What makes you think the "update" isn't going to be that she's Enchantress/Sif/Hela/another goddess?

I am going to say it this one time, and then I will never say it again.

She looks like a monkey ( balcony in star wars Ep 3 for reference. She has not shown any taken or emotional range in a movie since she was in the professional, and I will use ever part of the move she is in to go get more popcorn.

Also after Dark Knight and Iron Man, they need to learn that there really does not have to be a love interest, sure there is Pepper and Rachel but Pepper at least is important to the Iron Man franchise and Rachel was pretty much just a plot foil to get from point A-B. Oh and Thor works better doing god like stuff and fighting rather then hooking up with a nurse.

Ok thats my rant, final thoughts Love interest in Superhero movies should only be Fantastic Four, and Superman. Also Portman looks like a monkey

P.S I hope there is no love interest in Green Lantern, just a lot of poonhounding

I thought this about Vikki Vale in Batman (1989). I was an avid Batman comic reader at the time, and when I heard about the movie, I went, "Vikki who?"

"A powerful but arrogant warrior who's reckless actions reignite an ancient war"

Ironically, this was also the pitch for Oliver Stone's "W.".

Rob, also there's some other Goddesses from Norse mythology, including Hel and Sif that you mentioned, as well as Freya, Frigga, Hlin, Syn, Fulla, Verdande, Skuld, Urd, Sigyn, Gerda, Ran, Nerthis, Sunna (aka Sol), Skadhi, Ostara, Idunna, Var, Gefjon, Saga, Gna, Nanna, Eir, Beyla, Snotra... and I'm not even warmed up yet.

Arsenal, watch Garden State and you'll be reminded she can, in fact, act, when given the proper direction.

My current stance is that that SNL skit was better than the new Thor flick is going to be.

Unless it's just three hours of Norse gods busting shit up with their hammers and absurdly big axes and whatnot.

Then that would be ok, and I'll be in the audience opening night!

Just don't fuck this movie up Marvel.

I'm warning you.

StormSigma,

seriously? if that's your opinion that's fine, but you're obviously not a Thor fine. That's fine, but don't knock it for the rest of us. And seriously, Thor aside, Kenneth Branagh is totally legit. It will be an awesome movie.

I had completely forgotten that Thor had a love interest in the comics. Honestly... he's one of the last heroes that needs a romantic subplot. Look at the half hour, animated Hulk vs. Thor that came out several months ago. It got Thor out there hitting stuff with his hammer, and it was awesome. That's all people care want in the character, movie execs...

Ahhh...Natalie Portman. Sweet,sweet Natalie Portman...she's the only thing that kept me coming back to the prequels(and she did,in fact,suck in those-but I think that was more Lucas' fault). She was kickass in V for Vendetta....I am not displeased with this news.

Natalie's rap just scared the shit out of me.

"So why, when you have all these warriors and goddesses and sorceress would you decide to have some boring, plain-jane Earth nurse (no offense to nurses) who's barely been in a handful of Thor comics, virtually none of them meaningful? Whatever."

It depends on how its written. But sometimes contrast is good. Sometimes real life is like that. Sometimes a guy is tired of dating hot models and actresses who are bi-polar and the down to earth girl next door is a refreshing/compelling addition into your life.

@violence Jack

Yeah,I've heard about that. Look at Michael Jackson when he married Debbie Rowe.

Ok, terrible example.

I have seen and own that movie, and like it, but I was really not that impressed with her in it. She did a good job in the role, but her role was a very flat charecter, the only real thing with her was her talking about why she thinks she does what she does.

P.S I hope there is no love interest in Green Lantern, just a lot of poonhounding

You gotta remember that this is another big pitch to get the mass audience behind a character for the overall franchise and eventual Avenger movie. The majority of non-Thor fans don't want to see a god flying around talking like a Shakespearian reject busting shit non-stop. Mass audiences want a hero they can relate to, and the only way to do that with a god is to make him love a human (a la Superman)

I think its an unimportant role for an unimportant actress. I think she kicked ass in the professional but since then hasn't done a whole lot of good work. Thor will be good because after the turd storm that was wolverine marvel knows it screwed up a lil so they are gonna go out and do what they can to make this movie good.

"I dunno. I think it would be awesome if they had Arisia. "

If it's Hal it'll be Carol Ferris, obviously.

Another reason it's too bad it's not Kyle: they could have a different lead actress every 15 minutes.

I dunno. I think it would be awesome if they had Arisia.

I would like to see the Corps in the movie, but I don't see them delving into that the first movie, if anything we are going to get Carol maybe Cowgirl, Pie Faces mom maybe, next movie maybe some Corps and then Arisia might show up. That and the fact that she was basically 15 and used her ring to age her self to get down with highball jordan.

I really just hope that we get a cameo and the speech from the old black guy who talkes about how Green Lantern had done much for aliens with fantastic skin colors, but asked what he had done for the "black skins".

if you want to see, Hal as sad as he has ever been, other then that time that he had to go fight some alien rather then judge a wet t-shirt contest

It would be cool if she turned out like Thor's love interest in the Ultimate Marvel universe.

You may or not agree with using Jane Foster, but figuring out the reasons behind it doesn't seem like rocket science. There are two:

If the movie is all about gods, it's not "relatable." You need a regular person.

Nobody remembers or gives a shit about Jane Foster, so you can do whatever you want without sweating fanboy rants about how you "ruined" the character.

I love Natalie Portman and she will be great in this movie. Wheres the info on Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern, I didnt see it here?

Jessica Biel is rumored to play Sif or Enchantress.

In a Thor movie there should be no "love" interest, but there really should be A LOT of FUCK INTERESTS.

Thor should be screwing anything with a hole. He's a God for fuck sakes.

What a waste, she's such a great actress, and she's relegated to this?

Go SUCK some Dragon's BALLZ!!!
