Stellan Skarsgård's 6"4 blonde giant of a son playing THOR?

By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

FACT: Latino Review have confirmed that Kenneth Branagh had lunch yesterday afternoon at an unnamed American restaurant. SPECULATION: Before that, the site recieved a tip that Branagh was having a lunch meeting with Alexander Skarsgård, the 32 year old son of veteran actor Stellan Skarsgård. Alexander is an actor on the shows TRUE BLOOD and GENERATION KILL. PUTTING TWO AND TWO TOGETHER: As Branagh is gearing up to direct THOR and Skarsgard is a giant 6 foot 4, blonde actor built like an Olympian God. Surely they were talking about this role... Does he fit the criteria as listed by Corona previously?

Male MUST BE MID-LATE 20€S and SIX FEET OR TALLER. LEAD. Physically powerful, very handsome, occasionally egotistical, petulant, and wild. A natural warrior with a quick charming wit who must be genuinely and severely humbled before becoming the compassionate, mature hero of our film.

THOR is set to open in July next year and will shoot this Summer, so whoever Branagh and Marvel have up their sleeve, we will surely find out soon.
