LivingLegendGaryColeman 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2007 Found this on Rajah.com: Several comic book news websites are reporting that WWE superstar Triple H being considered for the lead role in upcoming "Thor" movie. The Marvel Comics superhero is based on the mythological god of thunder and war. Unfortunately for Triple H, there is one major obstacle in his way. Director Matthew Vaughn is not happy that a pro wrestler is being considered for the lead role in his biggest project to date. He addressed the rumor of Triple H's involvement in a recent interview. "I'll give you two reasons I dont put much stock in the otherwise very interesting rumor - "Chris" and "Benoit". With wrestling taking its biggest PR hit ever, I would be incredibly surprised if Marvel were to take that big of a risk with Thor." The Thor character is a comic book superhero and the mythological god of thunder and war. The movie is scheduled for a 2009 release. It is being produced by Marvel Entertainment and will be distributed by Paramount Pictures. I checked Superherohype.com which is where I rely on for most of my comic movie news and have not seen this. I did find something on Comics2Film.com when trying to research it, but I don't really know that sorce. It could just be a rumor, but if that quote from the rumor is true, that is a dick move by the director. I don't know if I'd want a wrestler as a lead in a movie either for a few reasons, but saying you don't want to cast him because of Chris Benoit is silly. Especially when the movie won't be in theaters until a year or two after the incident occurred. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 Source: Moviehole.net Kevin McKidd, fresh from the TV series Rome, is rumoured to have snag the lead role in Thor, Matthew Vaughn’s film take on the classic Marvel comic, according to IESB.net. If true, McKidd will be the second cast member from Rome to have scored a superhero gig in recent weeks – co-star Ray Stevenson was recently sworn in as the new Punisher. Whatcha think? is this guy the Thunder God? The guy is a better actor the 'H, and the guy with him is Ray Stevenson, the future Frank Castle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 But I thought Daredevil was good! Then again, that was after I had seen it in its true form with the Director's Cut. There is a Captain America movie in the works set to be released in 2009. Rumor has it Paul Walker will be Cap though... I'll take HHH as Thor. Better than him being Conan.

Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 wait...Ray Stevenson as Frank Castle? SOLD! Kevin McKidd? Sure, as Donald Blake, I'll buy that, but as Thor himself? I just don't know....McKidd's not exactly a big dude. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pro wrestling is NEVER going to be looked at the same by the general population. Before it was just seen as silly fake stuff. Now it is seen as that place where roided up murderers are.

I am pretty sure the issue with that was Jane thought the script for the second wasn't true to the character and rather than fixing it, they let him leave and took someone else.
