Jude Law and Robert DeNiro to Join Thor?

Source:  Ain't It Cool News
According to Ain't It Coll News, it seems that actor Matthias Schweighöfer (Valkyrie) told the German edition of Gentlemen's Quarterly that he is going to have a role in Kenneth Branagh's soon to be made Thor film.

Then the actor said that Jude Law and Robert DeNiro are also attached to the project.

There isn't any word yet on what roles the actors (Schweighöfer included) will have in the film.

That would be the shit... Jude Law disd a great Errol Flynn, so I assume he'd probably be up for Fandral...De Niro for Odin or Hogun.

Hope this is true.

They already have a Loki guys.

to the dude below me:

"Loki would be played by actor Tom Hiddleston, who has worked with Branagh in the past. In June 2009 it was announced by Kevin Feige of Marvel Studios that Chris Hemsworth will play Thor. Feige also mentioned that the film will take place both on modern day Earth and Asgard but Thor's human host, Dr. Donald Blake will not be included. On July 13, 2009 it was announced Natalie Portman will be playing Jane Foster. In September 2009, it was reported that Jaimie Alexander and Colm Feore have joined the cast of Thor. Alexander will portray Sif and Feore's role is presently unknown but is thought to be a villian. According to Swedish news site Ystands Allehanda, Stellan Skarsgard has joined the cast of Thor in an unspecified role."

If Triple H played Thor, there'd be nothing good.

Law looks, and could act a very kool Loki. And DeNiro with a eye pathc, and some make-up added hair and beard could be a realy good Oden. Now what I am wondering, is who will be Thor? I know people have taken shoots at movie actors who was wrestlers, but as for looks, Tripple H of WWE has the looks. But I realyy dont have a idea who could fill the shoes. Dont forget Tripple H was in Blade Trinity, so he has skills to act. Who ever does Thor, whill no dout hold the Sword for the Conan movies in the talks.

Jude Law may make a good addition, but DeNiro? sounds like all the Hollywood elite are now trying to cash in on the comic book genre cash cow films. it's the new trend.

Hmmm...not sure about this.

October 19th, 2009 4:27am
Well...they could be other Asgardians lol

Actually, Jude Law could play Balder...if he's even in the movie. Right now, this just sounds like a rumor.
