    After months of waiting and speculation, it appears we may finally have our Thor.  According to an exclusive at Deadline Hollywood, Austrailian actor Chris Hemsworth has been chosen.  Chris who?  He might look very familiar if you just saw Star Trek.  He played George Kirk, father to James T. Kirk (Chris Pine).

    It seems that when he first read for the part, he wasn't given a test screen because the casting director passed on him.  He was later given another chance and blew everyone away.  Guess we'll have to see if the casting director had any idea what they were talking about.

    Now that Thor's been cast, let's hope they actually begin filming soon.  The movie has a pushed back the original July 16, 2010 release date. Last I heard, it was moved to June 17, 2011 but Deadline Hollywood is listing it as May 20, 2011.  Either way, let's get this thing going.

    What do you think of this choice?  Does he look like he could be Thor?

    O.K., I just read Methos' post and commented.  I think G-Man expalined himself although he didn't need it.  Hopefully Darkchild is just giving G a ribbing.  Like I said on Methos' page, I can see some resemblance.....SOME....to a young Thor in his face, but that is about it.  He looks rather slim.  As we ALL know, Thor is a bit muscular to say the very least.  I'll also repeat this:  Why do the studios keep choosing Aussie actors for the super hero roles?  Are they cheaper? (I'm not complaining, just observing)  Bwa Haa Haa....Anyway, I am really on the fence about this news, but at the very least...something is moving towards the film getting started.

    Dude I thought he looked solid in Star Trek, looks like he could be a leading man. Besides, those Australian actors have a good history in Marvel movies.

    I think Pix meant in general, not even in the movie. Just watch him sit around for an hour and a half on the beach or something.

    I get that.  I was kidding.  I was thinking maybe Pix would take a long bathroom break or get some refills on popcorn to avoid being in the theater for more than 90 minutes.

    Bulking up for a role is a relatively easy thing to do. Look at the weight differential between Christian Bale's performance in The Machinist vs. Batman Begins. He went from 130 to 230 in 6 months.

    I reckon he could be Thor.. He's blondish, male and reasonably good looking.. If he's an average actor I'm sure it will be fine. To be honest I don't think it's the actors who cock the films up.. Its the directors and writers who ruin the roles and story.

    That is possibly the most half-assed, apathetic, pointless comment I've ever made.. And I've made a few. Apologies.

    Do you seriously think he won't be hulked out for the movie? It's not scheduled for release until 2011. I also seriously doubt he'll grow out his hair. They'll almost definitely use a wig.

    Hugh Jackman and Robert Downey Jr. had little trouble bulking up for their respective roles, I don't think this will be any different. As for the wig, chances are very good you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

    Not meaning to sound negative
    But I think a Thor movie is totaly a bad idea.

    Theres no way they can make this movie without staying true to the comics and not making it look 'cheesy' .....
