Captain Kirk is Thor!

Well, Captain George Kirk. Chris Hemsworth, who recently played James T. Kirk's father in the recent Star Trek film, is slated to play Thor in Marvel's upcoming movie. Check out the story from Newsarama.















He's gonna have to bulk up, but at least we know two things:
1)He is a good actor (he was quite memorable in his few minutes of screen time in Star Trek)
2) He doesn't look completely un-like the Norse God of Thunder. Just squint a little.

I am a little disappointed we didn't get James Preston Rogers, but as of now, Bill's Beta Ray Blog gives the selection an Official Seal of Approval.


UPDATE: According to IMDb.com, Tom Hiddleston has been cast as Loki for the Thor movie. Moving right along! Dude looks like a trickster...
