Warriors Three Cast

[Chewy]

What's gonna happen if Volstaggs has to take on The Punisher in The Avengers movie????

The same thing that will happen when Foggy Nelson gets into a fistfight with Happy Hogan

 

[Project862006]

if they can turn this

into this

Stevenson can be transformed

 

[cosmicherosa]

Kenneth Branagh really likes emotional character actors. These signings go along that path.

 

[Khemik@L]

I think we shouldn't worry about Tadanobu Asano / Hogun's looks:

Nice Find Dude

I think only Marvel Studios characters can crossover to be in each other's films. Punisher: War Zone was Lion's Gate so the Punisher is in the same boat with Spidey/FF/X-Men, Ghost Rider....out of luck.

 

[Watson]

Thor: Chris Hemsworth

Jane Foster: Natalie Portman

Loki: Tom Hiddleston

Odin: Anthony Hopkins

Sif: Jaimie Alexander

Fandral: Stuart Townsend

Hogun: Tadanobu Asano

Volstagg: Ray Stevenson

Malekith: Colm Feore

Heimdall: Stellan Skarsgård

Man is this cast good. Even if the movie sucks (which it won't ) there will be some damn fine acting going on.

 

[marvelboy10]

the casting feels good

I'm curious about stevenson in volstagg. We'll see...

 

[kedrell]

I think they'll do with Stevenson/Volstagg what Fox should have done with the Kingpin...get a tall burly guy and put a fat-suit on him. I just hope they don't screw it up like Fox did with Blob in the Wolverine movie. But then I don't know how big the original actor was in that but it was just so obviously a fat-suit. But then that's Fox and they can't avoid sucking if their lives depended on it. I'm sure it'll work well here though.

 

[Radio_Clash]

Asano! Cool, I'm definitely looking forward to this now.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

a quick and rather simple manip playing around with the idea of Stevenson as volstagg

(basically just used Hagrid (from harry potter) for body, put, rays face on it, then added alil red to the hair and beard, and gave him a helmet)

 

[Stripesy Strip]

What's strange is that a few months ago, I did some fantasy casting and once I passed over John Goodman and Brian Blessed for the role, I kept scrambling my brain about choices for Voldstagg and I thought "what if he wouldn't be the usual fat guy?". Because tall fat guys that can act are rare. So I came up with the idea of Stevenson as Volstagg. I'm not kidding this came through my mind. As a warrior it also would make more sense if he can move and not be this blob that eats. The key is the attitude. If Stevenson can make his character somebody that likes to laugh and eat and enjoy a good living that would work. And I think he can do that. I always thought he was too much of a teddy bear to be The Punisher.

As for the others, I find Townsend as Fandral to be predictable since Townsend as always been a Jude Law wannabee. But I think he'll do a good job at it. Third Warrior, Hogun, I'm the most disappointed in it because he's always been my favorite Asgardian, the ultimate badass and I would rather they had chosen someone like Russel Crowe or somebody with that style of acting. I guess he looks like a Mongol so they picked somebody that played a Mongol. It may makes sense but it's not that inspired.

 

[antmanx68]

I'm all over this. I'm not the biggest Townsend fan but he'll do fine. As far as the other 2 I'm dying to see this movie now. What's his name was awesome in Mongol and Ray can do no wrong. I just got done re-watching Rome, he is the king.

Good to see Ray in another Marvel film, hope he gets another crack at the Punisher (movie could have been better but I thought he was phenomenal.)

But in all honestly, JR-D is nothing but a tall dwarf already

I remember Corp saying that Hogun was of Mongolian Decent.. not exactly Mongolian but Equivalent to a Mongolian.

So wouldn't this be Great?

Well, Duncan was cast as the Kingpin in DD, but he didn't wear a fat suit; he was just tall and muscular, same with Stevenson. I think Branagh will redesign Volstagg, not as a big fat guy, but a tall & strong warrior. I think this is one area I'd welcome a departure from the comics.

 

[Panthro]

I imagine he'll be the next casting we hear about

Here's hoping.

 

[Vartha]

Stevensen was on Rome HBO right?? Well he is tall, has a booming kinda voice with some make up he very easily pulls this off I imagine.


THe thing that does throw me off a bit is Hoggun being...Asian, I mean yeah he always had the Fu-man-chu Stash going, but I NEVER thought of the Grim on being Asian.

Hogun was based on the Hunns or Monguls both of which are Asian based.

 

[Vartha]

I remember Corp saying that Hogun was of Mongolian Decent.. not exactly Mongolian but Equivalent to a Mongolian.

So wouldn't this be Great?

I back corp on this 100% it was never nailed down EXACTLY where Hogun was from but if you look at the last Tales of Asgard book it kind of hints at the area Hugun's from.

 

[antmanx68]

I love that Ray Stevenson is in this, would have been cool to have Kevin McKidd as Fendral, a 13th reunion.

 

[Fresh Prince]

My man Ray Stevenson in Thor!

 

[Sebastos]

Great additions, I like it.

Have you ever seen Asano act? If not, you can't really judge.

Inspired doesn't mean changing **** up for the sake of it BTW.

hmmm.... I stand corrected then. Just never pictured a mongo with a large Mace. Kewl

 

[topdog1]

What's gonna happen if Volstaggs has to take on The Punisher in The Avengers movie????

Since most everyone is ignoring the crap know as War Zone, I guess Thomas Jane will have to take out Volstagg!

Seriously, looking at Chewy's work and seeing them next to their characters is amazing. Marvel certainly knows how to cast!

 

[Webhead2006]

Well i dont know much on the characters myself, as i dont read thor books presently. But i am very curious to see how this all turns out. I am sure kenneth will pull good performances out of everyone.
