Chris Hemsworth is Thor Thor Thor!
Aussie actor Chris Hemsworth has been chosen to play thunder god Thor in Marvel Studios’s live-action film due out in theaters on May 20, 2011.
Thor will be directed by Kenneth Branagh (Much Ado About Nothing, Sleuth). Daniel Craig reportedly turned down the lead role of Thor.
For more scoop, check out Nikki Finke!
Hemsworth, 25, is best known for playing the father of Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) in the opening scenes of Star Trek, in theaters now.
WHAT DO YOU THINK of Chris Hemsworth as Thor — YAY or NAY?
P.S. Chris’s equally-as-handsome younger brother Liam Hemsworth was recently as Miley Cyrus’s love interest in The Last Song.

I don’t know him! but he’s cute and it’s always good to give new people chances so why not, good for him
Actually he is best known for being on the Aussie soap Home & Away
Isnt he that guy from Aussie soap Home and Away?
Oh, dear God, YAY! He was total hotness in Star Trek, made my puzzy clench! Hehehe! Spock too!
I can’t wait to see him in a tight suit! Hehehe! He’s ten times cuter than Bad Pitt ever was.
@Sheema:
Great minds think a like :)
Sounds good to me, i used t love him in home and away !
aww i remember watching him on home and away! :)
Kim!
and yes i agree, that’s what he’s well known for, well in the UK and AU probably.
well done! just like Isla Fisher going from home and away/soap-land to Hollywood!
He was complete hotness in Star Trek. Too bad he died so quickly.
Would have been nice to see Kirk & Kirk together! LORDAMERCY
Hmm, didn’t know he was Aussie. But dear god, I bet he will be compared to Chris Pine (who share the same first name, played his father on Star Trek, and looks eerily similar) for the rest of his career. Heck, I thought the default picture of him was Chris Pine!
he’s gorgeous and manly
Nice. What a cutie. I had zero interest in Thor but now I don’t think I’d mind staring at that for two hours. lol
that’s our chris! he’s making us aussie’s proud!
