Someone's Been Offered The Lead In THOR & Turned It Down!!

Merrick here...
During a recent discussion about QUANTUM OF SOLACE, IESB spoke to Daniel Craig about being on the short list of actors to play the title character in THOR.

Craig said yes they [Marvel] did approach him but he turned it down.

...says THIS PIECE at IESB, which goes on to reveal more details about Craig's decision. To the best of our knowledge, no director has been officially selected for THOR, although Kenneth Branagh is known to be attached & has evidently been reworking his schedule to accommodate this project.
