Kevin McKidd Out as Thor?

I am still waiting to hear that they are in talks with Karl Urban.

I wasn't dissing him for not knowing his comic books, I was dissing him for not knowing his Norse mythology ;)

off of*

Thor is a Marvel character based of the actual Norse God. He's one of the lesser cool Marvel characters but somehow he is in The Avengers team... even though Spiderman would be a better replacement but that's just me.

No...gay was Dargo with the futuristic "mullet". I'm not going to dis on someone for not knowing their comic books, but if you are only a fan of the movies, Gotham, try reading the comics. You'll open your eyes to some whoopass shit.

Sounds Gay....lol

In case you failed middle school Gotham Knight, Thor is the Norse God of Thunder, son of Odin, and half-brother of the trickster God, Loki.

I don't even know what is "Thor" lol.

I CAN SEE YER POINT! WAS A GOOD CHOICE FOR SUPERMAN, HOPEFULLY MARVEL WILL GET THIS RIGHT!

To answer your question Happyjack, I was going with Aaron Eckhart, but Chad pointed out why that would never happen. I personally disagree with his opinion Eckhart's not a Thor type, but he's right that Marvel wouldn't hire him because of TDK. I was just under the impression that the days of getting actors who just have the build but none of the acting chops was over. Downey as Iron Man, Norton as Banner, even Maguire as Spider-Man because he doesn't necessarily look like Peter Parker but he's got that geeky quality to him that landed him the gig in the first place and he's a good actor. Like I've BEEN saying, a great actor will take the time to bulk up. BUT, by the looks of it, they're looking for an unknown, so I guess it doesn't matter. It worked for Superman, hopefully it works for Thor. I just don't like the age they're looking for

O SORRY VIS. WHO DO YER THINK?

David Wenham=Thor

Thanks Vamp for clarifying for me haha. Blade Trinity and Wolverine Origin movie are completely different films and he was the only good thing about Blade Trinity. But that movie flopped. I'm talking about a leading role as a villian or a hero. There's no way Eckhart would be Thor. Marvel would say no because #1, he doesn't look like a Thor type, #2, he was in one of the most successful movies of all time AS A MAIN VILLIAN FOR A DC CHARACTER. Basically that's like having Christian Bale playing The Flash. Wouldn't make sense.

right now we are stumped as to who can properly play Thor. I am sure there are plenty of talented actors who can pull it off. We are just praying that they makers of this movie to put some losers like DiCaprio or Pitt into the role. I would rather have fucking Vern Troyer play Thor than those two. Of course seeing him wield Mjölnir would be the shits!! lol

You misunderstood me, Happyjack. I was explaining why I DON'T want Karl Urban

Urban sounds good.

I think we should wait until we hear more on how the story goes. But Eckhart would be good for Donald Blake. I'll hold out for Urban as Thor. Big question in my mind right now - is who will they get to play Odin, the Warriors Three: Volstagg, Hogun, and Fandral. And who, most importantly, will play Lady Sif (cuz damn she's hot!)?? If they are shown at all. But if you are going to make a movie about the God of Thunder, these other characters are equally important.

YOUR RIGHT VIS! KARL URBAN IS THE MAN FOR THE JOB!

You people are thinking about body build, not performance. I'd rather have a great actor who'd need to bulk up. Anybody can get fit, but only a select few would have the star power and acting chops to play a God of Thunder

Who is the perfect actor for the role of Thor and Doctor Donald Blake?

mid 20's, six feet, handsome, natural warrior.... sign me up!

I take that back. He wasn't a Viking (except by birth). he was raised by the Natives. But I bet he could still pull off the dialect pretty good.

Urban - Yes, Craig - No. Urban can handle heavy weapons as he has proved in 'Pathfinder'. He was also a Viking in that movie. If he has to use any Nordic dialect he would be perfect. He's got height and brawn. He would still have to bulk up some though. I have nothing against Craig other than that is not how I want to picture Thor.

Too bad. Hope they pick someone better.

I hope they get someone who looks like they would be thor but also that they can act. This is one film I dont want to see done bad.

Kirk - i didn't mean for Lutz to play Thor as he did Groo, totally different characters. But if he bulked up with a bit more weight and with the right look....

Jason McWHO?

I love the idea of Karl Urban I think he is great, but he is 37. Maybe they will make an exception.

HAHA!

Whoo! Its settled then. Karl it is. I'll get on the phone to my agent. Jk. I wish.
