Iron Man 2 How would Thor work in IM2?

[JerseyJoker]

Thank God no one here is doing the casting for Thor.

Saying a porn star would be perfect for Thor. Geez.

Rofl. So true.

Just goes to show that casting on looks alone could end up with a guy spent most of his time screwing infront of a camera to be the God of Thunder.

 

[Spider-Vader]

I see Hulk as who the Avengers will fight.

Depends the ending of TIH left it open for two ways.

One where Banner controls Hulk & one where Hulk controls Banner. So who knows.

I myself would prefer the former.

 

[BobJM]

I don't think Banner or Hulk will appear in Avengers. Just a feeling I have.

 

[Chewy]

I don't think Banner or Hulk will appear in Avengers. Just a feeling I have.

And I think you're wrong

Seriously, Marvel obviously intends for Hulk to be in it, otherwise Downey wouldn't have shown up in TIH. Now that TIH only made a quarter billion worldwide people doubt that it'll happen? Come on.

Q&A: Kevin Feige
The mild-mannered exec now controls the Marvel movie universe
By Borys Kit

THR: You cast a relative unknown as the lead in "Thor." Will that be the Marvel casting strategy?

Feige: I think the Marvel way is casting the best actor for the part. It can be somebody relatively new, but it can also be someone like Robert Downey Jr., who you wouldn't necessarily call an unknown. Chris Hemsworth came by the ("Iron Man 2") set a few weeks ago. There was nobody around, but it was the historic meeting of Thor and Tony Stark. Within a few minutes, the crew was whispering, "There's Thor." Some of them had worked on "Star Trek," so they knew who he was, but you could feel the buzz. He was wearing a T-shirt, but he was an imposing presence on the set.

THR: Marvel has developed a reputation for being a tough negotiator on acting deals.

Feige: I hope with our track record that people can see us as a place that makes product that a lot of people will see. And that at the same time there's a comfort factor that we will not hang them out to dry. There's a sense of trust there. A trust with the filmmakers we work with, like Jon Favreau, Ken Branagh and Joe Johnston. We bring a sense of quality where they are not going to be just playing two-dimensional characters. Natalie Portman is very much trusting us and Ken Branagh to showcase what a great actress she is, the same actress that we see in her smaller films. We're trying something that's never been done before, a new idea of the same character appearing in multiple franchises. And the economic conditions of Hollywood are very different now than they've ever been before

I love that response from Feige. That is exactly why I love Marvel Studios so much. They are trying something totally different, but they are doing it with pure class.

Something i made up a while ago:

Tony enters his office. He is severeally wounded, full of cuts and straps. Tired, he sits in his chair, when smells smoke. he looks behind to face NICK FURY, director of SHIELD, smoking a cigarette and holdind a folder of the Avengers initiative.

TONY (beat):
Wha'da you want, Fury? I'm a little bussy right now.

FURY (Smirking):
I bet'cha are, but whe have work to do. You have 5 minutes to get dressed.

TONY (Confused):
What are you talking about?

FURY (Smiling):
Where just going to Noruega to convinc a climatic-powered nuttcase that believes he is the asgardian god of thunder to join our little operation.

And awkard silence is felt, imediatly broke by

TONY (Bored)
OK, just give me 10 minutes.

FADE OUT.

Contrived much?

Sounds like Ultimate Avengers 1 (or 2) When Fury and Steve go to a Whaling protest to see Thor there. Fury almost says that exact same thing.

GG

I was just about to post that in the Ultimate Universe, which this marvel world is mostly based on, Thor starts out as a peace activist. Not a far stretch to see him protesting/demonstrating outside of a Stark Weapons facility, chemical plant, R&D Lab that tests on animals...or the hundred other things that Stark Industries is probably doing that he would be protesting.

Yes he's making all the right noises but i have to disagree with him saying that the idea of one character appearing in multiple franchises is something new.

Co-sign.

Agreed, but it's never been done on the scale that Marvel are going to do it. Their ideas of character 'cross-pollenation' are ambitious, and certainly exciting.

I don't know about how their doing he whole Thor coming to earth thing in his movie, but, in terms of a reference in this one....

what about something to do with his hammer falling to earth?

like the impact shows up on a seismic radar...

or how about a scene where the hammer falling to earth, almost hits Tony as he's fling, and he's like "WTF was that" lol

Chris Hemsworth was on Iron Man 2 set. Probably just visiting but still Thor met Iron Man.
