2nd, more accurate Thor casting rumor...

[not_a_victim]

"The Game" Triple H, who is set to return to the WWE at Summerslam to face King Booker after recovering from his most recent quad injury, is being considered for a part or in fact the lead in the upcoming movie based on the Marvel Comics character Thor. In fact, executives at Marvel are actually pushing for HHH to be signed to the picture. However, the director Matthew Vaughn is apparently against the idea of "The Game" as Thor and is looking to try and land Kevin McKidd, who is on the HBO series Rome, to the role



Straight from lordsofpain.net.
While I am not big on the wrestlers in movies thing, if you need a photorealistic copy of Thor walking around, it is LeVesque (HHH). ALso, with Marvel making movies in-house now, and with the praise that is raging over their idea to cast RDJ, I would be willing to bet they will offer LeVesque the role. The only "if " is whether or not he will take it.

MAJOR EDIT: Looking back on it, I realized that it may not come across that I am making a joke here. The quote did come from LOP, but I don't put any credibility in it. This guy has been bantered around as a good candidate for Thor, just because of how much he looks like him. If you have seen Blade 3, however, you know he can't act.

Id be up for it, if he can act
but he cant, so no, but he does look like thor

I am in no way a fan of entertainers in one media making the jump over to another just because of name recognition. However, this guy is as close to what thor should look like in real person. If you get a great supporting cast, which marvel has been proving it can then it might work.

But still a part of me is going to know that everyone is going to look at this as a movie the likes of which Rock, Stallone, or Arnold would play, just unrealistic action with bad acting for the lead. If the story works and Mrvel delops the charactors and not strieght to the action that I have faith. But the Movie has to be the starring vechicle and not the lead.

That said, the guy who played borimer in lotr is my idea for best actor suited for the role
