Chris Hemswroth is indeed Thor
Or at least according to the exclusive announcment that popped up on Deadline Hollywood. Chris Hemsworth, of the J.J. Abram’s Star Trek Hemsworths, has been tapped by Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige and director Kenneth Branagh to wield the hammer, and speaketh ye olde English.
The 25-year-old Australian hunk is a virtual unknown here in the United States. But he played “Kim Hyde” on 171 episodes of Home and Away, the successful Oz TV series where Heath Ledger started. Hemsworth is repped by partner and co-founder William Ward at ROAR management and agent Ilene Feldman.
The story of how Hemsworth landed the title role is an interesting one, and deserving of the link following. Thor is scheduled to bring the Krak-o-dooooooom! to theaters on May 20, 2011.
Tom Hiddleston to Play Loki, Chris Hemsworth as Thor
Variety is reporting that Tom Hiddleston has been tapped by Kenneth Branagh and Marvel Studios to put on the curly yellow horns of Loki to torment Thor in the upcoming movie. This news is hot on the heels of the confirmation that Chris Hemsworth (Star Trek’s George Kirk) will play the hammer weilding Norse god.
Kenneth Branagh, who is prepping to direct “Thor” for a May 20, 2011, release, already had a relationship with Hiddleston, having co-starred with the actor in the BBC miniseries “Wallander.” The two were in a London stage production of “Ivanov.” Hiddleston also played Winston Churchill‘s son in HBO’s “The Gathering Storm.”
I’m glad things are finally starting to move in the right direction with this film. I think Branagh will bring the right look and feel to the story that will partly be set in ancient times. And while Hemsworth didn’t get a lot of face time in Star Trek, I was impressed enough to know Marvel Studios picked the right low profile star to bring the character to life.
