James Bond star Daniel Craig has turned down the chance to portray Marvel superhero Thor on the big screen, believing that it would give him too much of an ego.
Craig was producer Louis D'Esposito's top choice to play the Norse "God of Thunder" in director Kenneth Branagh's film adaptation of the famous Marvel comic book character.
But Craig snubbed the offer, claiming it would be "too much of a power-trip" to play both 007 and Thor.
History:
Following Thor's debut in the science fiction/fantasy anthology title Journey into Mystery, the 13-page feature "The Mighty Thor" continued to be plotted by Lee but scripted by Lee's brother Larry Lieber or Robert Bernstein (working under the pseudonym "R. Berns"). Penciling was by either Jack Kirby, Joe Sinnott, Don Heck, or, for a single issue, Al Hartley. Then with Journey into Mystery #101 (Feb. 1964), the series began a long and definitive run by Lee and Kirby that lasted until the by-then-retitled The Mighty Thor #179 (Aug. 1970).
