Will Alexander Skarsgard Be Thor?

Could Alexander Skarsgard be trading in his vampire fangs for the hammer of a Norse Thunder God? According to an eagle-eyed fan over at Latino Review, the True Blood star was seen at lunch with Thor director Kenneth Branagh.

The Latino Review folks confirmed that Branagh was in the restaurant that day, so the fact that Branagh and Skarsgard were having lunch together seems to be legitimate at least. It's also worth noting that Skarsgard and Branagh are both represented by the same talent agency.

Skarsgard certainly fits the physical description provided in this casting call obtained by Corona Coming Attractions, and his character on True Blood, Eric Northman, is also an ancient Viking warrior.

Don't take this one as confirmation just yet, but the possibility of seeing Skarsgard in the lead of Thor certainly seems to be there.

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

    He has a resemblence of him. He does need to bulk up. Never seen True Blood. Will check it out. I hope this guy can act. I want to see somebody that looks like him but also who can act. I dont want to see this movie turn out bad. Thor is one of my favorite charecters. So hope they do get someone one can do a good job with the God of Thunder.

    Thor is a pompous looking character anyway. Like Comrade said. If he can pull his weight, sweet.

    Also, this guy looks really pompous in pics, but that doesn't matter I guess.

    Well, i guess its better than a guy who can't act period. But I am still hoping they get someone better. Please.

    Truth be told, I am the most interested in the Cap movie. i mean, I can't wait for 2011. Hobbit, Batman 3, Captain America. Damn.

    He's a relatively unknown actor(except to True Blood fans) with at least some experience in acting, so let's see what he's got. Judging by images, he looks the part
