I am interested as to who will be cast in this movie. The big 3 characters are Thor, Loki, and Odin. Any suggestions for casting?

Rutger Hauer for Odin.

I'd like Bill Nighy as Odin, but Rutger Hauer is an intersting choice.
I love Brad Pitt -- he's astonishingly good as Achilles in TROY -- but his age is starting to show now, and we're looking for a young, prideful Thunder God. I say cast an unknown.
Loki? How about the guy who played Simon in Serenity? He looks the part, and has the right mix of cruelty and pathos in his face to play the troubled God of Mischief.

Interesting choice, although I havent seen the actor in anything else besides Firefly so I dont really know what kind of range he has beyond what he played on the show (which was a pretty one note character).

Adam Baldwin as Loki? I'm not so sure that would work! I chose Simon because his face is so similar to the Marvel character. Baldwin (no realtion to the brothers B) doesn't have the same sinister coldness the character seems to require. Brutish, yes; calculating and manipulative, no.

If you watch season 5 of Angel you will see a different side of Adam Baldwin - refined and verging on camp. However, I still wouldn't want him as Loki - the god of mischief should not be six foot four inches, and beefy with it.
My picks for Loki would be Jonathan Rhys Meyers or James Marsters.

If you want skinny: Sacha Baron Cohen
But if I recall the comix correctly, Loki and Thor had the same sort of height and build.
EDIT: Johnny Depp?

Well, Loki was tall but not buff like Thor. He was drawn in that Marvel superheroic style, in which a "skinny" character would still be rendered with unbelievable musculature, just not as, ya know, tremendous.
SB Cohen? Please, dear lords of casting, no!

I think Vaughn has actually been taken off the project.

 Loki doesn't look skinny to me.
 Kevin McKidd was considered for Thor
I think Baldwin would be fine:
That said, Nathan Fillion would be okay, too.

You can see that, as I said, Loki is drawn with musculature greater than the average person, but not as massive as Thor's. The first drawing up there is uncharacteristic of Loki; he's rendered too bulky, too superhuman. The other two are more in keeping with his thinner-than-the-average-superhero physique.
And Adam Baldwin simply is not right for the part. Apart from his bulky physicality, Baldwin is not erudite enough to play a Nordic prince.

Loki in Mythology
The Marvel Loki
Note: from the Marvel version:
"Height: 6 ft. 4 in.
Weight: 525 lbs
Eyes: Green
Hair: Black-grey
Strength Level: Loki possesses the normal strength of an Asgardian male of his age, height, and build. He can lift (press) about 30 tons."
I'm sure Baldwin should be able to *act* erudite.
