Natalie Portman in Marvel’s Thor?
Now Deadline Hollywood is telling us that Mr. Hartnett is in the running for Thor, not Loki, and that Natalie Portman is apparently in line to play the female lead in the film.
“Sure, there’s a big push to cast Josh Hartnett in the winged helmet, which is ironic since Warner Bros once upon a time threw an amazing amount of money at him to play Superman but he refused. But my sources say there’s an equally powerful lobby to cast an unknown. I’ve heard that, besides Hartnett, the following actors are being tested: Charlie Hunnam (the British co-star of the F/X series Sons Of Anarchy); Tom Hiddleston (award-winning British actor and RADA graduate who played Winston Churchill’s son in HBO’s The Gathering Storm), Alexandar Skarsgard (Stellan’s son who has appeared in the HBO Iraq War miniseries Generation Kill and vampire drama True Blood, and who’s definitely visually right for the role), and Joel Kinnaman (some Danish dude). Meanwhile, I’m told Natalie Portman is in the lead for the female lead.”
So the shake up continues with doublespeak and every other kind of confusion there can be. That being said, I love Natalie Portman and welcome her in the film but having never read Thor I do not know who she could be playing? I know Loki ends up becoming a female character - is that who she would be playing?
