Official Thor Casting Thread

[captaintass]

Be happy to help you out dude. Though trust me he should be Cap instead of THOR and after you see these clips you will understand why. Yeah he is a little tall but they can work around that easily just ask Tom Cruise(LOL) I hope this helps feel free to comment....enjoy

IMHO these are some better candidates for THOR.

Dude, you can't have Cap towering over Thor in the movies. I watched Gen Kill and thought Skarsgard would make a good Cap but he's too tall. Perfect height to play Thor, though, considering most good actors are in the 5'9" to 6'1" range. If Skarsgard were to play Cap and Brad Pitt was Thor then Cap would be 4 or 5 inches taller than Thor.

No.

Ok, we're going to squash the Nash thing right here, right now.

The truth is this: Nash is a much better actor than most of you are giving him credit for (It's hard to tell when Nash breaks kayfabe. That's a pretty good indicator). That said, he doesn't have enough stroke in Hollywood to land him the role of Thor.

So now we can stop talking about it.

 

[SNIKT1950]

That said, he doesn't have enough stroke in Hollywood to land him the role of Thor.

All it takes is a good audition

We'll see what happens in a few months...

 

[louiebling$]

Nothin will happen in a few months cuz he's not even gonna be considered. I dont care if u say "we don't know that" because fact of the matter is in the end he's still a wrestler,an old, grey haired, worn knees wrestler.And I know for Damn sure that Marvel is not looking at him for Thor. KB is not looking for him for Thor. I'm sick of this Nash posts is ANNOYING!Just as Bad as the Steve Rogers Crap at the Captain America Casting thread. Dude u mean to tell me in all of hollywood they are gonna get Nash for Thor? He's not even popular anymore plus he's on a CRAPPY Wresting franchise(TNA). He would be better off in the WWE if he wants to get exploited to Hollywood.HHH has a WAY Bigger chance to get Casted than Nash!

 

[cerealkiller182]

Comments like, "I KNOW that Kevin could stand his ground with Downey and Norton"... is ignorance my friend... I mean unless you were being literal and were talking about a WWE match... then I agree with you.

Agreed!

 

[captaintass]

True. I have a good chance of landing a role in a Marvel movie if I was given the opportunity to audition.

Nash has about as much of a chance as I do at landing an audition, though.

 

[SNIKT1950]

This is you assuming.

I dont care if u say "we don't know that" because fact of the matter is in the end he's still a wrestler,an old, grey haired, worn knees wrestler.

This is you being childish and ignorant.

And I know for Damn sure that Marvel is not looking at him for Thor. KB is not looking for him for Thor.

This is you assuming yet again.

I'm sick of this Nash posts is ANNOYING!

This is you having a childish temper tantrum.

Just as Bad as the Steve Rogers Crap at the Captain America Casting thread. Dude u mean to tell me in all of hollywood they are gonna get Nash for Thor? He's not even popular anymore plus he's on a CRAPPY Wresting franchise(TNA).

TNA is 3 points away from catching up with WWE stock.

You don't know anything about wrestling, so I don't even know why I bother telling you.

He would be better off in the WWE if he wants to get exploited to Hollywood.HHH has a WAY Bigger chance to get Casted than Nash!

This is you being ignorant again and making completely absurd comments.

*Are you even capable of validating your opinion without being 12 years old?

Nash has about as much of a chance as I do at landing an audition, though.

This is a bold statement.

And it makes me laugh t:

 

[captaintass]

This is a bold statement.

And it makes me laugh t:

Dude, you have been a nonstop source of comedy since you started posting these Nash missives. I have actually supported some of your statements and besides you I probably have the highest opinion of his acting chops. Unlike you, however, I'm not letting my unrequited crush on him color my view of reality.

 

[FaT_tONle]

99% of posters on this forum disagree with you... I rest my case... .

 

[aka Kal el]

This is completely innacurate and downright ignorant.

I'm willing to bet the man has more flexibility than you will ever have.

*See why assuming isn't a good thing?

