Casting for Kenneth Branagh's take on Thor fills out, with Jaimie Alexander and Colm Feore joining the cast. Alexander plays Sif, while "Feore's character is shrouded in mystery, though it is known to be a villain." (That spells trouble to me -- Be it stage or screen, Feore can be super-hammy.)
Whoever Feore is playing (Mephisto?), it's not Loki -- That would be Tom Hiddleston, appearing alongside "Papa Kirk" Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Natalie Portman as Jane Foster.
Meanwhile, the strange Aaron Sorkin-penned, David Fincher-directed Facebook movie, The Social Network, gets a cast in Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Timberlake, and Doctor Who alum Andrew Garfield (also soon to appear in Gilliam's Imaginarium.) "Eisenberg will play Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg; Timberlake will play Sean Parker, the Napster co-founder who became Facebook's founding president; and Andrew Garfield will play Eduardo Saverin, the Facebook co-founder who fell out with Zuckerberg over money."

Oh lord. Jaimie Alexander can't act. She really can't.
Eep.
I hope Branagh sees something no one else has been able to pull out of her.
I half-love half-hate just about everything Branagh does.
