When Matthias Schweighöfer announced he was trying out for "Thor," he said that Law and De Niro had already been cast. It sounded cool when Jude Law was up for a role, but it sure sounded weird when Robert De Niro was thrown in the mix. And then people started to speculate whether it was true.
It turns out that Schweighöfer was either mistaken or just flat out lying when he said this because representatives for both actors have informed us that it was completely false.
But maybe it's the reps that are lying. To keep down a possible surprise. That's unlikely because nothing happens that way. We just have to wait and see.
