Not a day goes by without a new update on Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of "Thor". According to "The Hollywood Reporter" Idris Elba will play Heimdall, the guardian of Thor's home land of Asgard joining a long list of actors who were already cast for the shooting which begins in January. It is a bit weird, considering he's black, but hopefully they'll fit him somehow in the world of Nordic gods :)
It doesn't mater to me if one of Asgard Gods is played by black actor. I'm more concerned with Natalie Portman and her character. I would've preferred some other actress, more exciting than Portman. And some other character, more exciting than nurse Foster. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, my point exactly :) Natalie is extremely cold and one-dimensional, and I always thought such super hero movies, together with historical ones, demand exciting, expressive, sexy actresses who can both act and look good.
