Okay, that sounds a bit harsh. Nothing wrong with the news that Stellan Skarsgard will be joining the cast of Thor, playing Thor’s dad, Odin.

I just REALLY think his son, Alexander, would have been perfect for the role of Thor. Especially now that his dad would have played his father in the film.

The news is courtesy of True Blood News.

UPDATE – Dark Horizons suggest that Stellan’s role is secret, so maybe its not Odin after all. It also says he only signed on after reading the script. One wonders if he read the script of Angels and Demons before choosing to act in that little masterpiece.
