Apparently Collins Jr. kicked off online speculation last week when he posted a series of updates on Twitter that seemed to indicate some involvement with Marvel’s live-action “Thor” movie.
But after a chat with MTV he has confirmed that something is indeed in the mix..
“I had a little meeting. I think I can say that much,” Collins told MTV News when asked if he auditioned for a “Thor” role. “['Thor' director] Kenneth Branagh is a bad-ass. I’ve been a fan of his as an actor and I know he’s gonna be amazing as a director for this piece.”
“Believe me, I’m itching to say all kinds of stuff,” he added.
He doesnt go into much detail, but hes certainly enthusiastic about the project..
“It’s going to be a beautiful thing, I’m sure,” said Collins. “It’s an amazing comic book. If you grew up reading these comic books, he was definitely a bad-ass, that guy.”
You might remember Collins from his small role in "Star Trek" as Neros right hand man. But he is best known for his excellent portrayal of killer Perry Smith in "Capote".
So any ideas who he might be playing if hes cast? I have one. And to be honest, im not too frakking happy!