The truth is Kevin's injuries haven't been able to shut him down.

If you didn't know much about Kevin when you met him, the LAST thing you'd think is that he couldn't walk.

Snikt I hate to break to you but I heard it from the guys own mouth! read my previous posts! this is not hearsay! It came directly in from Kevin himself! I was there!! It broke my heart to hear him say it! It really did I was hoping for a no comment. And as far as my flexability. You mght want to read my prof for that answer. You have to face it it is not going to happen. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.........

Okay, I know i'm stepping into the middle of a s**t storm here, but why can't we just all agree to disagree? To the wrestling fans, sure wrestling is your thing, and they may be awesome wrestlers, and they may be tough and everything, but considering Marvel is trying to set up a massive franchise, across at least four different big Marvel characters, they're not likely to take a punt at risking that just because some wrestler looks the part. And in all seriousness, if any of them were THAT good at acting, why would they be wrestling in the first place?
And to the people who are making fun of wrestlers, its not wise. Because one of the wrestlers might read it, find out where you live and then pretend to punch you in the face. Scary stuff. All i'm going to say is thank christ none you actually have any say in this whatsoever. Lets just sit back and wait for the casting to happen lol. All this fighting is still pretty amusing. Anyway, to get things rolling again, - "I Think Kevin McKidd would make a good Thor!" (Fireworks time lol)

 

[Wolvieboy17]

By the way, Snikt... You are seriously, seriously deluded. Keep up the good work!

Wolvie well said though I'm not worried about the wrestlers(LOL) I like Kevin Mckidd a lot he was excellent in Rome as was Ray Stevenson. I would love to see his interrpetion of Thor. Could his previous denial be due to a NDA? It is possible but I have a feeling they are looking for someone a little younger and then surround him with well known players. Balder is more likely.

I'm sure snikt will say that Kevin was in character when he told you that.

 

[Rich Santoro]

Drew Barrymore for Thor... She has the locks, she did some good action sequences in Charlie's Angels, and has already delved into the fantasy realm in several films. She can MORE than hold her own with WWE guys... which is what the rest of the movie should be filled with.

 

[marcvader]

N0 no no... I think Carmen Diaz is a much better idea since she's taller as well as having blond locks.

 

[aka Kal el]

Its definitely possible, but let's talk about expectations.

I'd be happy if he ended up 250-260 at REALLY low body fat.

Dude you really got to be careful especially with D ball. That stuff will screw your liver up!

 

[WeaponXProject]

I like Sean Bean a little more after watching the first LOTR again.

That's a damn good post!!! @ SNKIT1950: Dude TNA is a ****ty wrestling franchise! Their arcs are hella boring,they have all the WWE rejects their current champion is BUSTED.They're Gimmicks SUCK. They're Wrestlers are crappy actors. They're Main Events suck..... and There Is No way In hell They will ever be on the same Level as WWE. Sorry for goin off topic but it had to be said

I can´t believe that there is even a discussion about this. wrestlers can´t act. period.

Cameron Diaz does have better height... But I wouldn't want a cape covering her ASSets... Better to cast her as Captain America (she is perfect for Steve Rogers, you know, since she is blond...I just hope her ethnic heritage doesn't disqualify her for such an all-American role)...

Now that my creative juices are flowing... can anyone say Lucy Liu for Mandarin??? I think we are onto something.

 

[broblacksteel]

thnx for the comedy guys....these post are CLASSIC STUFF!!! It wont get this good again til cap casting talks start next year....I cant wait to see how many fanboys are gonna claim who's right for cap due to blond hair or the fact they did a war movie....smh....

 

[marcvader]

Now that my creative juices are flowing... can anyone say Lucy Liu for Mandarin??? I think we are onto something.

I agree.. how about Rosie Odonell for Kingpin?

 

[Marz69]

I have the perfect THOR: Shawn Wayans (white chicks). Look at those long blonde locks.

Imagine a hammer instead of a football.

 

[marcvader]

She's hot!
