Should we be worried about Brian Blessed?

[qpiett]

First he was apparently cast in Kenneth Branagh's THOR movie as Odin - only to be replaced by Anthony Hopkins - and now the role of Volstagg - a big rotund ally of Thor's, and a role comic nerds & geeks always cast Blessed in - has been filled by Ray "TITUS PULLO!!!!" Stevenson.

Is he even gonna be in this movie now? Was he ever gonna be in it? Did Brian Blessed fall into a ravine or consumed by mutant hawkmen hybrids?

BRIAN BLESSED WILL NOT BE KEPT DOWN!

I'M NOT YELLING. THIS IS HIS NORMAL SPEAKING VOICE!

Everytime I think of him, I remember the clip somebody posted that served as my introduction to him:


Isn't that what's his name from Whose Line?
