Thursday's here!
May. 9th, 2013 08:18 amIn case you haven't heard the big news, there is talk of Marvel having trouble signing actors up for Avengers 2.
Looks like the long-standing battle of brands vs. stars is coming to a head. It's certainly going to be interesting to see who folds first, and what happens if the roles do get re-cast. Personally, I tend to watch films with my favourite actors in it, or by my favourite directors, so unless they cast, say, Tom Hardy, I'll have no interest in the Avengers 2 without Chris Hemsworth. But I can totally see how comic books fans, or Whedon fans, might not care who plays the characters one way or the other.
I will say this, though - I would miss Thor's bulk on Chris. Ron Howard, who seems to have adopted Chris as his muse, is for some reason intent on starving the poor guy. Literally, since he's now got him to play a starved whale-hunter in In the Heart of the Sea. I'd much rather Chris played Thor... :is shallow:
