MTV are reporting that Star Trek and Crank: High Voltage actor Clifton Collins Jr. is in talks for a role in the Thor adaptation:

“I had a little meeting. I think I can say that much. [...] ['Thor' director] Kenneth Branagh is a bad-ass. I’ve been a fan of his as an actor and I know he’s gonna be amazing as a director for this piece.”

“Believe me, I’m itching to say all kinds of stuff,”

“It’s going to be a beautiful thing, I’m sure,” said Collins. “It’s an amazing comic book. If you grew up reading these comic books, he was definitely a bad-ass, that guy.”

No word yet on the character he might play.
