yo think that would work one being small and criple and one being big and buff
 
I don't thnik there's possibility for an other actor to play Don Blake role.
 
I would prefer two seperate actors to show Thor as a powerful Godlike creature wheras Blake should be very human like.
 
I could almost see, Jesse Spencer, passing as a shorter, skinnier version of Hemsworth
(though he is a little older)
 
Different actor. Don't really want them to do the whole Superman thing.

"Oh you look just like Thor except you don't have long hair, and you walk with a limp. Can't possibly be the same guy."
 
I want two different actors. It adds a change to the whole "secret identity" thing ya know?
 
If they go same actor it's a Clark Kent ripoff... do we really need a 6'3 ripped guy trying to act like a 5'9 crippled, frail human being. You want them to body double and CGI the whole thing throughtout the film? If they are faithful they'll use someone different... even if it's cheezy.
 
Same actor. It'd seem too Hulk like for Thor to be big & heroic, while Blake is weak & scrawny.

If Marvel had the money, I say Benjamin Button it.

They might just have him crash as Thor and in the final Battle, he survives by inhabiting another person's body. We just see a comatose person's eye open.

In the Avengers, we have the person claiming to be a God, but no one believes him.
 
They should use the same actor. It shouldn't be hard to make the difference between Thor and Blake apparent. Use camera tricks to make him look smaller, obviously he'll have shorter hair, and if the actor does his job right, he'll seem like a completely different person, and yet still be enough of the same person for the audience to believe it. You gotta keep the audience invested in the character, and it's a bit tougher to do when he switches actors back and forth.

I mean, we can assume the movie will spend a decent amount of time with Thor as Blake, so I dont think they'll want some other actor playing their lead role for a large portion of the film.
 
Well in the first draft while Thor's been banished to earth all Odin does is strip Thor of his godly powers and immortality and he doesn't hide the fact he calls himself Thor, nobody believes he IS a god which is the only HINT of Ulty Thor we see.
I can't say what happens in the future as to why Blake is involved. Haven't seen ANY of the newer Rewrites.

Personally I don't really want Thor to have a "secret identity". I was never particularly fond of his alter egos. If Blake needs to be in the movie, and I'm not sure he does, this is how I've previously suggested they handle it:

Have two different stories.One being the actual Asgard story and in the other Blake is being haunted by stange visions and dreams of his former life to the point where his friends and collegues think he's losing his mind. And finally he feels compelled to travel to a small Norwegian village and wander off in to the wilderness where he finds a cave. There he digs through the rubble with his bare hands until he finally -exhausted and with bloody hands- finds Mjolnir. And when he touches the hammer there's a bringht light and we see the final flashback from Asgard where he's being send to Earth to learn humility and to protect the people of Midgard. When we return to the cave Blake has turned into Thor and he now remembers everything.

In the seguel I'd like to see him be Thor full time, kind of like he was in the Ultimates, and interact with his old friends who don't know what to think of him now that he has come back with super-powers and claims to be an ancient being from mythology.


If that was the way they did the Blake/Thor connection, I think it would work best with just one actor. Especially since I'd love to see Thor hanging out with people from Blake's life, and for that to really work Thor can't really be a completely different person. He'd have to still be recognizable as the Donald Blake they knew. And I think that would be more entertaining than the secret identity thing, which has been done numerous times with numerous other characters.
 
Different actors for Blake and Thor. Hemsworth should bulk up a bit and someone shorter and smaller should play Blake. Thor's more Captain Marvel/Billy Batson than Superman/Clark Kent. There's an actual physical transformation that takes place when he switches back and forth--one's a human body, the other's a god's body.
 
Definatly different people. Just with a bit of a similar look. Because at the end of the day they are different people/god.
I think it's best represented in the new Thor comic.
 
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the whole humility aspect. Blake was meant to instill humility in Thor, so he sort of needs to be frail and weaker than average. Turning a god into a human and wiping his memory only works to instill humility if he faces adversity as that human. If Thor gets turned into a human who looks as buff and handsome as his godly self, he doesn't really learn anything.
 
Corp the way it was written in the first draft it plays out very well and he does learn humility. YOU didn't want to know what was going on my friend. :D
 
Hemsworth could try pulling the same stunt Bale did for The Machinist. :woot:
 
Call me crazy, but I still don't think Don Blake is in this movie. It's a gut feeling.
 
Yeah, I think word that he has been added to the end of the script is accurate - I highly doubt he has been added to the bulk of the script.
 
Well, if he is in it, he ought to be played be a separate actor. Just say no to 'roided-out Blake.
