Thor Movie

Dolph Lundgren (The "russian" in Rocky 4 for those who don't know)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolph_Lundgren

He seems pretty obvious to me. He's tall, he's Swedish, he's buff, he's a seasoned actor.

also he has been out of the lime light since he man and rocky 4 so he could make a comback with this

Downside is he turns 49 this year, and will be in his 50's before the cameras start rolling for this. Thor has to look like a man in his late 20's to mid 30's.
Maybe Lundgren could play Odin, with the right makeup. He's even bigger than his son.

A big wrestler to play Odin...perhaps Jones, but not as Thor. Making this movie would be the biggest challenge and a huge cast. Any ideas of what this movie will be about?

the origin of thor more than not redcaped

Are you kidding? The secret tomb, the cane, the transformation, the inscription on hammer made by Odin. The greatest adventure from Marvel, that's for sure! Let Hercules show up in the sequel.

The wrestler HHH should play the role of Thor if they are going to start shooting in 2007. He was in the movie Blade III, which was a bad movie by the way. HHH, don't know his real name, is not a great or even good actor, but the role of Thor does not require a method actor.

In Blade III HHH showed he could say his lines and show some emotion in them.

It would be mostly physical role, which is what he is really good at, and it would be loaded with special effects.

Also, if you watch the WWE, one of his gimmicks he using a hammer that he hides under the ring. I am sure that many people have told HHH that he would be perfect to play Thor.

Then those people are insane... most wrestlers are shockingly bad actors... HHH showed himself to be pretty crappy in Blade Trinity

If Marvel want the film to have any credibility then they will not cast a wrestler/bodybuilder as Thor... or for any of their other characters

I don't know why Wiki keeps mentioning this actor - Rikki Lee Travolta - as connected to the film project.
Firstly, Marvel is looking at a 2009 release; what actor is going to be commited to a project three years away?
Second, this guy could play Donald Blake, and that's all.

I wonder if they are looking at putting a guy in a muscle suit, like Vinnie Jones did as Juggernaut. If it could be pulled off, we could have a much better actor playing Thor than a wrestler.

These days, I'm kinda liking Ultimate Thor's story, and how he discovered his godhood. We could skip Donald Blake completely, and instead focused on Thorlief Golmen, immigrant from Norway. 🙂

triple H is he got his acting worked on by going to acting lessons could do it very well, he's 6' 4" so he's 2 inches off of the charaters said height... not too bad and he looks the part, especially as someone has done a mock up of him in the empire magazine as thor and he looks awesome... so who knows

If HHH gets the part I will not be going to see the film

😐

I'm not attracted by men but I think Thor should be handsome not just physics. Try your best and don't ruin the most powerful marvel superhero. Looks to me you all like wrestlers not superheroes!

how about topher grace?

Thor still remains as a paper image Ethereal.

you cannot get a guy to look like thor to his exact specification, he's 6'6 and over 300 pounds, knowones both them things, there either taller and not that much or over that weight, shorter and under or over... plus the only guys out there that come close, you guys blast without thinking it though, although HHH sucked in blade 3, if he was given good direction and top class acting lessons, he COULD do something within the constraints of thor the film... which could suck as its based around a god character... got one already, drones known as christian and so on follow the idea.

I'm sure there are men just like the comic Thor but unfortunately they only take their people.

only guys of that spec are power lifters my friend, they arent actors, they can hardly act normal as themselves lol, no pro body builder is to that spec, they are all too short

so i dont know what u r referring too, but then again u said u can run 30 MPH and that made me laugh, so who knows what's going on in ur head

I never lie...matt. They can do a research through major gym locations to require someone like that and there they will find him. Create a website "Thor Movie Completion" with the stats needed and images and make your selection after collecting enough candidates.

Actually they will need 2 guys very similar...Thor - Hercules if they want a neat job done for the sequel. Wrestlers can play god-characters and many of them are older looking. Hear?!
