    We Seem to have our Odin

    DateTue, June 2, 2009

    According to Rich Johnston's site www.BleedingCool.com friend and frequent collaborator of Kenneth Branagh's, Brian Blessed has landed a role in the upcoming Thor.  Blessed is perhaps best know for his role a sthe King of the Hawkmen in Flash Gordon.

    His association with Branagh, powerful voice, and acting talent have made him a long time favorite for the role among Thor fans on message boards throughout the net.  He'll be joining Chris Hemsworth (Thor), and Tom Hiddleston (Loki).

    The cast as of now, while talented and fitting to their roles, is lacking in star power.  I'd not be surprised to see the one time rumored Natalie Portman join the cast as one of the female leads, preferably Loki's love interest Karnilla, as I'm pretty sure we've never seen Nat as a villain before and it would bring something new.

    So far so good as far as this Thor fan is concerned.  Things are in full swing here, and hopefully GREEN LANTERN will be soon as well.
