What Cracked Said:
Vaughn apparently didn’t get the memo that he had switched genres, and is directing a movie about a guy who looks like this: (took that picture out, just see the image there or the actual article)
… because they’re in talks to cast Kevin McKidd in the lead role. He played Lucius Vorenus from the HBO series Rome, but he’s best known as Tommy from Trainspotting. That’s right, they’ve cast one of the heroin addicts from Trainspotting as Thor. Sure he’s a good actor and we’re all for British grit, but that guy’s 50 pounds shy of being believable as Thor’s love interest.
What BW Says:
For whatever reason, that movie was never made, but the current one will be part of the “Movie continuity” Marvel Studios has been putting together with the Iron Man and Hulk movies. I wonder how they feel about the current Thor, Chris Hemsworth. I know nothing about him. Frankly, if it’s better than this:
I think fans won’t be as disappointed as the writer thinks.
