Odin's Sweet tooth! Verily, there is an actor change!!

People are reporting on the following news like they could identify either of these actors out of lineup. Stuart Townsend, whose most high-profile project has been his real-life fornication with Charlize Theron, has left Thor, citing that ever-present bugbear "creative differences." Townsend is also slightly famous for playing Aragorn in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings. Oh, sorry, he left that project just before shooting, too. He was replaced by Viggo Mortensen, and the film went on to be a minor success. Thor is supposed to start shooting today, which means we are close to seeing some visuals from Kenneth Branagh's flick! To reiterate, we won't be seeing any of Townsend, because he was fired...er, had "creative differences." I'd like to point out the very minor nature of this role, by the way. In fact, this part has as much to do with the success of the film as floatation devices on planes have to do with your chance of surviving a plane crash. Just saying.
