This from MTV's Splash Page:-
"Yeah, I met with Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige a few times and the director Kenneth Branagh,” Skarsgard told MTV about rumors that he was one of the last people cut before Chris Hemsworth was chosen to play Thor, “There was definitely some truth in that, yeah.”
Apparently, the casting process got so far along that Skarsgard even filmed an audition in the complete Thor costume, hammer and all. “Yeah", he remembered of slipping into the hero’s threads. “That was pretty fun.”
Skarsgard went on to tell the interviewer that he’ll keep an open mind and remain hopeful to someday land another comic-book-based role. And, since Feige has made recent statements saying that the people he met during the “Thor” auditions could be brought back for other Marvel roles its possible that we may soon see him in a comic book movie yet...
“It depends on the circumstances,” Skarsgard said of a possible role in Captain America or beyond. “It’s pretty hard to say whether I’d take another comic role. It depends on the circumstances - who the director is, and what the character is. But of course I’d be interested in looking into it. I think it’s every little boy’s dream, it would be a person’s dream to play an action hero.”
So, looks like Marvel may already have an idea what costume Thor will be wearing...which would you prefer to see? Classic, Modern or Ultimate?
