Chuck's Zachary Levi to Play Fandral in Thor 2?

Marvel is considering Zachary Levi to replace Josh Dallas as Fandral in Thor 2.

Josh Dallas played the role of Fandral, one of the Warriors Three, in the first Thor movie, but due to commitments to ABC's black hole of writing and acting Once Upon a Time, he will be unable to return for the sequel. Dallas plays Prince Charming in the hit show, the love interest for Snow White. As a replacement, Marvel is looking at Zachary Levi. Oddly enough, Levi was considered for the same role in the first movie, but could not take the job because Chuck received a last minute reprieve from cancellation.

Roles are reversed this time as Once Upon a Time has defied all logic and reason and somehow gotten itself renewed for a second season, making Dallas unavailable this time and giving Levi the chance to fulfill his original destiny.

If this story were any more incestuous, it would be a plot on HBO's Game of Thrones.

He might do OK, I'm holding out judgement until I see what he looks like with blonde hair.

So being that Once Upon A Time was the season's highest-rated drama debut among Adults 18–49 and ABC's biggest debut in five years, and the #1 non-sports program with viewers and young adults on Sunday nights, its some how "illogical" for the show to be renewed???

Because it was absolutely horrific. The acting and writing was terrible. And I say this as a fan of the show. It simply defies all logic. :lol:

Well, Stuart Townsend was originally cast as Aragorn, doesn't mean he'd have been great if Viggo Mortensen was busy.

That said, I wasn't a fan of Dallas' Fandral, so maybe Levi can do better. Yes, it's a small part, but Fandral is supposed to be "The Asgardian Errol Flynn", not "That blonde dude who laughs like a maniacal idiot the whole time"...
