With CHUD offering up their own speculation on who could possibly play Marvel’s mighty Norse God Thor, I thought FSR could offer up some of our own speculation. Devin over at CHUD already mentioned that Triple H might be a front-runner, despite the fact that director Matthew Vaughn may not be into him for the part. While physically he is a would-be match made in heaven, Triple H’s acting ability has possibly fallen victim to one of those “leave it all out on the mat” speeches.

So, ultimately the search starts with two questions; Who has the look, and the acting ability? The prior might be a more important factor to fans, but those of us who expect a good movie, rather than a plotless fanboy moneyshot, lets focus slightly on the former. Who could play Thor, and why or why won’t they?

Josh Holloway

Has the look above the neck, and the acting skills, and sizes up at almost 6’2, but can he put on the weight and the muscle to match that of a God who carries a gigantic hammer?

Karl Urban

May not be a fan favorite because of his last few outings, but with a little hair dye and a little bit more weight he might be able to wield some thunder. I mean, he did play a viking who fought the Norse…thats kind of close right?

Tyler Mane

Even though the only professional wrestler turned actor that I like is The Rock, Tyler Mane has turned in some solid performances. Also at 6’8 and already sporting the long blonde locks, Mane might be the man.

Ralf Moeller

At 6’6 and having an actual starring television role as Conan under his belt, Ralf has the size and the frame but not the fame.

Fabio

He has the look and he is 6’3…Just Kidding

Brandon Molale

One of the most underrated acting big men out there. He’s 6’5 and with a little hair dye, he could totally pull it off. He has one of the longer lists of roles when compared with the other guys on this list. Thing is, he might be playing Captain Marvel in Shazam!.

Garrett Hedlund

Can you see a young Thor in this one? He has already stood the test of acting, and putting on weight to aide his roles. He is 6’2 and sports the hair and eyes, but Marvel might want to show Thor in his prime.

Nathan Jones

At 6’10 and sporting a body that came straight out of the Thor hobby kit, Nathan Jones just might be perfect. The only snag might be that he actually has to speak during the film.

I think this list shows some promise, now I’d like to see anyone else weigh in on the topic.
