Guess we won't know until we get closer to the release of the film. Perhaps he won't have a role after all.

Well, Blessed only announced he was in Thor himself...it was never confirmed by the movie's publicist.

As recently as 2009 he was expected to have the role of Thor's father Odin in the movie, and I believe he was Branagh's first choice. It seems the studio wanted a more recognizable/bankable face and picked Anthony Hopkins instead, hence why Blessed was never in any official publicity or cast lists.

It could well be that after Branagh and Blessed discussed the part, Blessed went out with his "I am Odin!" news to try and whip up fan support so that Branagh would have a better play for pushing for him. Sadly, it doesn't look like it worked... :(

I really wasn't sure what to expect from a Thor movie, but I like the look of it so far!

Just got back from seeing Thor. Turned out to be a really darn good movie.

Well done, Mr. Branagh.

I don't see it till Tuesday (bargain matinees, whenever there's 3-D), but I've had fears of "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein" hanging over this project since I'd heard he was announced.
I'm taking a lot of faith to trust Branagh on a non-Shakespeare movie.

Just watched Thor last weekend. I loved it!

I have a question? How the heck did Chris get so damn big. I remember him in Star Trek and he was far leaner.

The dude is now ginormous, eh?

Saw this last weekend, and was amazed at how good it was. I didn't know how they could pull it off, but they nailed it. Good, all-around film--- something for everyone.

As my buddy said, it was Branaghsome! :)

Very keen now to see Cap in a few weeks.

You mean, a few months, right? Or did you get invited to a preview screening?

Anyway, considering Christian Bale can go from looking scrawny in The Fighter to becoming buff again for The Dark Knight Rises, Hemsworth's added muscles seem realistic to me.

Hemsworth is much much bigger than Bale was in the Batman movies. However, Bale was thinner in The Machinist than Hemsworth was in Star Trek.

Cap is coming out in less than 2 months. So, I meant weeks.
