Everyone. May I have your attention. We have a Thunder God.
Alright, everyone... deep breaths before you argue aye or nay.

Let's play nice... and remember that Vladimir Kulich was BORN to be the Odinson. Alas, he's too old now, but he may make a awesome Odin.

IGN has the scoop on who is cast as the wielder of Mjolnir

Captain Kirk's father.. well, the young actor who played him, is Thor, God of Thunder for the Marvel movie.
Chris Hemsworth

The young Aussie actor has the potential.. I liked and believed him in the recent Star Trek movie, and he has that face that made me think I had seen him before. But he NEEDS to bulk up. He has to look like he can tango and be a match for either of the movie Hulks.

Back to what a hundreds of years old Thunder God should look like in real life.
I hope they took notes and look at Vladimir's 13th Warrior work for notes.

Should have been... alas... maybe in an alternate universe, they got it right.

For legality:

In THIS picture, yeah, I can see Chris as Thor.

*edit* My bad about the link. fixed!

Sex god? Sure. I've perused the soap caps and they have my stain of approval. I MEAN STAMP. I said stamp.

Heavily-muscled, though? Muh. We've all seen far more mesomorphic physiques. Not better physiques, mind you...it's not a matter of whether he's fit or not, it's a matter of "Wait you guys went looking for a Norse battlegod and this is what you ended up with?"

This Hemsworth guy is a regular Adonis, which is great for him, except that Thor shouldn't reflect that pantheon's standards of male fitness, if you catch my meaning. Thor's a powerhouse. Practically a meathead. All I'm saying is, this guy's audition had better have been a frakkin' masterpiece.

Now watch me eat my words raw in a few months when it turns out he's packed on thirty pounds of muscle.

	I said he'd be heavily muscled for Donald Blake, which as he is a slightly built lame guy with a cane, is certainly true. For Thor, yes, a little more definition, but I can imagine we'll get that from him without trouble. (Reply to this) (Parent)
