Official Thor Casting Thread

My choices for Amora if she ever appears in a Thor sequel or possibly the Avengers movie


Kristanna Loken

Leelee Sobieski

Adrianne Palicki

 

[chiefchirpa]

Out of the 3, I only approve Adrienne because of the age range. Adrienne's height is also a plus.

Again Amora should be considered a soft, non-warrior female so naturally she should have more curve than Adrienne?

Edit: Leelee, 1982? Wow she must have older than her age face.

 

[Chewy]

Eva Green for Sif

Olivia Wilde for Karnilla

 

[chiefchirpa]

Actors with name recognition--male or female--might shake some of the stigma off of the superhero movies for older demographics, though. "Well, it can't just be for kids and stupid people if Gwyneth Paltrow decided to co-star in it!" It's silly, but I'm sure there's reams of marketing data that confirms it works.

I thought that's also why RDJ not some younger actor is casted. Pepper Potts role on the other hand, doesn't induce much scrutiny if not the chemistry with the lead actor.

 

[Lobo]

Eva Green for Sif

Olivia Wilde for Karnilla

I'd actually be cool with Portman as Karnilla

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That could work. Karnilla's not as inherently physical as Sif, since she's a sorceress. She doesn't have to look like she could hold her own alongside the Warriors Three and Thor.

Amora is for the 2nd movie, if & only if the first movie goes past 180-200 million domestically.

Anyway, famous names for female roles in superhero movies is almost unnecessary. People don't see Iron Man for Gwyneth and TI Hulk for Liv Tyler. Gals might want to see the studs, guys are content with the action.

Ultimately, I agree with that... but the right actress, really can have an impact (based on talent, look, and/or vibe for the role).

Very true, Corp.

A stigma that gets wiped sumwhat once the GA learns that a guy of Kenneth Branagh's class is involved with this thing. A balance of talented new faces mixed with established quality performers is the key to this kind of ensemble piece.

And with that in mind - amongst the countless other casting suggestions for characters - I'm still saying Nicole Kidman is perfect for Hela.

I mean, she's a decent enough actress with name recognition, tall with neverending legs that would lend themselves to Hela's 6'6" appearance, pale complexion with cheekbones that can cut glass as befitting the Norse Goddess of Death, and has proved that she can play thoroughly wicked in 'A Golden Compass'.

EDIT: Saying that, I dont even know if Hela's going to feature at some point. One would assume she would somewhere along the line.

Olivia Wilde for Karnilla

I'd be happy to see Olivia Wilde in anything, to be honest.

Very good call, Brian!

 

[Brian Braddock]

Cheers;

I get one every once in a while -Next one should be about 2026.

 

[Canis Sapiens]

Lol!

It's worth waiting, so I'll be there!

 

[Brian Braddock]

Heh, hopefully we've had a fair few new Marvel films by that time.

 

[louiebling$]

I'd love to see Eva Green as Sif, if they want a famous actress.

Hey I casted her First

 

[FaT_tONle]

Why do I have a feeling Gemma Arterton will slip into this film?

Not to mention.... she is actually young...

 

[Project862006]

[Project862006]

double post

 

[Still A ThorFan]

We have our Thor. Shouldn't this thread be closed?

 

[BestGirl]

^This seems to have turned into the Cast Everyone but Thor thread.

 

[chiefchirpa]

Because the other threads are short & empty, we still want to pile in here. t:

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, Thor is still the title of the movie as well, so you can look at it that way and consider this a casting thread for any role in the movie.

 

[Canis Sapiens]

Hey I casted her First

Hey, you know what they say about great minds...

 

[Project862006]

she was great in dreamers you know because she got naked !!!!!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

While I certainly didn't mind that part, I thought she gave a great performance all around in The Dreamers.

 

[Sasquatch]

Dreamers... who else was in that, he asked because he's too lazy to search for himself.
