THOR

It seems that the alumni of HBO's ROME are branching out into top roles 7 months after the show left the airwaves. Stephanie Sanchez at IESB is reporting that actor Kevin McKidd (who portrayed Lucius Vorenus) is rumored to be in the top spot as the new THOR. This comes days after Matthew Vaughn was tapped to direct the adaptation of the comic series and a few weeks after his co-star, Ray Stevenson (who portrayed friend Titus Pullo), was grabbed as the new PUNISHER. Scribe Mark Protosevich (I Am Legend) inked the script.
