Jessica Biel In Talks For Thor?
/Film — According to an unnamed source who spilled to Nuke The Fridge, Jessica Biel is currently negotiating a role in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor. If true, and let’s pretend for a moment that it is, this would seem to simultaneously stomp on the rumour that Natalie Portman was up for the female lead and those never ending Jessica Biel Wonderwoman stories (though stomping on those is rather like stomping on mist and just about as necessary). Who would she play? There’s a handful of options but other information on the film would seem to suggest it isn’t Nurse Jane Foster. In the ...

Rumor Patrol: Jessica Biel in Talks for Thor
Film School Rejects — The folks over at Nuke the Fridge have laid down some rumors today linking noted hottie Jessica Biel and the upcoming Marvel Studios production of Thor, which will be directed by Kenneth Branagh. According to their anonymous tipster, Biel is in talks to play the “love interest” of the title character, who will be played by Star Trek’s Chris Hemsworth.

Jessica Biel Rumored for 'Thor' Love Interest
Get The Big Picture — ... Certainly, on the other hand, Biel is a bigger "name" as those things go, but I don't think I need to tell you that she's not in Portman's league on screen. However, she's probably a better fit for a movie like Thor than Portman could ever be, especially if there's any action involved. Nuke The Fridge says that Biel is in talks to play Thor's love interest, but points out specifically that she won't be Jane Foster, the arm candy of Thor's alter ego, Donald Blake. ...

Jessica Biel In Thor?
Cinema Blend News — Jessica Biel In Thor? Most of the big corporate news sources have already started their 4-day, holiday weekend. We’re still here blogging away and will be all through the holiday. Not because we aren’t patriotic, but because we don’t have Rupert Murdoch lurking in the background willing to reward our unwavering loyalty by paying us to do nothing. One of the interesting things about a quiet, pre-holiday night like tonight, a night when the trades and AOL subsidiaries have already grabbed their margaritas and headed for the beach, is that strange stories start surfacing from smaller websites. With less noise to filter through it’s easier to spot odd items like this one on a place called Nuke the Fridge ...
