Daniel Craig turned down THOR

By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

Daniel Craig, who as I've mentioned would have made an awesome Captain America if it wasn't for the fact he was English... has told IESB that Marvel have already approached him in regards to leading one of their upcoming tentpoles. The James Bond actor tells the site Marvel asked him to play THOR but he had to turn them down because he didn't think he could fulfill two rigorous franchises.

Craig said yes they 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.

And of course he's right... the scheduling would never work out... Marvel and Columbia would want him back time and time again for their projects. No word on whether this offer came in the Matthew Vaughn era of the project's development or more recently with Kenneth Branagh.
