Daniel Craig turns down role in Thor
Basically all comic book movie fans know that part of Marvel Studio's and Paramount Pictures line-up includes an adaptation of Thor. Over the last several months there has been plenty of rumors for a lead star. From Triple H (WWE) to Kevin McKidd but there hasn't been any more than that.
On Monday, IESB.net confirmed with Daniel Craig that he was offered the part of Thor. IESB said that they heard he was on a short list for the character but "Craig said yes they [Marvel] did approach him but he turned it down. He added jokingly, it would have been too much of a power trip, both Bond and Thor, and running around with long hair and a hammer."
Umm... I love Craig but I'm glad he turned down Thor. The part just didn't fit him. That's something I respect about some big time actors. They'll turn down roles because they know it's just not right.
Hopfully they'll find someone who'll be perfect for Thor.
