More Cast Additions For Marvel's Thor
According to the Internet Movie Database(IMDB), a few more folks has been added to the cast. All but one, are listed as being uncredited, meaning they'll probably just be background people. Check It Out.
First up, R. Michael David is listed as "Counselor (as Michael Rebeiro). His film history includes The Ring Two.
His character will most likely be on earth, rather than up in Asgard.

Next,
Richard Cetrone, whos film history includes mostly stunts, and background work. It seems he won't be anything different in Thor, being listed uncredited as
Captain Jotun. Marvel seems to like working with similar people in these recent films, being that Richard did stunt work Iron Man & the upcoming sequel.
For some possible background info on his character,(via Wikipedia)
A Jötunn (Jotunn or Jotun)is a giant in Norse mythology, a member of a race of nature spirits with superhuman strength, separated into categories such as frost giants, fire giants, sea giants and storm giants. Their otherworldly homeland is Jötunheimr, one of the nine worlds of Norse cosmology, separated from Midgard, the world of humans, by high mountains or dense forests. Other place names are also associated with them, including Niflheimr, Utgarðr and Járnviðr. In some legends and myths they are described as having the same height as humans.
Some of the jötnar are attributed with hideous appearances – claws, fangs, and deformed features, apart from a generally hideous size. Some of them may even have many heads, such as Thrivaldi who had nine of them, or an overall non-humanoid shape; so were Jörmungandr and Fenrir, two of the children of Loki. ____________________________________________________________________________________________
Last,
Stephen Oyoung, whos film history is similar, appearing in the recent film, Legion, and has did stunt work for
Red Dawn(2010), which stars this film's lead, Chris Hemsworth. Stephen's character is
Einherjar Guard.
Here is some possible background info on the "Einherjar" part of his character (via Wikipedia)
In Norse mythology, the einherjar (Old Norse "lone fighters"[1]) are those that have died in battle and are brought to Valhalla by valkyries. In Valhalla, the einherjar eat their fill of the nightly-resurrecting beast Sæhrímnir, and are brought their fill of mead (from the udders of the goat Heiðrún) by valkyries. The einherjar prepare daily for the events of Ragnarök, when they will advance for an immense battle at the field of Vígríðr.
So, I guess he'll be the gaurds of Valhalla, as Heimdall gaurds Asgard ____________________________________________________________________________________________
MarvelFreshman: I can just feel from deep within, that this film will be epic. I can truly say that Thor would be the only film I would want to see, if it weren't for the
Marvel Cinematic Universe reeling me into Iron Man & Captain America. What do you think?
