earth since they started rewriting.

I didn't realize they were doing such significant rewrites. Interesting...

I've said other places but thus far I haven't been disappointed in one aspect of this movie yet. Go Branagh, go.
Good, good choice.

curious... I hope that Jane is upgraded to a doctor here.. might as well...
Too bad that there will be no Don.. for the first movie, at least..

07-14-2009, 05:28 PM
Yeah, I prefer Jane as a doctor as well.

First Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern and now Natalie Portman as Jane Foster... wow...
I used to be a fan of Nat but... this kinda sparked a bit of interest.

Dont know anything about the character she is playing, but Natalie Portman is a great acctress and an absolute hotty to boot. She was fantastic in V For Vendetta IMO, and she is generally a talented acctress.

Ahh,.. sarcasm. I get it. I'm a teacher and in spite of what the text books told us back in college I use that from time to time. Very effective at times.
Yes, would be nice to see her in fetching Asgardian dress. Verily.

^I wasn't being sarcastic. Tiny, skinny Natalie Portman isn't my idea of a Norse goddess.
And I wouldn't care about Portman in Asgardian dress. Check out my user name. :cwink:

Thor was pretty popular with the ladies in the comics. Sif, the Enchantress, the Wasp, Jane, and various others were always sweating him. :up:
If they really do sign Biel, we need a poll thread to ask who has the hotter cast, Iron Man or Thor?
Jessica Biel and Natalie Portman VS Scarlett Johannson and Gwyneth Paltrow
Casting a proper Enchantress would put Thor over the top unless Olivia Munn has a larger roll than they stated. Wow, Marvel Studio knows their stuff.

I saw it. One never knows. The written word loses some subtlety of the actual, audible spoken word.
While not my ideal woman I dig her in whatever guise.

I sure as hell wouldn't. While Portman & Paltrow aren't uber-hot types like Biel and Johannson, I find Paltrow more attractive than Portman.

Biel 'cause, let's face it, she's super hot. And Paltrow because I just love those Hitchcockian, sophisticated blondes.

I generally feel the same way about Johansson; seeing her as BW is probably the 1st time I've ever looked at her and thought she looks sexy or even attractive.
^That's how I feel about Portman. Good actress? Yes. Super hot? Not to me.

Brian Braddock
07-16-2009, 02:13 PM
Padme???
I'd like to think Portman's body of work would mean that she's remembered for something more than being in the SW prequels.

I don't think Portman's super-hot either, but she does have a very pretty face.

Agreed totally and utterly, she just has never done anything for me and I dont find her that attractive at all, but as BW, she does look lovely.

it's weird to see the taste of women from posters here. haha.
Scarlett belongs to the same group as Natalie: Classic Beauties. You don't think of them of Megan Fox or some bimbo because they have a certain classiness to their looks.

Scarlett Johansson doesn't look classy to me, though. She just isn't really attractive outside of her mammoth boobs.

Totally agreed, and until she shows those boobs off in the flesh, i'm not really interested. Her face is distinctly average IMO.

that fricken friend zone... anyway, yea, i havnt read many thor comics so could anybody tell me who exactly jane foster is? i think i read that she's a nurse on an earlier page, but is she like thebe all end all love interest for thor or is that still sif, either way i think nathalie portmans a decent actress, pretty too, also her acting in the prequal trilogy was the least of that movies problems.

It appears to be the "internet nerds grading women like pieces of meat" thread.Of course, we also spend a worrying amount of time analyzing the bodies of various Hollywood hunks and debating whether or not they are worthy of playing such beefcakes as Thor and Captain America. I think we need this thread. At this point it may be the only thing that helps us hold on to our delusions of heterosexuality.

As good a reason as any, I suppose. I don't think anyone expected Portman to geek out and be all, "OMG, are you kidding? It's THOR! I'm such a huge fan!" ;)

I'm sure we'll hear a lot more in another year when we're closer to Thor's release. Sounds like the article's author sort of butted into an unrelated press conference in this case.

The follow up question should've been about Tobey (Spider-Man one) handing the reigns to Jake (the next Spider-Man) that would've drove the "Brother's" PR man nuts!
