Kevin McKidd Still in Talks for Thor

While he hasn't been cast yet, it seems Kevin McKidd is certainly eager to pick up that hammer. IGN ran into McKidd at the premiere of Punisher: War Zone, and he said he's still in the running for the lead role in Thor.

McKidd, who starred in Journeyman, Rome and currently appears in Grey's Anatomy, did add that there was "some back and forth" regarding the project, but was excited about the film now that Kenneth Brannagh has been attached to direct.

Marvel is eyeing up a July 16, 2010 release date for Thor. We'll certainly keep you updated on any developments surrounding this film.

Thor was released May 6th, 2011 and stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Stellan Skarsgård, Kat Dennings, Clark Gregg, Idris Elba. The film is directed by Kenneth Branagh.

    Now that Dolph Lundgren is going to be in Stallone's new movie, he could grow his hair longer and be considered. Just a thought. But then again, how old is he now?

    Why is everyone freaking out he doesn't look that bad. Who would you rather have him or somebody random like Tom Cruise lol?

    Maybe if they cut off his face and put it on Jeep Sweson he could be Thor. Oh crap wait, Jeep Swenson died.

    I'm sorry, but I disagree. He is not anywhere near as tall, or powerful looking as a god. Sorry.

    I heard this guy was being considered, but then nothing. Now it seems he's still in talks. I'm not really familiar with him, but he looks the part

    I was kind of excited when Daniel Craig was going to be asked, but he shot that down quickly. This guy looks the part, and I remember him as being good in "Rome", but Valhalla is a different kind of ancient...
