Alright then:
Zak Knutson: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1018295/
He's tall, muscular, young, and with the last name Knutson he's probably of Nordic origin to boot.
If you can look beyond his role as the Sexy Stud in Clerks II, he'd probably be a good choice...

He is interesting. I never liked Clerks 2 so I'm not sure how he works. I know there are a lot of them but how about any 6ft. 4 to 6 ft. 65 bodybuilders?
To be honest I favour the Ultimates version of Thor too.
Classic Thor is a pure comic character. Ultimates more accurately represents the general reaction if someone claimed to be a god.
Height isn't a big thing in this post LotRs world. A well built actor can be made to look taller with the addition of undersized props and camara angles.
I did like Mr Smileys introduction to the movie.
Matthew Vaughn is going to direct the new Thor movie and pre-production to start this Winter:

From rumour to fact - Excellent!
STARDUST is getting some good reviews. That's like a good warmup for doing something ever bigger in the fantasy genre, like THOR.
Perhaps by fall, we'll finally have casting choices. 💃

Matthew Vaughn is a great choice. I'm sure he will a great story to tell. Thor should be a great movie.
According to aintitcool.com the script is already made, and according to Harry at AIC it is very good: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/33633

Iron Man looks like it will be great, but the scale of the story for THOR being discussed - it's big and ambitious. The formation of the universe, the creation of the Gods & their pantheons, the beginning of Thor's friendship with Loki before it becomes antagonistic, Thor's banishment to Earth in a mortal form - wow.
If they can get all this in there just for the set-up alone, this could be Marvel's answer to Lord Of The Rings. And that would be fitting, as LOTR is heavily influenced by the Norse Myths.
I just found this article....
Thor Strikes Hollywood
Los Angeles (E! Online) - Lightning doesn't strike the same place twice…unless Thor's around, that is.
The hammer-tossing superhero is the latest star from the comic-book vault to get in line for big-screen treatment, with Marvel Studios lining up British auteur Matthew Vaughn to direct Thor, based on the Stan Lee-created character.
Marvel is hoping to get production in progress by this winter. Mark Protosevich, whose latest project was the apocalyptic Will Smith thriller I Am Legend, will pen the screenplay.
As laid out in the 1962 comics franchise The Mighty Thor, the Norse god of thunder and war is sent by his father Odin to inhabit the body of mere mortal Dr. Donald Blake, in order to teach the arrogant lad some humility. Once Odin is satisfied that his son has learned his lesson, Thor no longer requires a regular-guy alter ego and can be counted on to save the world from the inevitable variety of humanity-threatening evil-doers.
Describing the thought process that went into creating Thor 40-some years ago, Lee wrote in his 2002 autobiography Excelsior! The Amazing Life of Stan Lee:
"I wanted to come up with something totally different. I thought it would fun to invent someone as powerful as, or perhaps even more powerful than, the Incredible Hulk. But how do you make someone stronger than the strongest human? It finally came to me: Don't make him human—make him a god."
There's no word yet on who might be asked to wear the winged helmet, but as is the case when Hollywood utters the words "superhero" or "sci-fi," the blogs are already atwitter with suggestions.
"This pretty much has Josh Holloway written all over it," wrote IceTruckDexter on cinematical.com, while others suggested Matthew McConaughey, Jason Mewes (must be a hair thing), New Zealand-born actor Karl Urban (lately an assassin in The Bourne Supremacy) and, of course, Vincent D'Onofrio, who memorably played a beefy mechanic who was mistaken for Thor in Adventures in Babysitting in 1987.
Hopes are high, especially considering the sleight of hand Marvel Studios displayed in casting its other upcoming additions to the comic-book-film canon, The Incredible Hulk, due out June 13, 2008, and Iron Man, slated for a May 2 release.
Edward Norton is suiting up as the volatile Dr. Bruce Banner for the not-quite-a-sequel to Ang Lee's Hulk, and Liv Tyler plays love interest Betty Ross. Tim Roth, William Hurt and Tim Blake Nelson are also on hand to up the action flick's dramatic pedigree.
Former Swinger Jon Favreau's take on Iron Man stars Robert Downey Jr. as the metallically-enhanced hero, with Gwyneth Paltrow, Terrence Howard, Jeff Bridges, Samuel L. Jackson and Hilary Swank rounding out the supporting cast.
Thor will be only the third trip behind the camera for Vaughn, who made his directing debut with 2004's heist romp Layer Cake, and whose second film, the fantasy-adventure Stardust, starring Claire Danes, Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert De Niro, comes out Friday.
The London native also produced the Guy Ritchie-directed films Snatch, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Swept Away, with an emphasis on the first two.

I hope Thor won't be a 3 hour film. 2 and 1/2 hours should do.

Agreed.
And I think that counts for all the Ultimate characters actually, it just seems to me that they would fit the real world a lot better. Most of them being greedy and all 😄
I will put up the link. Also Kevin McKidd is also rumored. I found the Triple H rumor off of Chud.com, but they are having problems right now. This link here about McKidd works.
