Thor vs donald blake?????

[chiefchirpa]

Different actor.

Donald Blake - Branagh? Hehe, that would be inexpensive.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I could see it working.

 

[Project862006]

Donald Blake muut of really let himself go then LOL

 

[Raiden]

Thor and Blake aren't as different as Banner and Hulk, so I don't see the need to cast two actors for these two roles. With the right makeup and movie magic, Thor can look like Blake, and vise versa.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I say different actors. Donald Blake should look like a total waif, someone in the mold of Daniel Faraday from Lost.

 

[Project862006]

should cast Jesse Spencer(House ) for Donald Blake

looks enough like hemsworth

and he plays a doctor on house so there you go lol

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Edit - nvm

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

So could I.

 

[RockSP]

looks enough like hemsworth

Does Blake really need to look like Thor, though?

 

[Project862006]

said hemsworth not Thor lol they could resemblance each other a little bit

Genius! Someone get Jeremy Davies on the phone.

Nope. In the comics, Odin modeled Blake on a real human being named Keith Kincaid, so Blake would look like that human, not Thor. Blake may have only just become a fully separate personality in the current volume of the comics, but Blake and Thor have always been totally separate bodies, at least.

Didn't know that.

I don't really see the point of casting an actor for Blake who looks a lot like the actor for Thor. If they are doing the whole Blake/Thor secret id thing it would seem to me Blake should look very different.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

If Blake is just tacked on at the end to show how Thor winds up on present-day Earth, it doesn't really matter who they cast. That's why I wouldn't even mind Branagh himself playing the role. Barring that, just cast any young actor of average height with an average build, give him a cane and some hair dye if necessary, and shoot his 5 minutes of screentime over a day. Simple. I just don't think Thor and Blake should be played by the same actor because that's not true to the characters.

7-5 in favor of two actors

 

[Bren]

Different actors, please. (but would prefer no Blake anyway...).

 

[bossman550]

^ y

 

[supraman]

they should have different actors. like someone else mentioned It would be to much like superman....hey look I put on glasses everyones a dumbass and cant recognize me.

edit: i joined this forum in 2004 and only have 53 post lol

That's assuming he goes back and forth between Thor and Blake. It may not be a "secret identity" story. It might be more like the Ultimate version and Donald Blake simply finds the hammer, turns into Thor and stays that way. That's the option I'd prefer. We've seen heroes struggle to hide their identities for ages now. And, IMO, it's been done with more interesting alter egos than Dr Blake. I'd rather see him interact with Jane Foster and his old friends who don't know what to think of this new bizarre version of the man they love. I think that would make a better sub-plot than having Donald Blake sneak away all the time to change his identity like pretty much every other superhero.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The less Ultimate influence, the better. I love the element of a god being bound to a frail human as penance for his arrogance, and you need two physically different actors for that. So I'm hoping for separate actors.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

I was just thinking, you know who could be a good Blake...
Casey Affleck

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That could be cool. Kind of a big name for what would likely be a really small part, though.

 

[bossman550]

^ true.

 

[Raiden]

I really don't see the point of casting two actors for the dual role of Thor/Blake, because I want the same actor who not only play the meaty part of the Mighty Thor, but also the quieter scenes of Blake where he can get most of the acting chops in. Perhaps there will be some similarities with Clark/Superman, but since it's a film there will be some modification to the character anyway. I trust Branagh to do the right thing for this issue.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Ideally, the movie would feature a well-rounded Thor first and foremost, so Hemsworth would have more than enough to work his acting chops on in that role. Blake doesn't really need to have a huge presence; he's basically just Thor's reason for hanging around Earth and empathizing with humans.

 

[alexdunn]

I think they should have the same actor, but put Blake in a wheelchair to seperate to two moreso, rather than just a cane.
