Now this is interesting and I’m all for it, Marvel Studios has recently posted a very short clip titled “Marvel One-Shot: The Consultant”, which is to appear exclusively on the upcoming Thor Blu-ray.

Kinda goes along with what we thought Chris Hemsworth playing the Mighty Thor would look like, however it would be cool for Mjolnir to be a hair bigger.

Anthony Hopkins has been cast in “Thor,” in the Marvel Studios production that is set to start shooting sometime in January and has a release date of May 20, 2011. Hopkins will play Odin, the king of Asgard and the father of Thor and step father of Loki (if they stick with the comic, in the movie they may be real brothers). Chris Hemsworth is playing Thor, and Tom Hiddelston plays his nemesis, Loki.

Natalie Portman is also set to play Thor’s love interest, Jane Foster.

The pic was scripted by Mark Protosevich and Zack Stentz & Ashley Miller. The Mighty Thor is a powerful but arrogant warrior of Asgard, but after his reckless actions reignite an ancient war, his father banishes him to Earth to live among humans. He learns the meaning of heroism when he stands tall as his arch enemy from home sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.

According to Hollywood Reporter two more actors have been added to director Kenneth Branagh’s big screen Thor adaptation for Marvel Studios. Jaimie Alexander and Colm Feore join Chris Hemsworth, already cast as Thor; Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki, the god of mischief who serves as the movie’s villain; and Natalie Portman is Thor’s human love, Jane Foster.

Jaimie Alexander is reportedly playing Sif, a skilled Asgardian warrior who can hold her own against any man and Thors ummm… other love interest. Alexander is best known as the character “Jessi XX” on 33 episodes of the TV series Kyle XY.

Feore’s character is apparently shrouded in mystery, the studio isn’t even sending the actors the script, oh the drama.

The movie’s story centers on Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions re-ignite an ancient war. As punishment, Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans. Once here, he learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends dark forces of Asgard to invade Earth.

George Kirk to play Thor?

It seems rumors are all over the web today about the Aussie actor Chris Hemsworth being in final negotiations to play the big screen adaptation of the Marvel Comics character Thor.

If you’re unfamiliar with the story of Thor, he’s a hammer wielding Norse God who’s been banished to earth by his father Odin (king of the Norse gods) to teach him about humility and humanity. You see, Thor happens to like us little people and joins up with the Avengers to defend us from time to time.

Speaking of Avengers, I guess this means we know who will be playing the character in Marvel’s planned Avengers film in 2012. Unless he botches up the role and Marvel does a recast (Punisher, Sabertooth, Beast, uhh Hulk)

Hemsworth will also take the role originally played by Patrick Swayze in the remake of Red Dawn… a classic from 1984 and if you haven’t seen it you’d better get on it now before the Russians attack by commuter jets and you’re unrepaired.
