Queen Padme to be Jane Foster? Such is the case as Marvel Studios announced today that Natalie Portman will star opposite Chris Hemsworth in Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of Thor. The Academy-award nominated actress will play the nurse, Jane Foster, who becomes Thor’s first love. Filming is set to begin in early 2010 for a May 20, 2011 release. Portman will next be seen in Jim Sheridan’s drama Brothers opposite Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire. While she was nominated for a supporting actress for her role in Mike Nichols’ Closer, Portman is best known to sci-fi fans for her role as Queen Padme Amidala in the Star Wars Trilogy.

An interesting casting choice. Can’t wait to see how they adapt the comic into a feature film.

I thought they should have cast Alexander Skarsgård from True Blood. I cannot possibly imagine a better Thor.

I’m disappointed that Alexander Skarsgard wasn’t cast to play Thor. He would have been absolutely perfect for the role.

Adding to the chorus of voices that Alexander Skarsgard should have been Thor. Once again, a comic book adaptation casting fail.

I will not be attending the Thor opening now that Skarsgard was passed over. He was the only reason I was going to go in the first place.
