Only a day before Marvel’s move adaption of Thor is set to begin shooting a cast shakeup has occurred. The Associated Press is reporting that Stuart Townsend, set to play Thor’s Norse ally, Fandral, will be replaced by Joshua Dallas. Sources close to the production said Townsend left the film due to creative differences.
Hit the jump for more details on Thor and the sudden cast changes.
This marks the second time Townsend has been replaced in a major film release. He was originally cast to play Aragon in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, a role that ultimately went to Viggo Mortensen. This casting change could be a big win for newcomer Dallas who is also set to appear in George Lucas’ upcoming Tuskagee Airmen drama Red Tails.
Directing by Kenneth Branagh, Thor stars Chris Hemsworth in the title role alongside Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, Renee Russo and Tom Hiddleston. Thor was scheduled for a May 20, 2011 release but was moved to May 6, 2011 after Spider-Man 4 suffered script delays.

Creative differences? I understand not wanting to compromise your values as a person in regards to your film choices….but it's a movie based off a comic. News Flash Stew: You aren't going to change the world with this role.
I think they say “creative differences” when they don’t want to report the real story.

I think Townsend is probably just an egotistical Douche just cause he's with Charlize Theron. Obviously since this isnt the 1st time this has happened with him and a role so that says something… and most likely he's to blame. but I could be wrong.
Are you refering to LOTR? Cause if you are that wasn't his fault.
Hmm, I am beginning to think Townsend only wants to live off his girlfriend's earnings. When was the last time he acted?
I think the choice they made with the new actor is incredible! Joshua Dallas is gorgeous and I hope this is just the begining of a long career on the big screen.
