Avengers movie line-up?

Over at i09, this poster made a movie poster depicting what we already know about the upcoming Avengers movie. Could this be our Avengers line-up?

Here is the link.

And here is the picture:
There are also rumors of casting Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, but if the comments of the rumored actor are true, I want no part of the Ultimate Hawkeye. I demand purple tights and a bow and arrow!!!

Here are links to the concept art for Captain America's movie costume and Thor's full costume. I hope they are planning a little more variety on Thor from the waist down, and a winged helmet. PLEASE let there be a winged helmet!

Thor the Movie: Update!

Kat Dennings, who played Norah in something called Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, has just been added to the cast of Thor, according to Marvel.com. No word yet on who she is going to play, but if I had to make a guess based on looks alone, I would say Hela.

Do you see a resemblance?
That's just my guess.

More Thor Movie News!

Another Asgardian has been cast! Heimdall, the guardian of the Bifrost bridge, will be played by Idris Elba. Known for his work on "The Wire" and as Jim's nemesis Charles Miner on "The Office". A great actor and another great addition to what I believe is shaping up to be a fantastic cast.

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.

Thor movie gets an AllFather!

Odin's beard! None other than Sir Anthony Hopkins has been cast as Odin, father of Thor and stepfather to Loki.
Just slap a beard on him!
I can't wait to see how this movie works out. I will keep you updated!

Thor Movie Update

Fresh from Newsarama.com, more news on the upcoming Thor movie. Two more actors have been cast, Jaimie Alexander will be playing Sif and Colm Feore will be playing a mysterious
villain.




I think they have nailed the look.


I am not sure what villain he will be playing, but I am sure he will be a villain most foul!

Movie Updates - Thor and Green Lantern

Newsarama reports that Natalie Portman has been cast as Jane Foster in the upcoming Thor movie. This is obviously a good choice, good actors are good actors period. I wonder how they will handle this character, though. I was most surprised that they bothered to include her in the first place.

In other news, Ryan Reynolds has been cast as Hal Jordan in the Green Lantern movie set for 2011. Not sure how this will play out, though I do believe he has the acting chops to play Hal. I just hope everything else falls into place for this movie. I can easily see this movie being fumbled in the wrong hands.

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...
