Check out these new info tibits, including a cast addition, and twitter reports.
First, on Thor's IMDB Profile, a guy by the name of,John Bailey, has been cast as a SHIELD Guard
Could this mean that Marvel could have filmed some earth scenes, while on the soundstage, in Manhattan Beach. Maybe this guy would be apart of SHIELD Agent, Phil Coulson's entourage, like in
Iron Man.

That brings me to my next bit of info. A tweeter tweets the following that adds to the possiblity of Marvel filming earth scenes on the soundstage already:
"Had a class with a SHIELD agent today who said he is shooting scenes for Thor next week! :)
10:00 PM Jan 29th "
"At one point he goes "I was in Iron Man and Iron Man 2 and am shooting Thor next week" and inside I went SJGSFDIUDGSFJB!
10:05 PM Jan 29th "
Then our very own CBM Editor,
MultiPurposePoni, asked something about the subject:
"What the hell kind of class were YOU in?
10:09 PM Jan 29th
Her reply was:
"@Poni_Boy Haha he is one of my acting teachers
10:34 PM Jan 29th"
If you haven't noticed already, these were posted way back on the 29th of January, so maybe they have already did earth scenes before the crew moves to Santa Fe, New Mexico.

My next bit of info doesn't reveal much, but is still interesting. A tweet from a guy who makes kilts:
"Just back from picking up lunch supplies at "The Butcher & The Baker and run into Colm Feore who's in the midst of filming "Thor"
12:10 PM Feb 11th "
I had almost forgot Colm Feore was even in this film. Great to hear.

Last, from
BBC News, a lucky writer got the chance to join his mentor, Kenneth Branagh, once again on the set of Thor. From BBC News:
Keri Collins, 31, who lives near Chepstow, Monmouthshire, is flying out to Los Angeles this month.
Actor, director and producer Branagh has been mentoring Collins as part of a scheme for emerging UK talent.
Branagh's film version of the Marvel comic book features stars such as Sir Anthony Hopkins and Natalie Portman.
Collins, who will "work shadow" Branagh for a week, said the opportunity was "fantastic".
"Hopefully, as my career develops, I'll end up working on big films but it's such a big film - you can go through your entire career and never work on such a big film," he said.
Thor, which first appeared in Marvel's comics in 1962, is due to be released next year. Filming started last month.
In the film, the warrior Thor is banished to Earth after reigniting an ancient war.
When I asked for Ken as my mentor, I had no idea he was doing Thor or doing anything that big
Keri Collins
Once there, he comes to humanity's aid when invaders arrive from his home land of Asgard.
"I'm going to the studio set in Los Angeles which will be my first time on a proper film sound stage," said Collins.
"It's amazing he's amenable to me doing it really - for me being there for a week.
"When I asked for Ken as my mentor, I had no idea he was doing Thor or doing anything that big."
Thats all folks. Give your thought on the roundup below.
