Official Thor Casting Thread

[aka Kal el]

How about Charles Hunnam. His 6'1

Is it just me or does this guy look like Ryan gossling's brother?

 

[cerealkiller182]

Alittle I guess.

I like Charlie Hunnam better for Iron Fist though

 

[chiefchirpa]

Well, at this point I take ANY actors. Damn Marvel should've said some words about the movie by now.

Disappointed.

 

[Triad]

Yeah, it would be nice to hear SOMETHING from Marvel by now about Thor (or Cap America, for that matter!).
I mean OK, we got a confirmation about IronMan II's cast & crew returning (Really good news, but a no-brainer, if you ask me. If it ain't broke...don't fix it, ya know?!)
Now how's about the other new franchises? Anything?

Not that it will even be thought of by the producers, but there is a drast contrast between the "look" of a Norse God to that of a Roman/Greek God. Where a Roman/Greek God would be tall, lean and cut much like what the Trojans looked like in 300, but a Norse God would be tall and thick much like an NFL Lineman. The Norse Gods lived in a violent world, not just in their wars with the Frost Giants and the Trolls, but with the elements. They feasted nightly and drank many a horn of mead after thier daily battles. Norse Gods were born and bred for brute strength and war and should look it. Tall with thick necks, broad shoulders, and barrel chested. They wouldn't have six pack abs and probably even have a touch of a stomach, and large thick legs.

Thats my take on what Thor and any "Asgardian Male" should look like. Except Loki.

 

[FaT_tONle]

I don't mind a lanky Thor as long as the guy is cut... mass is important no doubt... but all the actors that were the full Thor package back in the day are too old these days. As long as you see a decent mass and definition on the actor it will suffice for me personally.

Very valid & interesting points danielisthor! I bet you are right that he will not be portrayed like that in a movie, though. If they are going for "realism" they might, but I doubt it. The source comics didn't.

Like this.

Thanks for posting that pic.

Wouldn't u guys rather someone who can REALLY ACT as Dr. Blake and then put on the muscle and once again ACT as THOR also?? For all of you who THINK THOR wont have to act and will just slam a hammer, fight and brag about being thor...u r WAAAAAY off... Thor will have to emote and go through some trials and tribulations also, so some muscle head will NOT due!

I would like the same actor as well. But you don't even need to go into having the actor lose & gain weight. Crippling the character is good enough. Just because an actor has muscles, doesn't mean he can't look weak due to a serious injury.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Just go get the guy who played Thor in that old Hulk movie.

 

[Triad]

I don't know if he's been mentioned before but how about Karl Urban, Eomer from the last 2 LOTR movies?

I could see it.

 

[nolan's roll'n]

^Urban would be a great choice!

 

[Nightmare]

Urban, FTW!

 

[Marz69]

Here's a recent pic of Alexander from a promo of Trueblood.

It premieres now. HBO at 9est. I'm gonna watch it. He has the look for THOR.

 

[FaT_tONle]

A real novel, orignal, outside the box casting choice for sure...

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm tONle?

Not bad. I think it has been suggested before. Between LOTR and Pathfinder he definitely has experience in this type of roles.

Now, since you mentioned LOTR, how about David Wenham (Faramir)?

 

[tamron]

Some really good shots of James Preston Rogers from his MySpace page. I'd definitely screen test this guy.

LOL

I think if more people worded their suggestions like this (like for Steve Rogers or John Cena) people might actually stay away from arguing it.

Let's get Gerard Butler in there for Kraven while we are at it...

 

[Triad]

Yes! Awesome choice! Wish I would have thought of it.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Kraven needs to be in Spider-Man not Thor though.

 

[BULLITT]

What, no Dolph Lundgren?

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Dolph Lundgren for Ymir.

 

[Changeling]

Has everyone read the Thor script? If not, I've got it if you want it, PM me. I've also got Luke Cage, Magneto, Wolverine, and others.
