Thor

Release Date:
2009 (though in doubt due to strikes)

Summary:
Descended from Norse gods, Thor nearly started a war by violating a truce with his family's ancient enemy --the Frost Giants. Odin, his father, banished the young god of thunder to Earth without his memory, to teach Thor how to behave as a mere mortal. After a decade as an earthly doctor, Donald Blake was drawn to Norway, and a subsequent encounter with a race of warmongering aliens. While hiding out in a cave, Blake found a mysterious wooden cane that turned out to be the enchanted hammer Mjolnir -- which transformed him back into the mighty Thor. He drove off the alien invaders and took his place with the Avengers. Shaking off the Blake persona, Thor was soon forced to assume the human identity of EMS technician Jake Olsen. Thor is forever torn between his divine home -- the hallowed halls of Asgard -- and the troubled lands of his adopted home, Earth.

In an odd bit of news, it seems Marvel offered current James Bond actor, Daniel Craig the role of Thor, but he turned it down saying, "It would be too much of a power trip playing both James Bond and the mighty Thor." Good move Daniel. Who the hell is making these bonehead decisions at Marvel?

if the film was to star triple h as thor it would die a thousand deaths! why would marvel backstep to the early 90's to cast a person that is known for being a passable wrestler? The Rock hasnt done a great deal of noteworthy films so not a great example! i remember seeing triple h's acting skills in blade 3 and to be honest he was more then dire in fact every scene with him in was hulk hogan cringe worthy level! Even wwe films canceled his film project because even they know he could not carry a film his acting is beyond weak at best. Hit a home run my ass

I have to agree. Triple H is a horrible actor. If this film follows the summary at the top of the page it will probably suck as well. If it's handled with a kind of Lord of the Rings flair or something where Thor is treated with the respect he deserves (unlike in the TV movie the Return of the Incredible Hulk) this movie could work.
