I was watching the movie preview for the new Thor movie and started thinking how cool if Tom Hiddleston (Loki) would play Konrad Curze. I started thinking about other Primarchs and which actors would match up. Thoughts?

Not sure about a Primarch, but I thought Ray Stevenson's portrayal of Titus Pullo in Rome really looked like a SM.

After playing Thorin in Hobbit I could see Richard Armitage playing ANY ROLE like that

His ability to portray that "epic" leader and charisma are amazing in Hobbit I was really impressed

There was a thread a while back about a HH film(s) and who would play the Primarchs and Emperor. There was one, glorious post about Nicolas Cage. Let me see if I can locate it.

Is 'Eavy Metal Calling?





UK

I've had this conversation many times, here are a few of the results:

Russ: Hugh Jackman

Magnus: Christopher Lee

Gulliman: Daniel Craig

Fulgrim: Tom Hiddleston

Dorn: Russel Crowe

Sanguinis: Chris Hemsworth

Lion: Robert Downey Jr.

Horus: Mark Strong

Malcador: John Hurt

Alpharius: anyone.... everyone...

The Emperor: Never really got an answer here, who has the gravitas to take on a role like this?

I request Robert Downey Jr. for all of them.

Hmm, Rowboat Girlyman seems like he'd have a massive stick up his butt, speak in a monotone, and just generally seem like he doesn't care about anything going on at all. You know who else is like that? Every character Russel Crowe has ever played!

I have a peanut allergy. It's really inconsiderate.

Yeah, he's one of only about 2 actors with that god-like level of stage presence (the other being Michael Caine), but I can't see him doing the epic combat stuff. I suppose you could do it like Vader and have 2 guys, one for acting and one for voice.

Samuel L. Jackson would make a good 'body' for the Emperor. He's the only actor I've seen who can somehow pull off being a total badass while just standing around having a coffee.
