THOR
Nuke the Fridge is reporting actress Jessica Biel is in talks to appear as a love interest for the God of Thunder in the forthcoming Marvel film. There's just one small problem. They cannot pin down exactly who she is going to play. The site claims, "Our source was not sure of the character's name, but seemed to believe it was the same female character from the animated 'Hulk vs Thor.' If that is the case, since 'Jane Foster' [a past love of Thor/Donald Blake] was not in the animated movie, Biel is more than likely playing either 'Amora, The Enchantress' or 'Sif.'"
Directed by Kenneth Branagh. release date: May 20, 2011
JONAH HEX
Justin Grey, co-writer of DC's current "Jonah Hex" series spoke with Elizabeth Rappe over at Cinematical about the film. In particular, he singles out Josh Brolin, the man playing Hex. "He was very happy to sit and talk with Jimmy Palmiotti and I about the role, his portrayal and overall feeling of the film. He was loving the role and you could see it pouring out of him during takes," Gray says. "The approach they're taking is exactly right, straight western with a style that breaks from the perception that a western should be slow moving."
