Kevin McKidd, who currently stars on "Grey's Anatomy," told IGN that he's still a contender for the lead role in Marvel Studios' Thor.

The actor, most known for "Journeyman" and "Rome," says there's been "a lot of back and forth" but that nothing has been determined. He acknowledged that Kenneth Branagh is directing it, a choice that makes him even more excited about the film.

Marvel Studios is targeting a July 16, 2010 release for Thor.

This is great news! I hope they sign him. I love HBO's ROME and he is perfect for the role. I can't believe I never thought of casting him at all.

What's up with idiots just claiming first anyway???? You didn't even say anything about the movie you fool. What's up with that? Being first on here and talkin about it means you got a small khok!

McKidd is too small to play thor, if only Triple H had better acting, everyone on here would vote him in.

This wrestler nonsense talk has to stop. Please no wrestlers in major roles like this. Don't you get it people? Actors like RDJ for Iron Man!!! Real actors like McKidd not Triple H...are you kidding?

I totally fricking agree with Mzike.

The only wrestler that can remotely act is Dwayne Johnson. (The Rock) But he was smart in going into acting full-time.

Triple H, yeah he's a strong guy. But him acting? Ouch. Blow to the hope I have for this world.

Maybe if he got like 80 acting lessons.
Wrestlers suck.


I think Kevin McKidd is a great choice!!

HAVE ANY OF YOU SEEN ROME?!
