The courage of a white blonde and muscular man. They're all out there looking like Johnny Bravo, yet they think that they're special. I don't know what MCU saw in Hemsworth that they didn't see in other actors since I found out that ASkars also auditioned for the role.

the body?

Did you read the post at all? lol

[helliosx]

I answered the question, idk what to tell you. The poster asked what mcu saw in Chris, that they didn't see in other actors namely askars, and the fucking answer is the body.

[tetrazzinichikn]

But this post is literally about them NOT casting due to

You're not watching much action if you think Hemsworth is unique in his body and face. LOL They're dime a dozen. It's not just body, and it's not just face. MCU wants a certain type in terms of working together. It was one of the reasons they were insistent on casting Evans as Steve Rogers and also one of the reasons they weren't sure about RDJ as being Tony Stark.

Voice was a part of that too probably, Chris has a much more commanding voice/presence in that sense.

[solira21]

Yep & I think the fact that he was unknown really worked for them

[tomelette]

Yep, ASkars is very soft-spoken. He can use his voice to be menacing but even that is very soft-spoken imo.

If only we could all have the self-assurance of these Johnny Bravo types.
