More Thor Rumors

Marvel wants wrestler Triple H to play the god of thunder, while Vaughn is dead set against it.

From a physical standpoint, the WWE star whose mother named him Paul Levesque wouldn't be a bad choice -- and if Thor was being made 20 years ago, this is exactly the direction everyone would expect the project to go. (Matter of fact, we're sort of surprised Brian Bosworth never starred in a late '80s, direct-to-video Thor.) Still, it's easy to see why Vaughn would resist the studio's alleged overtures, and IESB claims that another actor under consideration for the part of Asgard's favorite son is the decidedly less bulky Kevin McKidd (of Rome).

Back in the day, of course, the comic-book version of Thor walked the Earth as the gimpy mortal Dr. Donald Blake, who transformed into his immortal alter ego by striking his cane on the ground -- so it isn't completely out of the question that both actors could wind up in front of Vaughn's cameras. Just a thought.
