    How will 'The Punisher' Do With 'Thor'? 

     
     Ray Stevensen

    Does it seem like actors that have previously portrayed superhero characters gravitate to superhero films again, or is it just me? According to a recent report from EMPIRE, actor Ray Stevenson who previously portrayed Frank Castle on the big screen, is gearing up to play Volstagg The Valiant in the upcoming Marvel film 'Thor.' Stevensen's character is a member of 'The Warriors Three,' and he will play alongside both Stuart Townsend and Tadanobu Asano. 

    No Caption Provided
    Traditionally, the character is supposed to be a bit on the large side, giving Stevensen very little time to bulk up, since filming will begin in about a month. The solution? Why, a fat suit, of course! 

    "I've tried the suit on, and what they've done is kind of sex him up: he's sort of slimmer but rounder. He's got every bit of that Falstaffian verve and vigour, and a bit of a beergut to suggest that enormous appetite, but he's not the sort of Weeble-shaped figure he is in the comics. He's Falstaff with muscles. I've got this amazing foam-injected undersuit that flexes with me. I can't wait!"

    It sounds like Stevensen is pretty geared up to get started, which makes things all the more exciting. What do you think of the idea of a 'Thor' movie? Are you looking forward to it?

    I really cannot imagine how they will make this movie without looking totally cheesy. Guess I'll have to be proved wrong.

    i like that he seems to respect comics when he talks about these parts. That always matters to me considering how Hollywood has destroyed super heroes in the past.

    theyre probably just something theyre comfortable with like a comfort zone or something they like plus money could be a factor but its probably just the genre they prefer to stick with same with Jet Li & martial art themed films & Jason Stathom & action films just what theyre good at & probably like

    I know this may be a bit off topis of what this thread is, but I was thinking about some of the casting of Thor, and I'm not sure if their going to include the Enchantress or not, but if they did, this woman came to mind for the role.  For those who've watched Xena back in the late 90's, the woman who played Callisto I think would be a good choice as the character.

    I was thinking that. But still, it's good to see Stevenson riding the Thor movie band wagon.
