actually im really angry about this. hemsworth look like a brick with no war god charisma, he cant bring anything to stage compared to alexander´s ability. the film will suck, the casting is terrible. i couldnt care less about that ladies think he is attractive, but he was just born for that role.. stupid ‘xxxx

in the real nordic mythology thor was quite a bimbo, but smart too, and alex wouldve been so great at that. and to have internal war god conflicts.

this is soo bad. hemsworth will only bring macho hollywood clichee “thor”, while alex would bring nyancee and vulnerability in the strings of reflecting an epic war god. instead of being interesting it will become a clichee character, too bad cause i was looking forward to see alex in this role, it wouldve been really cool and more density to it. (plus he is scandinavian and know what thor is about)arfg. i think branagh is just playing safe, alex wouldve been a more interesting and poetic choice, he is not just a hunk, but the hunkiness wouldve portrayed thors more naive parts, and then alex wouldve brought forth the complexness of a war god with much more bite than hemsworth or a regular macho-in-a-box clichee actor. sigh. it wouldve been so interesting and entertaining.

I saw Hemsworth in Star Trek, and as a lifelong fan of Thor, I can say that I was impressed with his screen presence and I am very satisfied with Branagh’s choice. I mean, c’mon- it’s Kenneth “Henry V” Branagh! Could there be any doubt about his expertise in discerning intensity on screen?!? Now they just need to get Ensiferum, Amon Amarth or some other fantastic folk-metal band on the soundtrack and I will grab my Spangenhelm and head for the longship!!!

I guess he’ll do. I’m more interested to see what Branagh brings to the table with this…I’ve been a fan of him as an actor for years (he was great in Valkyrie!) and I know he’s a damn good director too.

Im not a xenophobe or anything but I’d like to see someone from the states play Captain America. I think it would sit better. That being said I think Alaxander is awesome and would have made a great Thor.

Look at the photos again, observe the eyes of both candidates. Hemsworth’s have an innate flame, a bit of hot-headedness- and I daresay brazen arrogance. Hint, hint? And with a commanding tone.. About the accent, i guess that’s why they’re actors right? Di caprio did a good job with his South African accent in Blood Diamonds, Whitaker in Last King of Scotland etc. If they want it they’ll get it.

While I still wish Skarsgård had landed the role, I can’t help but admit Hemsworth seems to be looking more and more like he fits the role. Especially in that picture; his hair looks like it’ll grow out to look just like Thor’s.

Still, would have been nice if Skarsgård had been Thor and perhaps Hemsworth would have been a good Baldur.

Nevertheless, I’m still cautiously optimistic about the movie.

i still think skarsgard would have been better. sometime i get upset because some movies make bad choices in casting actors that don’t have that feel of fitting in the role

im a little disapointed to be honest, Skarsgård would have made a perfect choice for thor and Hemsworth would have made a good captain america. i just cant see thor having a strong american accent. it will just seem to hollywood. and not really fitting to the story of thor. i might be wrong. lets just see what happens when it gets released.

What about Skaarsgard as Fandral?
I could go for that.

Watch the beginning of Star Trek, when he’s walking next to the original captain of the Kelvin in that scene where he was going to board a shuttle, Hemsworth TOWERS over that guy, it’s crazy. Either that other guy is really short or Hemsworth is huge, or both, but I think he would look great as Thor. He definitely has the voice for it. I thought that while watching Star Trek, that the actor playing Kirk’s father has a really commanding voice. I think that might have won him the role over Skarsgard, because the person’s voice is very important in filling the role as well.
