Chris from Star Trek in new Marvel film Thor

The House of Fear film No not Chris Pine, but Captain Kirk will be starring as Thor in the 2010 Marvel super hero film “Thor.” Take a good look folks, here is the new superhero face of Marvel. Chris Hernsworth Donald's Camera full movie
, who plays James T Kirk’s dead father and former Enterprise Captain George Kirk, will be playing Thor. Hernsworth is a relatively unknown actor as Marvel continues to cast non-A-listers to fill their massive super hero characters.
Like I mentioned earlier in my post about Chris Pine’s star power potential, we tend to see the roles of larger than life superhero characters being played by fairly unknown actors. This way the star power of the actor doesn’t overshadow the character.
To give a brief background of Thor – unlike most Marvel superhero’s
The Spiderwick Chronicles full movie , he is not of human origins. He is a Norse God with god-like strength capable of weather manipulation, flight, speed, and the ability to sustain everlasting life. I feel like this movie will be tough to make but I am confident it will be made right as Kenneth Brannagh is directing it.
What do you think?

I think a Thor movie is going to be terrible. I hope they’ll prove me wrong, but all I can hear is overheated dialogue and a lot of silly facial expressions. Of all the characters in the Marvel universe, they wanna make a movie outta Thor? Yikes.
@DebtHater, Well I agree that creating the movie is going to be difficult and could be bad as a result. But Kenneth Brannagh is behind it and he knows his stuff. I find it unlikely that he would screw it up. Lets wait and see
