When a movie gets ready to film, casting breakdowns are sent out to various agencies to see if any of their actors are suited for a role. This happens on every movie, and most of the time, no one reports anything because who really cares what actor is serving Jennifer Aniston her coffee in her latest romantic comedy. But when you land some of the casting breakdowns for the next Marvel movie, you’re going to get some coverage. Anyway, the studio is obviously looking for a ton of people to fill many roles in “Thor”, but for now, you can read the description for a college student named Marcy Lewis and who they’re looking for to play Warriors.
And for people not caught up… Kenneth Branagh is directing “Thor” for Marvel next year. The film is getting released May 20, 2011 and it stars Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Natalie Portman (Jane Foster). Here’s the synopsis that Marvel released:
Marvel Studios expands its film universe with a new type of superhero: THOR. This epic adventure spans the Marvel Universe; from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.
Thanks to Movie Spoilers for the casting info:
[MARCY LEWIS]
(20) Is a college student. Aloof, jaded beyond her years, she thought her internship with scientist Kate Spelling would be an easy 6 college credits. However, she’s been stuck for months in this small New Mexico town and relegated to a wide range of unglamorous activities. Kate has been particularly hard on Marcy, making it her personal project to see that Marcy lives up to her potential. Marcy deals with her situation both by using subtle irony and by being an overt wiseass.
(WARRIORS)
A fearless warrior race, where size, strength and ferocity define a member’s rank in both the social and military hierarchy. Warriors born in this society face the harshest ecological conditions imaginable and thrive in environments where lesser creatures, including humans, quickly perishes. Theirs is a world created to cull weakness from the universe to ensure their supreme sovereignty spreads across the stars. MUST BE 6’2 OR TALLER, NO BODYBUILDER TYPES. SAG ROLE BUT NO LINES. MUST BE COMFORTABLE WEARING PROSTHETICS.

Don’t worry Richard, this film is already a bust with Chris Hemsworth cast as Thor. One more potentially wonderful film ruined by casting a teen heart-throb in a role with substance. Hooray for Hollywood. Nice job dickheads!

mike you are a douche. open your mind.
Thor is supposed to be a HUGE, BUFF, Nordic presense, the epitome of VIKING. WHo cast this effeminate pussy Hemsworth to play the ‘All-Mighty’ THOR?!?!?! Captain Kirk’s Dad is THOR?!?!? WTF?!?!?! This is the WORST casting ever, honestly. Thor will flop, Mike is right, and snake is a limp-wrist homo.
Ahem… do you know the meaning of the word “immature”?
Like in: “This person who is getting furious about who is cast as a viking god and calls people homo must be either 12 or very, very immature.”
