Only thing I know about Hemsworth is that he was George Kirk in the Star Trek movie but he looks like he could be a good enough Thor. Obviously it also depends on what the costume looks like.

Its a casting call so it could go for both Mind Candy and Hidden Fortress

Well, a casting call has NOTHING to do with HF, and EVERYTHING with MC! Close this topic now!

Ah, but as a comic book film, it lands perfectly here in the Hidden Fortress

Two threads?! Jeez!

Facially, the dude looks like a Thor.

And in addition, we now have a Loki as well:

Tom Hiddleston has just been cast as Loki, and it seems he's done some decent work on stage and in Britain.

Don't worry, you'll always be my favorite British villain
