An Open Letter To Kenneth Branagh and Marvel Studios

Dear Ken, Stan and everyone at Marvel Studios

As I enjoyed the ‘Iron Man’ films (or is it ‘Iron Men’ films? I’m unsure of superhero grammar), I am very excited at the prospect of the upcoming ‘Thor’ movie. So I have today been reading the film’s page on the IMDb website.

Imagine my disappointment to discover that Brian Blessed does not seem to feature in the cast list. I can only assume that this is an oversight by the webmasters at IMDb, but if this is not the case I would be grateful if someone could get on the phone to Mr Blessed and sort this out.

Look at him. JUST BLOODY LOOK AT HIM!:

Admittedly, he’s getting on a bit so I’m not entirely sure he should be as greased up as he is in this photo, but Valhalla would seem empty without the Blessed-meister stomping around having a bit of a bellow.

May I suggest a scene for the film? You could write in a scene where it’s Karaoke night in the House of the Gods and Thor sings a Pearl Jam song. At the end, Mr Blessed could say this:

“THOR’S DONE  ’ALIVE’!”

I didn’t say it was a good suggestion.

I look forward to your reply and my screenwriter’s credit.

Yours

Dave

  1. Brian Blessed in 3d….imagine….oh and with surround sound…

    you’d be in fear of everything forever…

  2. In a nutshell – or as Brian would say ‘in a codpiece’ – he didn’t need to try and climb Everest, coz he is Everest!

    Angels sleep in his beard you know!
