THOR movie has found it Sif. According to Hollywood Reporter, Jaimie Alexander who starred in the canceled series Kyle XY, will play Sif in the Marvel big screen version directed by Kenneth Branagh, already starring Chris Hemsworth as the hero with the mighty hammer and Tom Hiddleston as the villain Loki and Natalie Portman as THOR’s mortal love interest Nurse Jane.
Sif is a tough female Asgardian warrior who grew up with THOR. So there’s a love triangle story here that will be explored a bit because according to Marvel, the god of thunder is in love with Nurse Jane but then is also passionate about Sif. But sadly Sif likes the world of gods better and THOR, on the other hand, finds home in earth. We’ll see if the movies does its own version.
Alexander isn’t the only one that recently joined the cast, veteran actor Colm Feore (TV’s 24) is also in but his role is currently kept secret. Word has it the studio isn’t even sending him the script, though he would most likely play a villain.
This epic adventure spans the Marvel Universe; from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth
Production is set to start in 2010.
