I'm with you on this one. Red Dawn!? Really!? I really don't care who plays Thor. I'm not sure its that demading of a role and I think most people could play it. With makeup, film tricks, weightlifting, and CGI anybody will be able to look the part. Who cares? I'm also on board with the post that said this guy could be Captain America. I think Trek's Chris Pine could also be a good choice. Way more interested in that debate than "who should play thor?" You could get the Beowulf CGI to play Thor and I'd probably be fine with it. “All I get fromthis whole story – There’s going to be a remake of RED DAWN?”
