Alexander Skarsgard as Thor ?

First of all, the following story is speculative and circumstantial at best, and as such, should not be considered more than a rumor at this point… but we’ll bite. LatinoReview had discounted a rumor previously floating around that actor Alexander Skarsgard was in line for the role of Marvel’s Thor, but today they received a tip that Thor directorr Kenneth Branagh was spotted having lunch with Skarsgård and a couple unrecognizable gentleman. Could this confirm that the True Blood star is in line for the role?

Stellan Skarsgård’s son sure fits the previously released casting description, and definitely looks the part:

Male MUST BE MID-LATE 20′S and SIX FEET OR TALLER. LEAD. Physically powerful, very handsome, occasionally egotistical, petulant, and wild. A natural warrior with a quick charming wit who must be genuinely and severely humbled before becoming the compassionate, mature hero of our film. (via: Corona)

Also, Skarsgård and Branagh have the same agency representation (Endeavor Agency). But bottom line is, it could just be one big coinicidence. But lets pretend for a second that Skarsgård is in line for the role, do you think he would make a good Thor? ......

Oh heavens yes! He would be a great Thor and I would be at the theater on opening day to see those muscles. I hope Thor gets a sex scene!
