J. Michael Straczynski will appear in his beloved Thor universe on screen!
If you have been reading the recent Thor runs by Marvel then you know how amazing J. Michael Straczynski is. His solicitation on Thor made many fans rediscover their love of the character. He was definitely the reason Thor received positive reviews and awards.
According to WorstPreviews, he will have a part in the film. JMS even posted on his Facebook page on his cameo.
"I did a cameo on the new 'Thor' movie," he said. "It was supposed to be just a ten second deal, but director Kenneth Branagh decided (against the evidence) that I can act, so he kept putting me in more bits. We'll see what ends up on the cutting room floor, but it was a lot of fun."
When asked for more details, Straczynski replied: "I can't comment on the role or anything specific to the story or characters out of deference to the production. All I can say is that it was something drawn from my tenure writing the Thor comic."
Thanks to WorstPreviews for providing us with this great piece of Thor news.
Thor is undoubtedly going to win CBM champion of 2011.

Not huge or groundbreaking news, but for anyone who has read the comics, I say good for him to be allowed to participate in the movie, especially after his interpretations of Thor in the comic book universe.
