Director Kenneth Branagh is going with a cast of unknowns for the upcoming Marvel superhero movie Thor.

This week puts the old adage “there’s no such thing as bad press” to the test for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which is still all over the news because of the leak of an unfinished but DVD-quality copy that appeared all over the internet on March 31st.

Marvel Studios recently pushed Thor’s release date from summer 2010 to summer 2011, but that hasn’t slowed down director Kenneth Branagh from searching for his cast. Branagh is a veteran of Shakespeare — he starred in and directed adaptations of Henry V, Much Ado About Nothing, and Hamlet, among others — so it’s perhaps unsurprising that [...]
