You have to use a swedish actor to play Thor, its our mythology!

and get Alexander Skarsgårds brother Gustav to play Loki and his father Stellan to play Odin, they are from the north and they are family, just like Odin, Thor and Loki!

Oh! Sdavis, you are my new hero.
That’s exactly what I think about Alexander Skarsgard’s work in True Blood. He is effortlessly commanding.

In my personal opinion, Alexander Skarsgard will be great as Thor. The character he portrays in HBO’s True Blood has a commanding presence and an almost “god-like” persona, which he does flawlessly. His acting skills along with his looks will allow Thor to come to life, not just one or the other. I have found that most wrestlers that have made the transistion from the ring to the screen are not at all near the level that I would expect from an actor slated to play a viking god.

I suggested this choice to my friends like over 6 months ago! My teenage son told me about the new Avengers movie and that they’re also filming a separate THOR movie. I’m a huge fan of Skarsgard’s from HBO. The guy’s a MONSTER at 6’4″ and has a beautiful body (I’m drooling already thinking of him even MORE buffed than he already is!).
He’s sexy and commanding. You guys should check out his stuff on YouTube.
This news MADE MY YEAR!

I think those two will be very hard to beat. I doubt anyone believes Thor will be bigger than Iron Man or Batman…

I do believe Skarsgard will do great in the role, I still don’t think this movie will be as big as Iron Man or Batman. Sorry thats just what I think.

Hands down in the looks department Alex has Kevin Mckidd beat. Alex is hot, I can’t see anyone else playing Thor.

Thanks, Rob. This is Alex in season 1 of True Blood (playing vampire Eric).

[...] While there’s some desire by Marvel to see Hartnett or another recognizable actor to play Thor, there’s also a lot of interest in casting an unknown. Personally, I don’t know which would be best for this movie but I liked the idea of casting a relatively unknown actor like Alexander Skarsgård (who was rumored to be Branagh’s leading choice last week).

@ SK, I live in the Greater Toronto Area, not in the city itself.

For those saying Alexander is skinny, you can stop

@ Claude, close, but they suggested John Cena, not Shawn Michaels…

Hey, does anyone remember how Triple H was when he first hit WWF? Compare then to now. On that basis,I think Alex has a buffing chance. I’m not an Alex supporter but a Thor and great acting fan. If anyone thinks Triple HHH’s acting in Blade Trinity is good enough for him to be Thor, then he’d probably suggest Shawn Michaels for Captain America

Oh, and Quicksilver, triple H can’t act. Not at the level and with the breadth that would be required. IMHO
Rehersals prepare you for the scene – the blocking and the interaction. It doesn’t train you to act, it doesn’t teach you the tricks to help the editor, it doesn’t help you break the character down into drives, motivation and backstory. It doesn’t prepare you to show any emotion required; since scenes are shot out of sequence.

Thousands of people study acting every year – very few emerge as qualified and appealing actors.
