Hey folks, Ain't-It-Cool-News is reporting that Matthias Schweighöfer is in running for THOR, but he also mentions Robert & Jude. Here is what the article stated:

According to actor, Matthias Schweighöfer, who you may have seen in VALKYRIE or RED BARON - in an article in the German edition of Gentlemen's Quarterly aka GQ, he states that he's in the running for a role in Branagh's THOR, but he also mentions that Jude Law and Robert DeNiro have joined the cast.

There isn't another source yet, so I don't know how you guys should take this. I'll do more research.

Hmmm...not sure if I believe this. Law is in Holmes with Downey Jr so its possible that he may have convinced him to be in a CBM and the guy is in a Shakespeare play of some sort right now so Im sure that Brannagh could convince him to join the cast but DeNiro seems like a long shot!

Maybe Law could be Donald Blake?

I have no idea who DeNiro could be though, should the rumor be true.

Jude Law might be ok... but Robert DeNiro? Really?
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 10/17/2009, 8:02 PM
I guess I could see Law as Fandral...Im still puzzled over DeNiro though!

Hard to say. Man that German kid looks young. Maybe he's playing a boyhood pal of Thor's or something. Maybe a young Balder the Brave.

@luffy, sigh..


I can't imagine Deniro playing anybody in Thor. Maybe a cameo as a taxi driver?
GUNSMITH
GUNSMITH - 10/17/2009, 8:07 PM
WHAT DENIRO PLAYING? ODIN? ICE GIANT?

I can see Law in it. But DeNeiro? I like DeNeiro and I think he woukld be great in a CBM, but not Thor. Maybe he will be in the modern Earth set part of the film...

But he is a good actor.

If DeNiro is in the movie, there is no way he'll have a small part. He's way too big to have in a small role, to the studios at least.

Though I really don't think he'd fit in the Thor universe, should the rumor be true of course.

Jude law as the She Hulk? Preposterous ! Yet intriguing!!!

LEEE777 - 10/18/2009, 4:00 AM
SHIB @ Lmao!!! : D

MovieLad @ Terrible choice for DD lol, but i agree with ya IF DE NIRO did a MARVEL it would he would be perfect as top billing for a PUNISHER movie, infact it would put PUNISHER back on the map at the movies!!! Bring back TOM JANE and the PUNISHER movie poster alone would bring 'em in, Gold!!

TYLER @ You are deff right there on THOR.

And Hell Yes to this!!!

Ugh...Jude Law as Daredevil is a horrible choice!

As for DeNiro, how about Dum Dum Dugan, lol? Obviously thats not a Thor character but I actually think he'd be pretty good in that role!

dum

No to robert deniro.

@ josh

see, i like dum dum dugan, but i always pictured him as being a little more "red necky", if you know what i mean? something deniro, isn't. but who knows, maybe he'll be a frost giant, lol.

Hawksblueyes - 10/18/2009, 7:27 AM
Corndogburglar-----Deniro played a badass redneck killer in Cape Fear.

Remember that the story apparently doesn't all take place in Asgard. De Niro could just be some guy from NY. He plays them well. Or somebody's dad?
GUNSMITH
GUNSMITH - 10/18/2009, 8:46 AM
TRUE DENIRO COULD BE PLAYING NATALIE PORTMAN'S DAD...HEY THOR MEET THE FOCKERS..

i thought that branagh's previous collaboration with de niro really might be an early indication that branagh knows what to do when the subject matter of a film has elements that are both dark, serious and stern as well as fantastical to the point of near-absurdism. in 'mary shelley's frankenstein' i really enjoyed the collision of the sort of whimsical, period-melodrama with the achingly physical, literal life of the monster. i expect good things with this upcomingt thor project.

by the by, merkasylum...i agree with you that de niro will likely not be playing an otherworldly immortal...he's likely to be someone encountered in the 'real' world of the film.

joshw24...you are absolutely right about how awful a pick jude law is for daredevil. it's this same problem that is so contagious these days when it comes to casting comic book heroes: when films are made about heroes who exist in the comic book source material as grown men of a certain age and are cast as permanent adolescent-types...ala brandon routh as the man of steel.

i mean, i like jude law. he's a terrific actor and a master of creating character voices and mannerisms. however, when he plays dark it comes out creepy, smarmy, nutty dark--as in 'midnight in the garden of good and evil' and 'road to perdition.' law does not have enough of a girthy, syrupy, strong, harshly pensive, quiet-type way about him to get to the center of matt murdoch or daredevil.

inlovewiththeregencyelf-- right on!

However, I don't think it's that much of a stretch for Deniro to play an immortal. Deniro's portrayal of Frankenstein was completely shocking to me and his performance was complex and full of emotion. To me, it was some of his best work.

At the time I didn't always know who was going to be in the movie I was going to see and I actually didn't know it was him until I saw his name in the credits.
