He as thor would have been the worst casting idea since Nic Cage as Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider

Thor? I don't think so - he does a great job as Loki tho!

Yeah he would've been pretty bad as Thor, glad he's Loki instead. Reminds me of James Franco auditioning for Spider-Man, but ended up playing Harry Osborn instead.

Ok, look... he's a great actor, and a cool guy, but again?? Seriously, Loki is becoming more exposed than [frick]ing Lady Gaga!
NightForce
NightForce - 10/26/2011, 12:19 PM
And Hiddleston IS Loki. Both of them were born for these roles.

i bet he was never really considered for Thor...they were just stroking his ego...his ok as Loki but i agree with NOLANITE i prefer a more classical Loki

The action is "ginormous"? Could this be considered a spoiler that Giant Man is in the movie?

Apparently he gained 20lbs of muscle for Thor and grew his hair out... IDK, with Hollywood magic he might've looked like THor.

He's starting to look more like Loki espicially in the concept art with the more use of yellow

well...physically, Tom could always pump up to get big...that's not really a problem. the face, though. he just doesn't have that Thor features in his look. dunno...maybe if Tim Burton were to direct a Thor movie, he might have a shot...lol

Don't know why people think Tom is a "little guy", if you see the recent shots, he's about the same height as Chris - i.e. pretty darn tall.

That would have been terrible. And of course it would have been Kevin Fieges' fault. Big bullet dodged.
