First Thor Image Kind of Reminds Us of Someone
If you're still wondering why Kenneth Branagh was hired to direct the big-budget adaptation of Marvel's Thor, perhaps the first image of the character will convince you.
Maybe it's just us, but this photo of actor Chris Hemsworth is a little evocative of Branagh himself, no? And now that we mention it, there are more than a few similarities between the two: both Thor and Branagh are accented, blond-whiskered leading men capable of bringing a Shakespearean bellow to pulpy genre fare, and both are very amenable to falling in love with their leading ladies. Emma Thompson is just going to take a pass and wait for Captain America instead.
Here's a bigger view of ol' Thor:

I'd let him hammer me.
You want him to "Branagh" you?
I like it. It looks updated but still fits with the original design without looking out of place
They both kind of look like chunkier versions of William Atherton.
Think “Richard Branson last Halloween”.
