Zachary Levi turned down 'Thor' role
Zachary Levi has revealed that he turned down a role in Thor due to a scheduling conflict with the second season of NBC's Chuck.

The 29-year-old told USA Today that he was cast as Fandral, one of Thor's warriors, in the forthcoming Marvel comic book adaptation. However, he had to walk away from the part when NBC ordered six more episodes of Chuck in October.

Marvel Studios begins production on Thor in mid-January.

The movie, directed by Kenneth Branagh, is slated to arrive in cinemas on May 20, 2011.
