Thor

[thedude]

Is anyone else curious, or maybe even excited, to see this? Iam, I like the different approach that it seems to be taking, and I have to say I'm excited by Brannagh directing, its seems weirdly like it fits. Thoughts anyone?

So how come some idiot in casting decided that THE most heroic of the Norse Gods, even more so than THOR. A God who is the epitome of the Norse should be played by none other than IDRIS ELBA !
Who, for those of you who don't know is BLACK !!!!

Im sorry but without wishing to sound in any way rascist

THAT IS AWFUL CASTING.

On the plus side Chris Hemsworth looks ace as Thor.

I kind of agree. what are they thinking??

Maybe they'll white him up?

Meh, I see the point, but Idris is a fine actor, so its good by me.

well I think it's dumb. Like casting a white fella for Driving Miss Daisy.

I can live with Sam Jackson as Nick Fury as there is a large black population in the USA but to the best of my historical knowledge medieval Scandanavia was not exactly teeming with people of ethnic derivation.
Yes Idris is a good actor but its one suspension of belief too far. It spoils the whole concept.

Mind you Im prepared to be proven wrong.

I'm slightly worried about this 1 this could be the 1st big Marvel film to go tits up depending on audience views.

As a BIG marvel fan I am waiting to see more on this movie!!!!!! (the Captain America n Avengers film(s) sounds more promising along side Wolverine 2 n Deadpool movies!!) "yeah bub"
