It appears that the Thor movie is going forward, as IESB reports that actor Josh Hartnett has apparently met with director Kenneth Brannagh and is currently on a short list to play the villain in the film.

The villain will be Thor’s brother Loki, who repeatedly tries to get rid of Thor and seize the throne of Asgard for himself.

This news comes in the wake of rumors that Alexander Skarsgard is being billed to play the titular Norse god of thunder.
