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.

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

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.
