Cast Call for Thor

According to Coming Attractions, "Thanks to one of our longtime scoopers, Coming Attractions has been given the casting call notice for the one and only Thor. What you're about to read is the physical and personality traits of what the movie's producers are looking for in their leading man. This information comes directly from the production and it provides an insight into what Branagh and the producers want to see in the actor that plays the Norse god of thunder.

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.

The start date of filming is given as July and the wrap is September."

Having the age be in the mid-late twenties gets rid of a lot of actors, especially some that were rumored to be engaged in talks with Marvel, such as Daniel Craig and Kevin McKidd.
A strong, young actor to play the title role in "Thor" won't be terrible. Does this mean it will be an unknown then?
More news to come! Catch ya' later!

Nothing wrong with an unknown-they all start out that way after all

A really true statement.
They did that with Brandon Routh for "Superman Returns."
He was relatively unknown back then.
