Stuart Townsend, Ray Stevensen and Tadanobu Asano Join Marvel’s Thor
So the cast of Marvel’s Thor continues to get better and better as we finally know who the Warrior’s Three are going to be. Jude Law and Robert DeNiro had been rumored for roles and they may still be but we can take them off the Warrior’s Three speculation.
(Via Movieweb) Variety has reported, but then removed the article, saying that Marvel Studios and Thor director Kenneth Branaugh has set Stuart Townsend, Ray Stevenson, and Tadanobu Asano to play the trio of Asgardian adventurers who fight alongside the Norse god, called The Warriors Three. Being that the article has been removed means possibly this information came out a little too early.
The Warriors Three is a group of fictional characters who served as supporting cast members in the Thor comics. They are made up of Asgardians Fandral, Hogun & Volstagg. Though the characters are gods of Asgard, they are original creations of the comics and not based on characters from Norse mythology.
Fandral (presumably Townsend) is the most dashing of the three and has somewhat of a Errol Flynn look to him. Fandral is a warrior of Asgard and an adventurer. He is an irrepressible swashbuckler and romantic. His bravery and optimism often puts the group in highly disadvantageous positions.
Then there is Hogun the Grimm (presumably Asano). He is characterized as brusque, taciturn, and often short-tempered demeanor. He is the brooding pessimist of the group, as opposed to Volstagg’s (the third of the Warrior’s Three – presumably Stevensen) irrepressible good humor and Fandral’s brash heroism. He is a fierce and unrelenting warrior, a collector of weaponry and often the voice of reason for the Warriors Three.
The cast of the movie already includes Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, Jaimie Alexander, Colm Feore, Samuel L. Jackson and Stellan Skarsgard.
