Thunder or Lightning? That is the Question...

Radar Online reports that Shakespearean auteur and overwrought "thespian" Kenneth Branagh is directing Marvel Comics' movie adaptation of its hit comic book series "The Mighty Thor".

Just...just...wow...

The article also reports that "Rome" lead actor Kevin McKidd is leading contender to play Thor. (What, no Triple H?) I'm surprised Branagh has not made himself the lead, as he usually does in his films. Or maybe he thinks Loki is Iago and wants to play the villain?

This guy's ego will probably make this an entertaining film, whether he means to or not, in ways he may not have anticipated.

  2. To be fair, Triple H doesn't seem to know how to use a sledgehammer. He only uses the handle.
