Thor’s Mom Will Be Rene Russo
Variety is reporting Rene Russo has joined the cast of the upcoming Marvel comic film, “Thor.” Russo will be playing Frigga, the mother of Thor, based loosely on Frigg of Norse mythology.
Production on the film begins in January of 2010 with Kenneth Branagh directing and Chris Hemsworth playing the hammer-weilding Thor. Paramount has set the release date for May 20, 2011.
As the wife of Norse god Odin, to be played by Anthony Hopkins in the film, Frigga is the queen of Asgard. She’s also the step mother of Thor and foster mother to Loki, the pic’s primary villain, played by Tom Hiddleston.
Natalie Portman will be playing Thor’s love interest.
I think Russo is a good actress and the cast is definitely taking shape, I’m just hoping they will all blend well together to make an awesome movie.
