Branagh Confirms Thor
Although it was a pretty much done deal that Kenneth Branagh was to direct
THOR, the actor finally confirmed the news himself, and had the following to say about the project:
We're getting the story and visual effects together and all of that is very exciting.
Many eyebrows were raised when Branagh was announced as the film's director, however if you think about it, the choice falls in line with other superhero films of late, and their orientation towards more intelligent, thought-provoking fare. If that is indeed the direction Marvel wants to take with
THOR, than Branagh is most definitely an inspired, and fitting choice.
Now on to who will play the titular character--a question that has become one of the most hottly contested on the web. Personally I think they will cast a relative unknown, but I also predicted Colin Hanks would play the next Batman before Bale was cast, so what do I know.

Are you guys more excited for THOR or CAPTAIN AMERICA? |
Thor
For the life of me I can't see how Capt America would work on the big screen, as much as he's an integral part of the Avengers. Though, I bet that has to do with me not being an American.

Sean Bean is 100% the best choice.

Josh Holloway from Lost actually do has the looks.

But if they arent going to CGI Thors beefy looks, then I guess a guy like Triple H would be more suiting. The acting will suck though! And probably the movie to.
As for your Captain America, I belive the best way to introduce and sell

As for your Captain America, I belive the best way to introduce and sell that hero to the world would be to have the setting in WW2.
cool

Captain America
In fact, anyone who thinks Captain America is anything close to right wing, knows absolutely nothing about comics.

I don't believe the article meant the "intelligent" as in Ang Lee's Hulk. I think he was going for how well Iron Man, The Dark Knight, The Incredible Hulk were as opposed to say... Daredevil, Elektra or that God aweful Ghost Rider movie were.

James Garner for Captain America!
On second thought, that only works if he took the "super OLDER serum"

As for actors, Cap's tricky because his age is actually tied to his back story (he has to be of realistic enlisting age), but not too young or else he won't make a convincing leader for the Avengers. Personally, Josh Duhamel (Transformers, Las Vegas) is my number one choice, I think he's the right age, looks the part, and is at the perfect level of fame where he's had some high profile roles, yet wouldn't command a huge paycheck.
Batman and Captain America
Spare me your America-hating garbage...
Furthermore, Captain America is neither right-wing nor left wing. He's the moral compass. he's
Furthermore, Captain America is neither right-wing nor left wing. He's the moral compass. he's the embodiment of the ideals that stand at the heart of the country -- ideals that have been abandoned by lying, pandering, power-hungry and corrupt politicians on the left and on the right. So don't drag your whiny, asinine political axe-grinding into my comic book hero myths, please.
I'm with James Garner. You America-haters bore me to tears.
CAPTAIN AMERICA is, along with G.I. JOE, a [link] concept, even if there is any merit in cheering for the United States of America any more.
