Marvel officially announced today that Tom Hiddleston is set to play the villain Loki in the comic book based “Thor flick.... This epic adventure spans the Marvel Universe; from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war.
Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.
Kenneth Branagh will direct the film from a script by Mark Protosevich (I Am Legend), Ashley Miller (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) and Zack Stentz (Agent Cody Banks) .
"Thor" reunites Hiddleston with Branagh, with whom he has worked twice before
Hiddleston was also up for the lead at one point which now belongs to Chris Hemsworth as of a few days ago--or does it?
Both Variety and The Hollywood Reporter say Hemsworth is Thor but no word from Marvel today...kinda odd..
The pic will release on May 20th 2011.
