Only someone who has NEVER read Thor comics would say something so ingonrant. That is exactly how they (attempt) to write the comics!
Damn Thor is Heating up!!!
rene russo is definately a hottie! was kinda hoping to hear she’d be playing the Enchantress
Awesome! Rene Russo is always a welcome addition. She’s been laying low for a few years so it’s going to be great to see her back on the screen. What a inspired choice! The talent involved in this flick is really impressive.
G.I.L.F
as long as they stay true to the book..i’m all for it….and so far with the characters i’m happy
As long as sum douchebag like McG, Michael Bay or Ang Lee isn’t directing it – I’m fine!!!
Now – is it true that Uwe Boll had shown interest in directing some of the Marvel Superheroes?
WHOAAA back up. Ang Lee a douchebag? Hulk sucked, but if anything he took the opposite approach – overly thoughtful and a bit to inward. Hardly douchebag style.
Where has Rene been!?!?!
