I like Star Trek: Thor. Paramount must now be negotiating with Disney for the rights.
Does Disney/Marvel actually have a trademark on Thor?! I mean, as part of Norse mythology, he should be public domain.
I'm putting too much thought into this, don't I?
In fact, there have been some cheap knock-off THOR movies simply because, yes, he's been in public domain for a millennia or so . . ...
You'd just have to be careful that you were using only stuff from the myths, not anything from the Lee/Kirby comic version. Hint: the Destroyer, Jane Foster, and the Infinity Stones are not from the original myths.
And I'm pretty sure the mythological Thor never teamed up with Iron Man ....
I'll check my copy of the Sagas and Eddas and get back to you.In fact, there have been some cheap knock-off THOR movies simply because, yes, he's been in public domain for a millennia or so . . ...

But the Stone Men of Saturn are definitely in the Eddas, right?
Much mead was consumed as the story was told around the firepits in the longhouses of Iceland.
Makes me wonder if some footage that was cut from Star Trek 2009 will be used? What if George Kirk somehow survived the crash into the Narada, was captured by the Klingons along with Nero, and is in fact alive? Retconny, I know. But I might buy that over yet another time travel story.
I like your idea. I'd be happy with it over more time travel. Leave that for The Doctor.
But, unless George has been in suspended animation for the last 30-plus years, wouldn't that put George in his sixties these days? And I'm reasonably sure that Paramount is not going to hire Chris Hemsworth and stick him in old-age makeup for the whole movie.
If you want you want a young, hunky Hemsworth teaming up with a young,hunky Chris Pine, which is what is more likely to sell tickets, you're probably talking time-travel . ....

What if they had him pal around with a wisecracking Viking in heavy armor?
Yeah. I thought that could be the case, too. Maybe he's been as troubled as Jim but hasn't adjusted as well as Jim did over the years. He not only starts down a wrong path, but stays on it. The next thing you know, for some reason he's up against his brother in this movie. That could be good, even if it smacks a bit of STV with the "bad" brother. I'd like to see him as some ethically challenged scientist, much like David.
I don't know. There's been so much discussion of Kirk's daddy issues in these new movies, up to and including BEYOND, that there seems to be a much more dramatic potential in Kirk finally meeting the legendary father he never knew than in dragging in a brother who's barely been mentioned at all for for fifty years or so.
George Kirk carries a lot of emotional weight in these new movies. He's the one Kirk keeps comparing himself to. Sam is a footnote whom most modern moviegoers have never heard off. Fans of the new movies are going to to expect Hemsworth to play the guy who died dramatically in the first movie; having Hemsworth play someone else would be a cheat and disappointment.
("Wait, they went to the trouble and expense of bringing Hemsworth back and he's not even playing the same character? WTF?")
