Thor Movie update!

The Warriors Three have been cast for the upcoming Kenneth Branagh Thor film. This is great for two reasons: 1) the got some great actors to play 'The Three' and 2) 'The Three' will be in the movie!
Fandral: The dashing fellow in green will be played by Stuart Townsend, perhaps best known as Dorian Gray from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Hogun: The grim guy with the horns will be played by Japanese actor Tadanobu Asano. He has been in primarily Japanese films, but he looks the part.

Volstagg: The big fellow in pink will be played by Ray Stevenson, a.k.a. The Punisher from Punisher: War Zone! This should be quite a turn for him, playing the giant, jolly fellow. I wonder if they will use a fat suit, or put Stevenson on the diet of his life?

This news gives me hope for this movie, because casting these characters suggests a good amount of attention will be focused on Asgard. So far, from only looking at the casting, I think that Branagh really gets it. I will keep you updated as I hear more.
