Kyle Buchanan at Movieline interviewed actor Dominic Cooper (The Duchess, Mamma Mia!) not long ago and managed to scoop some interesting information from him about Kenneth Branagh’s upcoming Marvel Studios film based on Marvel’s God of Thunder.
Towards the end of the interview, while talking about the possibility of Mamma Mia! 2, Buchanan noticed Thor script sides beside him and directly asked him if he had auditioned for a role in the Thor movie. After a pause, Cooper revealed that he “kind of” did and questioned back if the interviewer knew of any good Thor roles for him.
Having read what was on the top page (upside down), Buchanan wittingly replied “Fandral, maybe?”

This generated a bit of humor as Cooper looked down at the script sides and said, “You know! You’re looking at these very confidential pages!”
Buchanan then said “I can read upside down, Dominic” to which Cooper laughingly replied “It says “confidential,” Kyle!”
This happened a few weeks ago and no official announcements have been made regarding the character of Fandral or actors Cooper, De Niro or Law. So, we’re still waiting on quite a few Asgardian characters it seems.
Fandral the Dashing, in the Marvel Comics, is a classic romantic swashbuckler. As an Asgardian warrior and adventurer, he is an ally of Thor and has helped combat the evil set forth for Loki on numerous occasions, defending Asgard as a loyal hero.
If Fandral is a character to be featured in the Thor film, we will no doubt also see “The Warrior’s Three,” the group made up of Fandral, alongside Hogun and Volstagg. These characters were invented by Marvel and unlike Thor, are not part of the Norse mythology that this segment of the Marvel Universe is based on.
Might the Warrior’s Three represent the characters that Jude Law and Robert De Niro also play? What about Stellan Skarsgård’s character, which is still secret?
What do you think of who’s playing who?
Thor is hits theaters May 20, 2011.

I don’t know much about Thor’s Asgardian pals, but that sounds cool.
I think this movie is one that will surprise people. Very few people know what to expect from characters in this universe so it should be interesting and new to the audience.
I don’t think Jude Law or DeNiro are part of The Warriors Three but I’m speculating.
Its kind of hard to be surprised with so much leaking out about it.
I wish we wernt hearing so much .
What are we hearing about?… the cast? Is knowing who will be in the movie going to ruin the movie before you see it?
I know very little about Thor, but the cast and director make this highly interesting to me. At last something different!
i love mythology type stuff and chris hemsworth. this should be fun
Hmm Thought Law would be Fandral
BRIAN BLESSED BETTER F__KING BE ODIN!!
@Lord Garth
Wait, is that not confirmed yet? Cause part of my enthusiasm for this movie is because I though Blessed was playing Odin.
Regarding this little rumor, I find it hard to believe. So Dominic Cooper got a copy of the script, when he’d only “kind of” auditioned, while they didn’t even want to give Stellan Skarsgaard a copy of it?
