After Mjolnir's arrival on Earth was teased at the end of Iron Man 2, the God of Thunder made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut the following year with 2011's Thor. Chris Hemsworth suited up as the character, but when the casting process was still taking place, many fans (on this very site, believe it or not) wanted WWE Superstar Triple H to play the character!
While it's unlikely Marvel Studios ever considered casting "The Game," you can (coincidentally) sort of see him in this very early design for the iconic hero before Chris Hemsworth was chosen.
It's a cool, slightly more Viking take on the Asgardian hero, and definitely a badass design. Thor even has some tattoos, while his hammer looks more like a mallet than the Mjolnir from the comics. This could have worked in live-action, but Marvel Studios ultimately ended up embracing the source material.
