Latino Review has verified that Kenneth Branagh was seen having lunch with Alexander Skarsgård (Generation Kill, True Blood). Nothing official yet, but rumours abound that they were probably talking about Thor, Branagh's next directorial gig, which is in the process of casting. A look at the previously released casting description for Thor:
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.
...and it's not hard to see how Skarsgård might be in consideration for the title role. Of course, it's only what I've been saying for months.
Edit: Also, according to IESB, Josh Hartnett is on "a very short list" to play the antagonist, Thor's brother Loki.
