Casting for Kenneth Branagh’s Thor continues and guess who’s next in line for an audition? Dominic Cooper. While at an interview with Movieline, the interviewer, Kyle Buchanan, caught a glimpse of some script sides Cooper had on him. After chatting about An Education, Thor came into question.
When asked if he’s up for a role in the film, Cooper replied, “Ummm … yeah. Kind of.” Cooper even questioned him on what role Buchanan thought would suit him best. Buchanan mentioned Fandral, a member of the Warriors Three, a group who fought alongside Thor. If Fandral is indeed part of the storyline that means Marvel is looking for Volstagg and Hogun as well. In light of yesterday’s Thor news, I can see Robert DeNiro as Hogun, but certainly not Jude Law as Volstagg the Enormous.
I’m still wary of DeNiro and Law’s casting, but the fact that Cooper and Law are good pals hints at some justification. Of course, the opportunity to work with a buddy could be attained by chance, but maybe there’s friendly networking going on behind closed doors.
