Currently Browsing: "Thor"

This week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, we laugh and cry about the state of independent filmmaking while eating leftover Halloween candy.

It seems as if just yesterday we were reporting that Brian Blessed — then Stellan Skarsgard — might be playing the role of Odin in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor. Well, time to think again…

What does Stan Lee have that Dominic Cooper, Matthias Schweighöfer, Robert De Niro, Jude Law and Stellan Skarsgard seem to want so badly? A role in Thor, that’s what…

Jon Favreau is not directing Marvel’s The Avengers. At least, that is what he’s still saying after months of rumors to the contrary.

Since I would really like to see Stellan Skarsgard play God of War Tyr for Thor, I wanted to title this headline “Could Stellan Skarsgard Play Tyr, God of War for Thor?” But I resisted. You’re welcome.

Sarcastic hyperbole aside, the heirs to Jack Kirby have finally realized that there’s some money to be made in this here comic book adaptation business, and they are looking for their piece of the pie.

Actress, model and all around super-star of hotness Diora Baird is on Twitter. We are on Twitter. Perhaps we should grab drinks sometime, don’t ya think? Maybe after she’s done auditioning for a role in Thor.

He’s still got a year to go on Iron Man 2, but when asked at Comic-Con about The Avengers, the director had to weigh in on his excitement. Now with video!

Could that be any more inappropriately sexy? Yes, but it would stop being about Portman joining the cast of Thor.

The folks over at Nuke the Fridge have laid down some rumors today linking noted hottie Jessica Biel and the upcoming Marvel Studios production of Thor, which will be directed by Kenneth Branagh.

The folks at Ain’t It Cool News have been posting a series of awesome reader-submitted snapshots over the course of the last few days from the Las Vegas Licensing Expo, and among them are our first look at the new logos for the upcoming Marvel movies.

Another day, another casting decision from the halls of the Marvel Studios offices — or at least, another relatively solid piece of speculation. This time another relative unknown is stepping in to play Thor’s nemesis.

According to Hollywood blogger Nikki Finke, Marvel Studios has finally found their man for Thor. And while you might not recognize his name, you may have just seen him in a recent summer blockbuster.

Could a guy who once played a lord in a Brit television adapt of “Nicholas Nickleby” become a God for Thor?

Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios have announced new release dates for their upcoming projects, culminating with The Avengers in 2012.

Kenneth Branagh needs a tall, strapping blond guy to play comic book hero Thor in Thor. Okay, let me amend that. He needs a tall guy. The rest can be found in the gym and a bottle of bleach.

After spending something like a minute and a half as Nick Fury after the credits of Iron Man, Sam Jackson was in. He probably didn’t know it at the time, but neither Marvel Studios or the fans would ever let that character go. It’s just how these things go.

How can Marvel Studios not disappoint Thor fans and audience members? Bringing character Donald Blake in and having Kenneth Branagh act is a good start.

Director Kenneth Branagh explained when he spoke for the first time about the project this week to MTV that the appeal of Thor is “to work on a story about one of the immortals, Gods, extraordinary beings, inter-dimensional creatures.” Cool.

Rome and Grey’s Anatomy star Kevin McKidd has confirmed that he’s still in the running to play Thor. He’s got the look, but does he have the chops?
