"Channing Tatum has revealed that his failed audition to play Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe left him with some good advice from one of his heroes. The 45-year-old actor, who now plays Gambit in the MCU, admitted that he didn't really want the part but wanted to audition in front of Kenneth Branagh, who directed the first Thor film. The audition didn't go well for the Magic Mike star, but Branagh's feedback did leave Tatum with some invaluable insight about body movement."
"After I did one take, [Branagh] was like, You're not allowed to move. Put your hands on this chair.' And I froze, he told Variety. He nailed my crutch. I spent the next five years really trying to learn stillness. Chris Hemsworth would eventually be cast as Thor, a role the Australian actor has now played in nine Marvel movies."
