Daniel Craig has been indeed considered to be the leading man in “
Thor“.
Craig,
Olga Kurylenko and director
Mark Forster attending the press day in Beverly Hills on Monday, October 20, for the 22nd Bond film “
Quantum of Solace“. IESB's Robert Sanchez talked with both Olga and Daniel, who actually had a bit to say about another widely known hero, Thor, who is currently set up over at
Marvel for a 2010 release with
Kenneth Branagh attached to direct.
IESB asked if Craig was interested in doing something a little different character-wise, like Thor? Craig said no, he turned it down and laughed about it.
Sanchez continued, “seriously, I heard the folks over at Marvel had you on a short list to be Thor.”
Craig said yes they [Marvel] did approach him but he turned it down. He added jokingly, it would have been too much of a power trip, both Bond and Thor, and running around with long hair and a hammer.
So far, “Thor” has been linked to many actors from wrestler-turned-actor
Triple H to Hollywood superstar
Brad Pitt. However, up to date, there is yet real indication on who will tackle the part. The search for Thor continues! [source: IESB]
