Daniel Craig is set to land yet another big movie with the lead role in 'Thor', a film adaptation of the famous Marvel comic of the same name.

Craig is said to be film executives' favourite to play the Norse God of Thunder, with a source reporting in the Daily Express: "Daniel is obviously hot property in Hollywood and it's felt he has all the attributes required for Thor.

"A big name is needed to front the new Thor movie franchise and they don't come much bigger than Daniel."

The source added: "Daniel is in position to pick and choose his roles and 'Thor' is going to be one of the big film events of next year.

The hammer wielding character is not the only offer on the table, as Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher also wants Craig to play him in a film about the Manchester band.

Gallagher said: "I wouldn't be averse to a film about Oasis. I would like Daniel to play me. I said to him, 'If you can swing it for me to get the James Bond theme tune, you can play me if they do an Oasis movie.'

"Who would play my brother Liam? I would have to say either Julian Clary or, in his first major role, Jeremy Kyle."
