Chris Hemsworth Cast As Thor....
K, for those who don't know who Chris Hemsworth is, he played George Kirk in this year's summer hit, Star Trek.
According to our sources, Hemsworth has entered final negotiations to play the lead role in Marvel Studios' upcoming film, Thor. Marvel will be releasing an official statement soon, so stay tuned for that.
Hemsworth was supposedly spotted by a scouting agent in Australia and dragged him to Los Angeles to read for the part. Casting agents at first rejected him early on, but as soon as he his audition was put on tape, the casting agents started singing very different tunes. It was reported that Daniel Craig (Casino Royale) turned down the role, and Hemsworth beat out other candidates such as, Kevin McKidd (Rome), and Triple H (WWE).
Marvel supposedly wanted to finish the casting this month. The film has reportedly been pushed back from July 16, 2010 to March 20, 2011.
All I can say is, "thank god they didn't go with Triple H!!!" I am a big, huge fan of J.J Abrams' Star Trek, and I though Chris Hemsworth did absolutely great as George Kirk. Sure he only had minutes on screen, but that first scene was one of my favorite scenes in the movie! I think he would be great as Thor. I mean, just grow his hair and give him a beard, then voila, Thor!! And I got no doubt he's got the acting chops to play the role!
