Thor Adds The Warriors Three
Director Kenneth Branagh is putting the final touches on the cast for Thor, which will begin production in January in Los Angeles and shoot in Santa Fe, New Mexico beginning in March until late April.
With a cast that already includes Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Anthony Hopkins as his father Odin, Natalie Portman as nurse Jane Foster, Jaimie Alexander as the Asgardian warrior Sif, Tom Hiddleston as the villain and Thor’s brother Loki, as well as Stellan Skarsgard and Colm Feore, Branagh has picked the three actors who will play The Warriors Three.
The Warriors Three are a Marvel Comics creation – three Asgardians gods who fight alongside Thor. They include Volstagg the Valiant (Ray Stevenson), Fandral the Dashing (Stuart Townsend) and Hogun the Grim (Tadanobu Asano).
Stevenson is the star of the hit tv series Rome but also starred in Punisher: War Zone last year.
Townsend is best know for playing Lestat de Lioncourt in Queen of the Damned and Dorian Gray in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Tadanobu Asano is considered the Johnny Depp of Japan. He is probably best known in North America for his roles in Ichi the Killer and Mongol.
Thor will be in theatres on May 20, 2011.
