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.

Bella Swan has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen, a boy unlike any she’s ever met. Intelligent and witty, he sees straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Edward can run faster than a mountain lion, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands - and he hasn’t aged since 1918.
Like all vampires, he’s immortal. But he doesn’t have fangs, and he doesn’t drink human blood, as Edward and his family are unique among vampires in their lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will they do when Laurent and James, the Cullens’ mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for Bella?
