Chris Hemsworth Cast to Play Thor in the Upcoming Marvel Movie

It appears that 25-year old Australian actor Chris Hemsworth is all set to play Thor in the upcoming movie from Marvel as well as in the Avengers. This writer was skeptical at first but after reading up on some of the previous work and looking at the guy's appearance everything seems in order. It's interesting to ponder about what made the people at Marvel make this decision. Now I just wonder who they will cast for the other roles? I know that Josh Hartnett is being rumored for the role of Loki.


Chris Hemsworth is 6'3 so he should give enough of a size difference in comparison to Robert Downey Jr. and the other characters in the Avengers movie. I don't think that Thor will be nearly as successful as Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk but it will be worth a look all the same.


I'm thinking about how they will make this more true to life than in the comics. I cannot wait to see how Asgard is gonna look in this movie because you know it's gonna be awesome. Hopefully we get to see some very good battle scenes between the warriors of Asgard led by Thor against some of Loki's armies of demons and giants. I would love to see a brief Thor vs Hulk fight scene in the Avengers movie at some point as well.


What does everyone think of this casting? Keep your eyes open because now they should start rolling out other roles such as Loki and Odin.
