Now that Kenneth Branagh's Thor movie has settled on a main cast, a script and a shooting date, the CIA-level secrecy is about to begin. THR is reporting that Colm Feore has signed on to play a villain in the film, and they're keeping his role so under wraps that they haven't even sent the poor actor his script.

Jaimie Alexander has also signed on, playing a romantic rival for Thor's affections who will presumably duke it out with Natalie Portman's character at some point. Sounds like a pretty uneven match-- Portman's character is a human, while Alexander's is a warrior from Thor's home country who goes into battle right alongside the men. She actually looks a fair amount like Portman, which might just get confusing. Hopefully the shroud of secrecy around this movie won't be so intense that we don't start getting some set photos soon.
