Nukethefridge.com reported today that an “inside source” leaked information about a new cast to the new Thor movie directed by Kenneth Branagh (Henry V). The new cast member is reportedly Jessica Biel (Easy Virtue, Next). If cast, she might be playing Thor’s love interest Jane Foster. No other news has been released on the film. Thor is set for a May 20, 2011 release.
I’m not too happy about this news. I have never seen a Jessica Biel film I really enjoyed. If anything, she is a comic actor and I don’t think she has what it takes for a superhero film. I am looking forward to a live action Thor film but if this rumor is true then I will have a lot of doubts.
What do you think of this latest Thor update?
