Brad Pitt as Thor: What Do You Think?
Comic Book Movie News, Featured, Thor (2011) Movie — By Nix on May 14, 2008
Forget for one moment that Marvel’s announced “Thor” movie no longer has a director, or even a star except a rumor about Brad Pitt being offered the role. What it does have is a sorta finished script by Mark Protosevic (”I am Legend”). Now forget all that stuff, and just concentrate on this question: Rumor has Marvel pursuing Brad Pitt to play the role of the Asgardian God of Thunder, Thor. What do you think about this potential casting?
For it, against it, don’t care?
And if not Brad Pitt as Thor, then who?

ok. Brad Pitt is a great actor. He’s got blonde hair. Also, he’s not some pretty boy. Have you seen SNATCH? He’s pretty hardcore in that movie. Plus, with all they can do with computers, i think they can make him pretty buff.
I’d much rather have a computer-enhanced Brad Pitt than Triple-H. He’d ruin the movie. Nobody would take him seriously.I mean look at Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Anytime he’s in a movie all you hear is giggles throughout the audience.
Also, Karl Urban? NO. You need a real actor. Robert Downey Jr. = Real Actor, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man= Good Movie. Karl Urban = Unconvincing Actor, Karl Urban as Pathfinder = Dumb Movie
All I’m saying is get a good actor and size won’t matter. And Brad Pitt is a good actor.
ya but with really good actors comes really big paycheaks and lets be honest the marvel movies kinda lack story when theres alot of big budget stars just look at x men thy were good movies not great they wana do avengers so there gona have to so far put robert downy jr ed norton and lets just say brad pitt and whoever plays captain america i feel the story would lack all those actors need time on screen or else it turns into the wolverine show like xmen did not knocken pitt as an actor hes awsome playing achiles he probly could pull of thor and im sure they can buff him up but think of an avengers movie with all those guys it would suck
Brad Pitt (IS NOT EVEN WORTHY OF LIKING THE BOOTS OF THOR)
hulk hogan would fit.
Yeah, Hulk Hogan could play either Toothgrinder or Toothnasher. (For those of you who are unfamiliar with either of these two characters, they are the Asgardian billy goats that pull Thor’s chariot).
BRAD PITT FOR THOR!!
Brad Pitt as Thor?!?! ummm…NO!
Sure, he is a good actor, even has good looks, but as Thor?!?! You HAVE TO BE KIDDING! Sure, there’s CGI to do that video magic, but the guy would have to play ALONG SIDE Iron man, Captain America, etc. in The Avengers. What? CGI that movie as well? Then there are the interviews… Hell you CAN’T CGI those and the World sees a twerp playing HUGE (6′-6″ according to Marvel) THOR, Norse GOD of Thunder!
Simply get someone who has a pretty good size (At least 6′-4″) and build who can act at least a little… sheese! They could save 10 Million dollars that could be used elsewhere by NOT having to CGI the little twerp.
I do not even care for Thor all that much, but would “Like” to see what they do. I would NOT go see it if that twerp is Thor. It would be hard enough (being a Hulk fan and all) but to sit through that little twerp playing Thor would be too much to ask! UNLIKE Hulk 1 and Iron Man (which I have seen multiple times)… it will be a BUST if that twerp is Thor. I would NOT waste my money on that twerp….and NO DVD.
Again… NO!
Did I say that he (Brad) was a twerp? No? Well, he is a twerp!
HULK SMASH!
Brad Pitt could ONLY play Donald Blake,which is Thors human disguise.Never could he BE Thor simply because Thor is too damn big and strong!!!!Thor can lift well over 100 tons according to Marvel.Can u see Brad Pitt lifting up a tank or airplane? hahahaha!!!!
What about Brad Pitt as Captain America?
Also I have read everything you guys have said about Thor and truthfully I have no idea who you can get to play him. I think if he has his own movie then it can’t be HHH. I agree I don’t think he has the acting skills to carry a movie. Any of the other actors you guys have named could pull off the acting but they can’t pull off the size and character of Thor…
The casting director will have a difficult time finding the right fit that is for sure.
I agree with the idea of Brad Pitt as Captain America rather than Thor. Also, My vote goes for Karl Urban or Craig Daniel for Thor.
Vladimir Kulich would be a great thor
I totally agree with you:o)

I agree with those who say an unknown would be best to play Thor. I’m a Brad Pitt fan but he would be better suited to play Cap than Thor. He can act but he couldn’t pull off achilles as an actor, the god of thunder is beyond his range. I love WWE as much as the next geek but casting HHH would be a disaster. Maybe he could have a role as a villain or maybe even one of the warriors three but not Thor.
I thought about the guy(s) from Lord of the Rings and they may fit economically and acting wise but I don’t think either is handsome enough to play Thor (same with HHH by the way). I think it should be some unknown from Britain. Someone with a Shakespearean background and the imposing stature.
I love Marvel but Thor has always been my favorite. Here’s to hoping Marvel will continue to get it right.
Brad Pitt would be better suited to play Dr. Don Blake.
