Not content with being Marvel’s thunder god, Thor<\/strong><\/em> star Chris Hemsworth is reported to be the first choice for Iron Man 3<\/strong><\/em> director Shane Black’s Doc Savage<\/strong><\/em> movie<\/a>, based on the the 1930s pulp adventurer.<\/p>\n

According to The Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a>, Black met up with Hemsworth recently to discuss the role, which is being considered a priority for Sony Pictures.<\/p>\n

Doc Savage, aka the Man of Bronze, is a near-genius scientist\/explorer, master of martial arts with a photographic memory and near-superhuman physical strength. Clad in a torn khaki shirt, he became the hero of radio serials, prose, magazines and 1975’s Doc Savage: The Man Of Bronze<\/strong><\/em> movie from Logan’s Run<\/strong><\/em> director Michael Anderson.<\/p>\n

He’s basically Hemsworth’s Thor meets Batman meets Indiana Jones.<\/p>\n
