Kenneth Branagh to direct Thor

[terry78]

What are the odds that Thor Girl would pop up around this franchise?

 

[Brian Braddock]

Very Small?

Slightly worse than Ego the Living Planet's odds of popping up in this franchise.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Quite;

Everyone knows that Ego's being saved for the Avengers movie.

 

[arachnid-guy]

I am quite excited for this movie.

 

[Lobo]

I :heart: Tarene

 

[Spidey-Quad]

About as big a chance as her breast size But a Valkarie? Perhaps

 

[Aztec]

This movie WILL be excellent! Branagh is a perfect choice and he will treat the franchise seriously and with respect. I love the fact that this story will be set in Asgard and be all LOTR-esque.

Marvel is really on the right track. When the big 4 finally meet up in The Avengers, it's gonna be HUGE!!!!

 

[Jack Bauer]

Hmm. Interesting. Now when I think of Branagh on the set filming, I'll always think of the smiling Lockheart in his robes.

For some reason I think of this:

 

[BlackLantern]

I've seen Branagh in Hamlet(I consider his 'Hamlet' the definitive film adaptation), Much Ado About Nothing, and lots of other films, I think he's the right fit

 

[Lobo]

How would you guys feel if Branagh cast himself as Loki?

 

[BlackLantern]

maybe 10 years ago it would have been perfect but I think Branagh would know better

 

[Lobo]

I agree. Thor, and GL are my two most anticipated upcoming comic movies, so I'm eager to see whom gets cast.

 

[chamber-music]

Is anyone watching Wallander on the BBC?

Branaghs too a bit too old for Loki (and a bit too chubby). He could work as a minor character like other actor/director Jon Favreau did as Happy Hogan.

Favereau has already played Happy Hogan in Iron Man, Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson in Daredevil and one of Bruce Waynes assistants in Batman Forever.

 

[Mister Sinister]

How would you guys feel if Branagh cast himself as Loki?

I'd prefer Odin.

 

[Chewy]

Loki needs to be around the same age as Thor.

 

[Venom'sDad]

Is it confirmed that Loki is in the film?

 

[Spade]

Protosevich used Loki as the focal point of his story, so unless something has drastically changed Loki will be the main villain.

 

[Venom'sDad]

So I assume they are going with the Asgard origin of Loki being adopted by Odin.... or do you know?

 

[Lobo]

Loki needs to be around the same age as Thor.

Let's say we get Skars as Thor, who is Loki then?

 

[Ronny Shade]

how hilarious would it be if the movie Branagh was doing turned out to just be a movie about Thor the norse god and was in no way affiliated with marvel

 

[Eddie Dean]

Let's say we get Skars as Thor, who is Loki then?

I like Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

I would cry not-so-manly tears.

 

[Chewy]

Well, I like Jude Law for the part. And he's only 4 years older than Skars, so that's close enough that they could look the same age, imo.

 

[Chewy]

It depends if they are keeping the Protosevich script (or something similar) or not. If they are, the story is about Thor's banishment and ultimately his redemption.

If they aren't, then who knows
