It's because that's how movies work and they are actors.
Hugh Jackman is Australian and he played the X-Men character of Wolverine, who is Canadian in the comics.
Also, they are fictional comic book superheroes, it's really not that big of a deal.

Shouldn't Thor be played by a Scandinavian actor?

In theory, yes.

You need the best actors in the WORLD (not just U.S. only) to portray the right characters properly and professionally. It's not really a British thing. There's a lot of different accents you hear.
