However, the 29-year-old actress has a reason for doing it - she is concerned the end of the world is coming in 2012:

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Paramount, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases,
Robert Downey, Jr., also known as Iron Man, gave news-hungry Comic-Con fans exactly what they wanted during his appearance at the convention: he announced the next Hulk.
Mark Ruffalo, primarily known for roles in the romantic comedy and dramatic film genres, will officially step into The Hulk’s sizable shoes to take on the role of self-effacing scientist Bruce Banner, the green hero’s alter ego. (Edward Norton, who played the green superhero in the 2008 film, was dropped from the upcoming Avengers movie project, leaving a huge casting hole in the Marvel movie franchise.)
Meanwhile, Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker) has been confirmed for the role of Hawkeye.
The Avengers is scheduled for release in 2012. Comic book fans won’t have to wait that long to see more live-action heroes, however: Captain America and Thor are both getting their own movies, which will release in the summer of 2011.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Casting, Upcoming Releases,
It takes a strong man to assume the title of Thor…and an even stronger man to wield that hammer. That is where Chris Hemsworth comes in.

Rene Russo Joins Cast of Thor
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Paramount, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Casting, Upcoming Releases,
Rene Russo is set to star in the comic book adaptation of Thor. The Thomas Crown Affair actress will play Frigga, the mother of the hammer-wielding Marvel superhero.
In the film, Frigga is queen of Asgard and the wife of Norse god Odin - played by Anthony Hopkins. The movie also features Chris Hemsworth as the title character, Tom Hiddleston as the villain Loki and Natalie Portman as Thor’s love interest.
Natalie, recently said that security around the movie is so tight, she struggles to read her script because it is on watermarked paper.
“I think everyone has gotten more secretive just because of the preponderance of technology that can scam just about anything,” Portman said. “It’s like you don’t get a script anymore that doesn’t have watermarks that would identify you if you ever tried to leak anything. The ‘Thor’ script is hard to read because it’s on some weird colored paper and they have your name in huge letters across every page. Marvel’s like some like crazy underground world.”
Thor is due to be released in 2011.
