Thor might have finally become its won project in my mind, since I usually think of it as Kenneth Branagh’s Thor. Up until now, we hadn’t really heard who might be stepping into the winged cap to wield Mjolnir for the justice of the Gods of Asgard.

But a juicy rumor has me thinking that Branagh is circling his Thor, and I think it’s a great choice…

From Latino Review:

A short while ago, I received an email from a scooper…

In it, he goes…

Hey Mayimbe,

Long time reader, finally with something juicy. I had a first hand eyeball witness of Kenneth Branagh eating dinner at Blairs today accompanied by a young Blonde actor who i recognized from HBO’s awesome miniseries Generation Kill that was on a year or so ago. I had no idea what his name was but I got home today and Googled him, his name is Alexander Skarsgård. I have no idea if he actually is Thor or not, maybe he’s being considered, maybe he and Kenneth are just friends. However, it seems likely he is being considered since he’s a young Blonde actor and seems to fit the description of the character. Two other men were with them but I didn’t recognize either of them. I know it’s speculative at best, even so I thought you’d wanna know.

That’s this guy from HBO’s Generation Kill and True Blood (he’s awesome in both, maybe one of the best parts in the latter):

Call me crazy, but I think this is a great choice. Guy looks like he could be Thor and his acting chops ain’t so bad either.
