The Mighty Thor Might Be McKidd

Judging by the looks. He would be a good thor. Add some long hair and he's got it.

Holy crap, Thor movie news!

Yes, he'll definitely will have to hit the gym hard. However, I'm not expecting him to look like Thor leap from the pages of the comic book. That's just a bit too unrealistic of a demand.

But a promising casting option for sure.

How about Jon Cena? hahaha

But honnestly, Blake's storyline sucks and is waaay to unrealistic to be done on the big screen. I find that, as i posted before, the best, more realistic storyline that could ever be done with this existancial character is IF Loki's plan had succeeded in turning Thor amnesiac and having him realise in an unfortunate turn of events that he IS the god of thunder and would have to re-learn the ropes, so to speak, to be able to get back on the metaphorical horse to go kick Loki's ass for the climax of the movie. After freeing Valhala and Odin from the hands of his idiotic half brother, he would then realise that he has now forged an unbreakable BOND with Humanity and must return to Earth to protect it from evil... Enter Avengers.

Kick that idiotic "secret identity" concept out the door! He's a God! He doesn't need shelter nor food. He is immortal!!! The secret identity has no other use but to assure a superheroe's sustenance. No need in this case.

This is actully pretty dang close to how Thor would look like, still wonder who else might be in the running but so far it look descent. Another concern is how would he sound like as Thor. (hopefully not another Christian Bale).

-KING WILL-

Wow, never thought of Brad Pitt as Thor!?! That's a great idea, don't think he would go for the role unfortunately. :-(

Wow, look at his face, basically perfect for the part. Love the choice, still wondering if I can take the film seriously though. Thor has always been the Aquaman of the Marvel universe to me. Just, have never been able to take him seriously.

Brad Pitt? Seriously? Don't get me wrong, the guy does some good stuff, but NOT Thor. Definitely NOT Thor.
Does he mess up the comics? I don't think so. He's Thor for crying out loud, not atlantean half-breed Aquaman. He IS the Norse god of thunder. Not a douche-tastic jackass who did the League NO GOOD. Thor is an excellent addition to the Avengers and I believe will be done in quite a good way. You can't make him cheesy, but not too human either. He HAS TO do the Shakespearianesque speech, absolutely necessary.

I still like Gerard Butler for the role of Thor.

Too old? Downey Jr. is 43 and Norton is 39...
I guess MARVEL decided they couldn't all be Academy Award actors... (and i was pulling for Russel Crowe)

Oh, well if this McKidd gets, I wish him the best of luck.

Great actor, worked well with Ray Stevenson (aka new punisher) on ROME, he looks the part, got the scottish accent, which isnt all that removed from a danish or nordic one. My ONLY issue more of a concern, not that i care really is he's not that tall. lol.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO the guy that played Sabertooth is perfect for the role he got the look and is a decent actor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

whom ever he was lol :P

Anyone knows his name? I know him as sabertooth :P

Brad Pitt could act the part and would be great.... Acting wise. But I don't think he looks the part at all. Mckidd is more buff than brad is. How about Triple H?

Honestly I think this guy is a poor choice for Thor.. he's a good actor if any of you caught "ROME" on HBO great series to bad it got killed because of of buget concerns. What I don't think Thor needs is some shakesperian actor like this cat. I think if they want to set it up for a series of films and an Avenger's tie in they have to go with a younger guy. Robert Downey Jr works in Iron Man because he's Robert Downey Jr. Also, his real life run in with excess drugs, alcohol all played to the character of Tony Stark. I don't think this guy has the same pluses on his side. I think he's far to short, older and doesn't look very athletic. I guess it comes down to what kind of story they want to tell and where it's going. If we've learned nothing from the likes of business types who want to ring as much money out of everything they do in movies is the bottom line comes first. So don't be surprised if they aim the movie at a younger audience. Think the teen Tony Stark DVD they launched.. all I can say I can say is WTF? on that one.. Brad Pitt might be good but why not an unknown? If the story line is good the special effects awesome it won't matter. Downey was pretty much a B but mostly C list actor for most of his career. Iron Man made him relevant again and put him on the A list. I think a relatively unknown would be a better way to go. Tie the guy up for the long haul.. Avenger movie, THOR sequels and not have to pay the huge payday a seasoned guy like Downey will get now that he's arrived.

I'm not sure on this guy. But when it comes to the shear look of him, Triple H is a good pick and what's the matter with his acting? Didn't you see his stellar performance in Blade Trinity? Haha. Another good physical pick, if the movie was made say 10 years ago, Malibu from Great american Gladiators. Oh wait didn't he play the mechanic in Adventures in Babysitting where the little girl thought he was Thor? I don't see Brad Pitt pulling off the role, the movie needs an actor capable of Arnoldesque proportions (proportions not acting ablity). And Brad is not in danger of being type casted look at his new movie where he plays an old looking guy growing younger. I'm not a huge Thor fan as in that I read the comics but I always like the concept of him, so I don't know the history of the character but for a story line Shaman's suggestion sounds like a good base storyline.

Actually, in Adventures in Babysitting it was Vincent D'Onofrio that was the garage thor. I actually had goosebumps when i saw him as a kid cause i thought for sure it was THOR. It's the closest i got to see in live action though and this movie will remain one of my all time comfort classics.

For some reason, wrestlers suck at acting i really don't know why exactly... but the point is THEY DO!!!!!! The only exception is The Rock but he sucked in Scorpion King.

Why people think of THOR as a half assed wrestler with no acting talent whatsoever, i really don't compute! His concept is touchy enough as it is, why massacre him by giving the role to someone thay get's hit on the head for a living? Do you people WANT a good THOR movie or is this just a huge conspiracy to make sure it sucks ...i wonder.

After saying all of that, I definitely can understand everyone's reluctance to use a wrestler because most of them do suck pretty bad, but, with the right director and coaching anything could be possible. However, one person I do think would be great, and he's not or ever has been a wrestler, not professional anyway, is Vladimir Kulich. He was awesome as Buliwyf, or the more realistic Beo-wulf, in 13th Warrior. He has the real look of a well experienced, veteran nordic warrior. He's definitely has the look, the height, the basic size ( a few months in the gym would do wonders), the accent, and most of all he can act. Plus, I don't think that he is so recognizable that he would take away from the character of Thor. He hasn't done anything since Smoke and Aces, at least not in the States I don't believe.

McKidd looks perfect for the job.

NO WRESTLERS!!

That McKidd guy looks just like the old Kirby drawn Doc. Blake. It seems they may have a problem making him look sufficiently buff for Thor..Same problem for the Captain America movie?

That said, as long as Branagh is directing it, I'm happy..I mean, have you seen Henry V?

We few, we few, we band of Asgardians!

Once more into the breach, dear friends, or we'll close the wall up with our Nordic dead!

Ha Ha!!
