 Found this ...a superhero movie I would actually like to see...(cuz I like Thor!). Who would you have play Thor?

Back in the day I would've said Dolph Lundgren.

Now, I'm not quite so sure.

I would choose "Rock N' Roll Nightmare" star Jon Mikl Thor to play "THOR!"  :teddyr:

Only if you could go back in time by twenty years and pluck his much older, much more defined, less "Krispy Kreme is my harsh mistress" current self.

I'm most excited by the Thor movie because it brings us one step closer to seeing a potential "Hulk vs. Thor" done right and on a big screen where such crazy titanic action should be seen!  :teddyr:

I had read somewhere that the WWE's Triple-H (Hunter Hearst Helmsley) was going to play the Thor character; he certainly has the look, though I'm not sure he has the acting ability.

Thor is supposed to be a MASSIVE man. Picture Rolf Moeller who played Haken, the German in Gladiator and Conan on t.v. THAT is what Thor is supposed to look like. I find it disturbing that most of what I've seen on the net about who will play Thor revolves around his height and not his physique. What about a casting call? Has Hollywood abandoned that concept completely? The comic hero/thunder god is at least 6'6 and over 600 pounds. The weight seems too much, but who knows what a god would weigh??? The bottom line is MUSCULARITY. Forget Taylor Dane and anyone else who isn't very massive, no matter how tall they are.

I would cast Brad Pitt as the actor to play Thor. He los like in him in the 1966 cartoon that I remember.

I think Triple H woul be a very good choice if you were going on pure appearence, but I'm not sure how many real actors there are to fit the part.  Maybe Ron Pearlman.

has any one ever seen the movie called The 13th Warrior i think Vladimir Kulich the man who plays Buliwyf the leader of the 13teen warriors he sould be the one who plays thor

Yeah, I suppose he wouldn't be too bad. They're looking for a "name" tho'. I keep hearing Matthew McConaughey being banded about.  :bluesad:

In the case of Thor, they could go with two different actors, one has Dr. Donald Blake and another as Thor. Like the old Bill Bixby/Lou Ferrigno Hulk, there's actually quite a difference in appearance between Thor and his alter ego.

Your all wrong. Hollywood has never done a decent Viking, Norse movie. They always cast the wrong actors. One guy commented that Dolph Lundgren would have been good. He had the look and the size...when he did Masters of the Universe. They have to make Thor as a CGI character to pull it off. The same effect as the new Hulk.  Whoever said Triple H and Brad Pitt could play Thor was probably coming off a meth binge. First these guys dont even remotely look Norse or Scandinavian in the least because guess what...thier not! Somebody in Hollywood or Marvel do your homework. Do some research and try not to attempt a cheesy half hearted movie that a real Thor fan would puke on. CGI boys...CGI. Either that or go to Iceland or northern Norway and find a 6'6" gym goon or heavy labourer and spend a few bucks and teach him to act. Otherwise dont bother! May the Midgard Serpent chew you up and spit you out if you dont

I'd go with Eric Allen Krammer who was an Ator, and was Thor in the Hulk series. He was also Little John in Robin Hood Men in Tights.

Can anyone say, fanboy?

A goon from Norway you say?
How about a psycho...

Yeah, he's also a Nazi bonehead, who'd be proud to do a movie about Norse mythology.
With your "Midgard Serpent" remark you sound a bit too serious about it.

I'm completely for Vladimir Kulich to play the mighty Thor. I personally couldn't care a rat's ass that he isn't some big name!! He darn well fits the role and can act too!!!+ Hollywood needs to remember that this is a movie about the God of Thunder!!!! He takes on the midgard (earth) serpent; a beast so huge that wraps itself around the f*****g planet. The Walt Simonson take on the Thor character far outpasses anything that was ever done. And yes, I do hope for an epic battle between Thor and said serpent way more than some confrontation with the incredible Hulk!
+ "The casket of ancient winters" series had all the ingredients that would turn over into a great movie. Good ol' Walt definitely did his homework on Norse mythology. Bottom line is: Hollywood make this epic, dark and cold with a real intention of making us the fans happy or don't even bother!!! I can go on reading my Thor comics forever without the need of a movie if it isn't going to be Like way, way way in your face. Ps. In the role of Hogun (Thor's very silent and trusted friend and battle companion) I would like to see another bad-ass actor given the role. I'm talking about japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada. (The dude who gives Tom Cruise's character a whoping in the last Samurai and then teaches him the art of Iaido: japanese sword fighting) why him? Hogun has some siberian like features , black hair and is a weapons master to top it all off. Swedish metal jazz outfit Meschugga should have a song in this movie (like the last tune on their new album.) I read somewhere that they wanted Brad Pitt for the role and "I say to thee, Nay!!!" he's of scottish descent, and even though he's kind of buff, he just doesn't cut it for this role. Thor isn't buff, He's MIGHTY!!!! For Asgard's sake, and ours; the true fans that is. Plllleeaaasssee don't do this to us! Until the Midgard serpent meets and  greets and hijacks the mighty Thor in central park, make mine Marvel. Ragnarock 'n Roll!!!! 

Dolph Lundgren...

With Brian Blessed

Rolf Moeller is a great pick. The weight isn't an issue. Thor's extraordinary weight is due in large part to his density.

Yes find a 600lbs man! Density?.....Density!?

Be realistic fella's.... :lookingup:

i would like to suggest BATISTA (the wrestler) to play the part of mighty thor it would justify becuse he is a greek guy. and it will fit him best.    for captain america i suggest JOHN CENA (the wrestler) because the caracter fits him,he is an american patiot. hope they will consider. thanks and more power.

Man, you guys are behind the times. This movie has been cast for a long time now and is in production now.
