Im looking forward to this movie. And am happy with the casting. I am also looking forward to the Captain America movie to which will be announced soon enough.

I just hope the rumors are true and that the studio will be able to pay all 4 actors for the Avengers Movie.

(Iron man a.k.a Robert Downie Jr)
(The Hulk a.k.a Ed Norton)
(Thor a.k.a Chris Hemsworth)
(Cap America) .

Have them fight the Red Skull will be one hell of a movie i think. Jon Favreau needs to direct it!

Out of Marvel and DC worlds i think Marvel is doing it right. Doing individual movies leading up to one massive Onslaught of awesomeness.

DC on the other hand has the emo Superman (And I love superman, but that movie was just ok, No Chris Reeves by any means) Batman, which have been great. Then the most recently announced Green Lantern (Which should be good). But there is no way they will have all three + actors come together for a Justice League.

Fingers crossed for the next few years in comic movies!

Looks like a good role for Brian Blessed.............

Big, bearded and with a voice like a 747 singing opera Brian Blessed was born to play Odin

He was so perfect as Vultan

I collect comics, and Thor is my favorite. I hope they can make him out as powerful as he needs to be for the film to be really good, and try to keep with the comic story line as much as possible.
