Seems like the movies are more going off the Ultimate Avengers though, especially with S.L. Jackson as Nick Fury.

then they should cast the guy who played the viking chief in the 13th warrior ..

i found out at a christmas party last year that he grew up a few houses down from where i live.

Is this part of the Ultimates version of the Avengers?

Then I can definally see Pitt doing it well - a kinda more hippy version of the fight club character..And they can definally make him look a lot bigger too.

Seems like the Ultimate Avengers to me, Nick Fury did and so did Iron Man (and so does Hulk so far) but I don't know. Haven't read a lot of the comics so I could be wrong.

Brad Pitt is definitely too old to be Thor. The 90's Brad could maybe do it. They need a younger Dolph Lungren.

History: Descended from Norse gods, Thor nearly started a war by violating a truce with his family's ancient enemy --the Frost Giants. Odin, his father, banished the young god of thunder to Earth without his memory, to teach Thor how to behave as a mere mortal. After a decade as an earthly doctor, Donald Blake was drawn to Norway, and a subsequent encounter with a race of warmongering aliens. While hiding out in a cave, Blake found a mysterious wooden cane that turned out to be the enchanted hammer Mjolnir -- which transformed him back into the mighty Thor. He drove off the alien invaders and took his place with the Avengers. Shaking off the Blake persona, Thor was soon forced to assume the human identity of EMS technician Jake Olsen. Thor is forever torn between his divine home -- the hallowed halls of Asgard -- and the troubled lands of his adopted home, Earth.

a lot of blonde guys are pretty dense :D

I have no idea about how Thor is portrayed these days, but back when he was Don Blake whenever he would smack that hammer down he would grow bigger- kind of like a Hulk transformation. Perhaps they're planning something like that.

Jason Mewes should bulk up.
