The Warriors Three Line Up For Thor
Marvel’s latest superhero to hit the big screens, and Kenneth Branagh’s comicbook masterpiece, Thor, may well have finalised it’s cast list.
Variety reports today that Stuart Townsend, Ray Stevenson, and Tadanobu Asano have been brought on to the project as Warrior’s Three, a trio of Norse God types who fight alongside the famous Asgardian hero. This from Variety:
Townsend, who last wrote and directed “Battle in Seattle,” plays Fandral, a character which was drawn in the comic book series based on Errol Flynn and his movies. Stevenson, the “Rome” star, plays Volstagg the Valiant, a hard-living brawler, a character inspired by Falstaff. Asano, best known for starring in “Mongol,” plays Hogun the Grim, the third warrior and traveling companion of the hammer-swinging Thor, who is played by Chris Hemsworth.
The three join an already bulging cast – including the likes of Anthony Hopkins, Natalie Portman and Stellan Skarsgård. Production is set to begin in January, so you can be sure we’ll have more mighty updates soon!
