I love Alexander Skargard! He’s the son of actor Stellan Skarsgard and he currently appears on the hit HBO series True Blood. The actor will be making a big screen impression in the remake of the 1971 film Straw Dogs. According to Variety, Skarsgard will join James Marsden and Kate Bosworth for the film based on the Sam Peckinpah original.
More on Straw Dogs after the jump.
The latest casting buzz surrounding Marvel’s individual Avenger’s properties has slowly moved from the Iron Man sequel over to Thor. In the past few weeks we’ve heard speculation regarding who will play the title role, as well as the main villain in the film. Some of the names that have been thrown around for Thor range from Kevin McKidd (Trainspotting, Grey’s Anatomy) to Alexander Skarsgard (HBO’s True Blood). Josh Hartnett has been rumored to play the film’s villain Loki ,the brother of Thor who is the self-proclaimed God of Evil. With Hartnett’s possible involvement already throwing me for a loop, I just got wind of an even weirder casting development. Ms. Natalie Portman may be in the running to star in the film as well!
Recently over at LatinoReview a reader wrote in that Alexander Skarsgard (“True Blood”) was having lunch with Kenneth Branagh and suddenly EVERYONE thinks that Skarsgard is set to be in Thor. After all, he’s a tall blond guy, he must be starring in the film!
