I didn’t say that the norse mythology only exists in sweden but it still is our mythology, as is it denmarks and norways.

It would be wierd if iceland and the faroe islands had another mythology since the icelandics came from norway and the faroe islands belong to denmark.

In old swedish paintings thor is blond.

It’s a comic based on norse mythology, If it was norse mythology it would be hard filming it.

Marvels thor is the norse mythology thor, just their version of him.

You can cast however the f*ck you want, It was a suggestion.
I hardly think it will be the case.

Thor is not Swedish, he is “North Germanic” which includes Icelandic, Faroese, Norn, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish and Elfdalian Cultures.

Also according to “your” mythology he has a flowing red beard. This is MARVEL COMICS – not Norse mythology.

The Marvel comics Character came from their version of Asgard, is a beefy blond haired God of Thunder. Not your Germanic Norse God.

And since when do you have to cast family to make them family in a movie?

You have to use a swedish actor to play Thor, its our mythology!

and get Alexander Skarsgårds brother Gustav to play Loki and his father Stellan to play Odin, they are from the north and they are family, just like Odin, Thor and Loki!

Sorry Chris, you will NEVER be able to convince me that a WWE star is going to be able to carry a lead role in a Marvel film.

Wrestlers are not actors.

Another good choice for Thor would be Edge from WWE he is 6′10″ish(Which would help with the matter of size difference between him and the other actors).He had actting expierence(Movies and well Weekly on WWE).And well like i said just my two cents….Anyone not knowing what he looks like….Here is a link

Scott Speedman is under 6ft, is not muscular at all, and looks nothing like Thor.

Seriously, if you are going to suggest someone, at least have someone who looks like he MIGHT work out or at very least look even somewhat Norse.

Well, if he doesn’t make Thor… I think he’ll also make a decent He-man!

I dont think that you really have to bulk up that much to look big on screen, really you put on 10lbs of muscle and then get lean and ripped like they did in 300 Sparta and you would be really surprised what he looks like on camera.

I have never seen Generation Kill or Trueblood, but the dude looks tailor made for the Thor part. Really hard to argue with this choice, at least that is my thought.
