Official Thor Casting Thread

[Brian Braddock]

Out of all the people that are on that poll, Sean Bean is the only one I would like to see as Thor. He's a really solid actor, but may be too old to fill the roll. Then again, Robert Downey Jr. was well in his 40's when he did Iron Man, so who knows.

Now that Kenneth Branagh is negotiating to direct, I have faith that a good actor will fill the roll.

What, you mean the 5'10" Sean Bean?

I'll pass, AB...........

 

[Iron_Stark]

Gerard Butler

 

[Kane]

Hey, I said out of the choices that are on the poll, that's who I'd pick. That's not who'd I pick overall .

I'm not sure yet who I'd like to see play Thor.

Jouko Ahola(Kingdom Of Heaven) should be casted as THOR :

[Wolfman]

Gerard Butler

Stop with the Gerald Butler already! He's too dark and too short for Thor. Just because he had huge pecks in 300, doesn't mean he has what it takes for Thor. Sheesh..

And isn't Jouko really bad actor? And has rather lame facial features for Thor.

odin - brian blessed

all sound pretty much good to me

6'2" is too short? Too dark? LMAO.

ROFLMAO!!! Agreed

 

[Rust]

Don't understand why on Earth people think Cillian Murphy would make a good Loki. He's too pretty, too feminin-looking, too young and too small.

These guys make better Lokis IMO. Urban would be interesting.

Of course, that depends on the depiction of Loki, but he should definitely not look like Murphy.

 

[The Man of Steel]

not a bad idea

loki is immortal so age is relative. the reason why I posted murphy is because he reminds me of the ultimates loki.

 

[Brian Braddock]

As a fan of Casino Royale and a huge Bond fan in general; I'd love to see Mads as Loki.

 

[Philly Phanboy]

Yeah Mads Mikkelsen would seriously rock as Loki.

 

[The Man of Steel]

agreed, I can totally see that

 

[Rich Santoro]

To jump in on the issue of having separate actors as Blake and Thor... The basis could be that Thor's consciousness is inserted into Blake's body as Blake dies (perhaps a car accident, to explain the gimp and cane). Show a scene of Thor being banished, and then a first person view for the movie-goer, soaring over the sea and land closring in on Earth. We slowly decrease in altitude, so that we can start to hear the ambient noise of the city below... the sounds of sirens begin to become noticeable... We get very close to ground-level and see firemen trying to get someone out a twisted car-wreck, saying that there are no vital signs...

Then suddenly, the guy sits up sharpy with a gasp. We cut to the hospital, and the guy (we dicover is Dr. Blake) is having trouble remembering what's happenning. The movie moves forward with the Blake character re-adjusting after the accident and getting back into the swing of being a doctor. Everyday that he faces a medical situation is like a new revelation to him (of challenge, and drama, instensity, and a lesson in the human condition)... and interspersed are scenes where he wakes up in cold sweats, from very vivid dreams of battle scene scenarios and Asgardian monsters. He eventually discovers that he is Thor within the body of a fallen Dr. Blake, and he had been sharing some of Blake's memories (in "returning" to life as a doctor)... similar to how Robo-Cop shared some of the memories from the Peter Weller cop character, whose brain was used to build the Robo-Cop cyborg.

This way, we can assocate the different actors (scenes as Blake and scenes as Asgardian Thor) to the same character... He could even return to being Blake at the end of the film... until in the Avengers film, where SHIELD (who has been monitoring Blake for a while, after having secretly observed the final battle-sequence from the Thor movie) approaches Blake and say that they know who he really is... and want to talk to him about the Avengers.

And I like Mads for the Red Skull... I prefer Christopher Eccleston for Loki...

 

[Ronny Shade]

Triple H is a horrible choice. We need someone with charisma. He's a GOD for pete's sake not a steroid muncher with a 'tude

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Antonio Banderas for Balder the Brave.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Jason Isaacs for Loki

 

[Ronny Shade]

6'2" is too short? Too dark? LMAO.

who would you cast?

Why is that so funny?
I think it's important for Thor to be very fair-complected and very blond

I think he could work just fine:

 

[Ronny Shade]

I'd stay away from Gerard Bulter for this, but it's a taste thing.

 

[Brian Braddock]

I feel the same way, Ronny.

 

[chiefchirpa]

Blond hair if you have dark hair = Dye it.
Fair skin if you are a little suntanned (must be Caucasian though) = Cream the skin white.

The following issues are more important to look at for Thor actor:
1. Acting ability
2. Charisma
3. Height & musculature
