According to reports online, British thesp Stuart Townsend has left Kenneth Branagh’s THOR movie over ‘creative differences.’ Ooh, that old gem again. The real reason, we’re told is allegedly because the actor turned up nearly six hours late for a casting call. Ouch! By the way, that rumour started over at Aint It Cool News, and not here…
Just got dropped the rumor du jour… According to a source wishing to be known as Avatom Rothman, Stuart Townsend has been fired from THOR due to showing up 6 hours late for a screen test. If this does come to be true, this would be the second high profile fantasy role he’s lost after having been announced as landing the part. The first being the role of ARAGORN, which the public reason for losing the role was that they decided “he was too young” for the role.
Anyway, THOR is about to start filming on Monday,and Marvel has already announced his replacement (who will assume the role of Fandral), virtually unknown actor Joshua Dallas (THE DESCENT: PART II).
