Karl Urban as Skurge the Executioner?


I love Karl Urban, but that wouldn't have been my first choice. That said, congrats to him on landing the role.

 

[jmdajr]

YASSSSSS

This movie is underrated.

"How...how much did this cost?"

 

[Anung]

Just remember that the next time Thor is in an Avengers movie he's gonna be doing Russo Bros action scenes.

 

[Father_Brain]

Its Marvel Newsday, would be surprised if we dont get this today.

Hmm, what's this? Haven't heard about any press event.

Yo, Jeff Goldblum just acting like Jeff Goldblum, just with some lazy alien makeup on? Like everything else looks amazing, but he just looks super slapdash? While wearing the leather coat? I would laugh so fucking hard.

 

[BotoxAgent]

Erm, they have one of the best (Loki) and one of the worst (Malekith).

yeah, I feel like I am the only person who really liked Thor 2 lol

 

[PadWarrior]

Isn't there an old issue where Hulk was taken to Asgard by a cosmic being as sort of a test to see what would happen? Maybe that's what grandmaster does?

yeah, I feel like I am the only person who really liked Thor 2 lol

I like both Thor movies

so i know in the comics hela is lokis daughter but i wonder if thats going to be true in the MCU

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Hmm, what's this? Haven't heard about any press event.

There were no event, but there is always one day were infos for the next couple of movies drop.
We had two annoucements today, so its a Marvel Newsday

 

[dragonyeuw]

Thor movies seems to be the only one with decent villains

Loki is the only truly decent villain in the entire run of films. The villain in Thor 2 is snooze-worthy.

 

[H.Cornerstone]

For real, get that in the thread title.

I think it's not in the thread title because that was quasi confirmed earlier when it was announced she was going to do the movie.

This is the first I have heard that Cate Blanchett will be Hela (the rumors were either Enchantress or Hela) and the first I've heard about Urban and Goldblum.

Much excite, my only worry is that there are too many badass people in this movie.

Although it will be awkward if they stick true to the stories/myth and Cate Blanchett is Tom Hiddleston's daughter....

 

[Hot Coldman]

They should cast Sly as Magus while they're picking apart the Creed cast

[massoluk]

He's the Grandmaster, the master of all of the games in the universe. He's extremely intelligent and has the Power Primordial (not the Power Cosmic) is pretty much immortal.

Interestingly, he was the owner of the Mind gem, which Thanos already had in the MCU. Who knows what they're going to do with him, but I imagine he's the one that sets up the Planet Hulk-esque gladiator games in this movie.

Haha I don't konw much about Marvel, but looks like he's indeed eccentric intellectual again, huh?

 

[Jeffolation]

This movie is underrated.

Hell yeah it is.

 

[Bold One]

They should cast Sly as Magus while they're picking apart the Creed cast

He's already in Guardians

 

[Einchy]

John Boyega is confirmed to not be in BP, by the way.

It's okay, I cried as well.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Goldblum in blue makeup and that hairstyle? Goldblumming it up?

YES.

 

[Angry Grimace]

At some point every major actor and actress will be involved with the MCU in some fashion.

Edit: Everyone keep mentioning Hulk...Hulk is still on earth. The ship the exiled himself in didn't seem like something that would be capable of leaving Earth's atmosphere.

Ruffalo has been confirmed for the movie for a long time.

That said, I don't think there's any casting announcement whatsoever that could get me hype for a Thor movie given the last two Thor movies.

 

[Hot Coldman]

He's already in Guardians

WHAT WHERE WHEN

 

[duckroll]

So....

Thor - Chris Hemsworth
Loki - Tom Hiddleston
Heimdall - Idris Elba
Odin - Anthony Hopkins

Bruce Banner/Hulk - Mark Ruffalo

Hela - Cate Blanchett
Grandmaster - Jeff Goldblum
Valkyrie - Tessa Thompson
Skurge - Karl Urban

Not bad.

I REALLY hope Heimdall has a bigger role this time around, he didn't do much in the last two movies. They're wasting Idris Elba.

If he doesn't, I'll be even madder at that stupid scene in Age of Ultron.

 

[thecouncil]

so now we just need the enchantress

Should be Eva Green.

Valkyrie confirmation, yes!

Marvel going all in.

Have people started complaining about race bending yet?!

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Holy shit, Goldblum is an amazing get.

Who's Skurge? Sounds like a villain, which worries me that he'll be some grim muscle. I don't want Urban wasted like Adewale was as Kurse

Skurge is muscle, but he is all sorts of badass. He serves Amora the Enchantress (who should play her????)

I guess it's like how Michael Bay says each Transformers film is his last.

Anthony Hopkins is confirmed, too?

Yes:

Thor’s new cast members join returning stars Chris Hemsworth (“Rush,” “In the Heart of the Sea,” “Ghostbusters”) in the title role for the fifth time; Tom Hiddleston (“Crimson Peak,” “The Night Manager,” “Kong: Skull Island”) as Thor’s adversarial, adopted brother, Loki; Golden Globe® and Screen Actors Guild Award winner Idris Elba (“The Dark Tower,” “Luther,” “Beasts of No Nation”) as the Asgardian sentry, Heimdall; and Academy Award®-winner Sir Anthony Hopkins (“Silence of the Lambs,” “Nixon,” “Hitchcock”) again portraying Odin, Ruler of Asgard.
