Looks Like Kevin McKidd Is Out As a Potential Thor.
Latino Review —
... 26 when he played Supes, but he looked older than that. And today's actors in their twenties all still look like they could be in high school. It's just my personal opinion, but I want an older Thor. I want to see a Thunder God, not a Thunder Kid. I want someone who looks like he descended from the heavens above and not from the cradle below. Oh well. Hey, maybe the person they cast will end up being perfect for the part, who knows. All I know is, I hope they don't fuck it up. Click HERE to read the rest of the short, but informative, news piece. Source: ...

Screen Rant —
... According to Corona Coming Attractions here’s what they’re looking for:
Male MUST BE MID-LATE 20′S and SIX FEET OR TALLER. LEAD.

This jives with an earlier rumor of the studio wanting a younger Thor, but clashes with earlier rumors of 40 year old Daniel Craig and McKidd being ...

... powerful, very handsome, occasionally egotistical, petulant, and wild. A natural warrior with a quick charming wit who must be genuinely and severely humbled before becoming the compassionate, mature her of our film.
So, with this in mind, who are you visualizing in the role of Thor? Does Kevin McKidd still have a chance? No, we are not going to consider Dolph again! Is this the direction you imagined the movie would take?

Thor Casting

... we heard that Kenneth Branagh’s version would take the Norse God through the film in Asgard, eventually ending on modern day alter ego Donald Blake finding Mjolnir and awaking to his God of Thunder powers, leaving him in a modern setting to kick ass with the Avengers later on.
Thor himself has yet to be cast, and shooting rapidly approaches (starting in July, hopefully). We’ve got the Thor casting call notice, and it’s almost a tad plotty…

'Thor' Still Looking For Its Thor
Get The Big Picture —
... I have a hard time visualizing this movie. It'll either involve some ridiculous motion capture effects, a guy who's too small to be effective in the role of a Norse God, or some monstrous, 'roided up goon we've never heard of. Marvel is apparently still looking for Thor, which I guess could mean it's going to be some unknown actor, although that's a lot of risk given that this company couldn't commercially salvage a Hulk movie in two attempts.
Coming Attractions (via
