He may have acted in a lot of other movies and played an impressive range of other characters, but Colm Feore will always, forever and ever, be the Lord Marshall from THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK in my eyes. So when he (out of contractual requirement) plays it coy when talking about his role in THOR, I can’t help picturing the emperor of the Necromongers throwing down with Thor. Hey - - Vin Diesel’s finally getting around to do the third Riddick movie, maybe this is the first sign that a clandestine smoke screen is in place to eventually have Riddick join the Avengers.

Nah, that would just be too crazy - - but it’s amusing to imagine, if only for a minute. Feore isn’t allowed to talk about his experience with THOR, other than to say that his make-up took five hours to put on.  Since Loki’s already been spoken for, I’d say he’s probably either playing Surtur the demon or Malekith the dark elf.  There’s no way they’re having him play a heroic character and I’m sure it’s a creature, since I seriously doubt the make-up team needed five hours to powder his forehead.

Five hours in the make-up chair likely isn’t too comfortable - - it's probably as uncomfortable as walking around in a Viking outfit for four months. In a quick interview with SHH, Chris Hemsworth related that wearing Thor’s costume got progressively less comfortable throughout the long shoot. He took comfort in the fact that it looked cool, though, and can breathe easy, now, since he’s just finished shooting his portion of the movie. With a solid year left before the movie’s release date, Marvel’s crew got a (dare I say) comfortable amount of time to finesse all the effects and (possibly) even convert THOR into 3D.

Could he be playing a character that is not Thor related, instead a Marvel U character?

Has anything been said about Balder's status in the movie yet?

Balder didn't play a great or significant role in the Thor - Lore until recently Wando so i doubt it.

if there is any godamned 3d in this movie I will personally not go see it.

Maybe he'll be Tyr, the Frost Giant.

LOL i rememeber that
 
but their going to bring out the "Avengers" movie so they are almost forced to make an introduction to the characters so they understand the broad storyline of it all together.

" @Om1kron: Define "any godamned 3d" "

But c'mon Asgard with the rainbow bridge D: (would add a tad bit flare)
 
but i can also live without ; ) guess two versions would be appropriate then?

" Wait, Chris Helmsworth's bits are already filmed?  I don't know if I like the sounds of that at all.   Why do these actors complain and moan about having to wear costumes and such?  *waah, frikkin' waaahh*   Now I don't know if I am excited to see Thor.    "

" do people even want a thor movie i never know he was such a big deal last thor i saw on screen was opposite lou ferrigno in a hulk movie "

still hoping they water down the Ye ad Thee's in the movie. 

He could be Beta-Ray

" He could be Beta-Ray "

I think Malekith would be an excellent guess, he would go very well with Loki. Although I wonder, if the dark elves are in the movie, how are they going to look? Hopefully bad ass.

 
I've only gotten into Thor in the past couple of years, but I am very excited about this movie, and I hope it is NOTHING like Chronicles of Riddick.   
 
I personally hated Chronicles because it was too over-the-top and fantastical as opposed to the down-to-earth realism (relative to the sci-fi genre) of Pitch Black.  It felt like a totally different universe than the first film.  Pitch black was a great, bare-bones survival flick whereas Chronicles was just dumb, pretentious and boring, sort of like the Scorpion King meets Dune.   Even if I forget about Pitch Black entirely, and just consider Chronicles per se, there is still no redeeming that movie.
 
This is not to say that I want Thor to be like Pitch Black.  Thor does belong in a grandiose environment (much moreso than Riddick).  I'm just saying that Chronicles felt like they handed the keys to the franchise over to a drunk 8 year old who then drove it off a cliff.  The sad part is that I really like the character of Riddick when he is done right, and I wish I could see him in another good movie.
 
Anyway, you might ask how I can be interested in Thor at all if I hate over-the-top fantastical movies.  Well, I don't hate them.  It just depends how they are done.  If the movie seems like it is earnestly trying to tell a good story, then I am game.  However, if it seems like it's just trying to be epic for the sake of being epic, and leaves the story totally hollow, then count me out.  Hopefully, Thor will have some real substance to it, not just a mish-mash of grandiose sets and mindless action, like Chronicles. 
 
 Riddick as an Avenger?  Ha!  Maybe as a Thunderbolt or Dark Avenger.  That might be cool.
 
I will always think of Colm as Legion from Stephen King's Storm of the Century.  Man, he was creepy as hell in that role.

WOW nice thinking! "

huh, that's odd...CV has him credited in almost 200 issues of the long-running Thor series... "

Mangog is possible. 

what if he's playing ulik, or skurge the executioner

YOU KEEP WHAT YOU KILL!

Not Balder, he wouldn't need the make-up.  possibly Malekeith, or Ulik.  Most likely he will be playing Ymir the Lord the frost Giants or a Jotunheim Giant.

What if he plays a Skrull? Hours in the makeup chair? 
A character actor who's used to both disappearing into roles and playing the heavy? 

" I'll always remember him as the guy from Stephen King's Storm of the Century. "

I don't know why but I have always found him better off playing 
 

 "Chris Hemsworth related that wearing Thor’s costume got progressively less comfortable throughout the long shoot. He took comfort in the fact that it looked cool, though"
 
This guy...... What a thing to say :D

I hope BRB will make a cameo.. of some sorts.

He would of made a great Loki I think.

My gut is telling me Kang the Conqueror for some reason...
