View Full Version : How would Thor work in IM2?
As a cameo or a mention. Thor doesn't belong in IM2, he belongs in either his own movie, or an Avengers movie.
Feel free to have a different opinion, but that's mine and it's pretty strong.

How would Norse mythology fit into Iron Mans world? I can understand The Hulk, Captain america.
How in the hell are they going to fit Thor mythology into Iron Man2? John Faverau has already stated that Iron man always would feel more grounded and real.
Haha I JUST made a thread about this in the sequels forum.
Trust me, I'm having a hard time figuring it out. While a part of me is always excited at the prospect of crossovers, I just dont see this one working

I think what I just figured in the other thread might work.
Just have Stark being briefed by Fury at a S.H.I.E.L.D. command center about some of the other super humans in the world.
They obviously set up the Avengers initiative in this one, so it be weird for it not to be touched upon again up until the Avengers film, so I can see it being a review of stock news footage, or top secret footage of Hulks New York clash with Abomination, and something like that concerning Thor.
I can't help but feel if this is the case, why the hell not try to keep it a secret?
Like I said: A mention is fine. Just to link the Universe together a bit, as you said, touch upon it.
Having Thor as supporting cast, or worse: fighting in IM2? That's genre-bending a bit too early.
And it also brings up the age old question: "Hey wait, where was Hulk while all this was going on?"

Thor being a central focus in an IM movie is a mistake. These two can cross in the Avengers environment, but in IM's world, no. I am fine with a mention or something small, but being central point would be a mistake.

It's just going to be a cameo guys. Stop freaking out over nothing. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it's no more than a random appearance by a guy named Donald Blake.
You guys are acting like Thor was just annoucned to be like the second lead character in the film or something. Like he'll be stealing screentime from Tony or will have a subplot of his own or something.
Seriously, chill out.
Ok, hold on a second man. No one's thinking Thor is the #2 character in the sequel. We're just saying: given that there is the "Marvel Universe", but also considering how Favreau has steeped the film in realism, how do they plausibly fit in Thor?

I know, but it seems retarded to be hinting at a cameo so early on!
Is this just Marvel being bad at keeping a secret again?!
If it is just Fury briefing Tony, for some 3 minute scene, I'd of much rather they have attempted to conceal that as much as possible so we could possibly be treated to a surprise... Talk about your epic spoilers! :cmad:

You do realize they're making an Avengers movie, right? And that the Avengers movie will have both Iron Man and Thor in it, and will likely be directed by Favreau, right?
These characters will be meeting eventually, so I dont see the big deal in having it happen very briefly in Iron Man 2. With Favreau doing it, the tone of the Avengers film will probably be closer to Iron Man than any of the other characters. Favreau actually once said he wanted to do 3 Iron Man films, with the third being Avengers.
Favreau also said he wanted to only start this series realistically, but later have it evolve into more fantasical stuff. That's why he saved the Mandarin for the sequel.

How did they say they'd do this? It would set up Thors movie. Did they really say Thor would make a cameo? Becuase I could also see just maybe a mention of the character too. That way it doesn't take focouse away from Tony and it doesn't make any thing to weird for the movie.

If they deviate from what made Iron Man work in the first place they are idiots... and no one in this business in anywhere near that stupid... It'll be a cameo... plus it will save time having to explain how Thor ended up with the Avengers in the 1st place... I am against it but still... HOPEFULLY an after the credit scene.

Does anyone know if they are planning on using Classic Thor or Ultimate Thor?
I think Vaughn spoke about 616-Thor. Not sure though.
Some replies have me envisioning the hollywood scene of a group of schoolgirls hearing a loud noise outside, and screaming and freaking out in their underwear. Thanks for the laughs!
That some people are actually arguing that "Thor can't fit in Favreau's and Iron Man's world of reality" is incredible. In other words, you don't want an Avengers film then.
Iron Man, Hulk and Captain America are all unrealistic, but in the movie context we believe they exist, as they are all 'scientifically created', so to speak.
So there is a very VERY easy way to fit Thor in to their world;
Just like the audience, they can't believe what they're seeing and hearing either!
Done.
And I'm sure that his appearance would be no more than Fury's appearance in IM.

While I do think they can co-exist in the same movie (Avengers, hello?) I dont think IM 2 is the spot for it. Thor's the kind of guy that needs a LOT of explaining.

Dude the way Faverau did Iron Man was very plausible. You have F22 Raptors in this picture. Afganistan was one of the main focus of this picture. Faverau has put IronMan on par with the Dark Knight triology.
Thor universe is going to mess this thing up. Asgard Norse Mythology is not going to work with Faverau has started out with. Now don't get me wrong Thor can carry a movie on his own. It would probably end up like the highlander movie.
A good example of messing up a character in a movie was the Silver Surfer.
The comic book adaption to movie didn't work.

Everyone take a deep breath...it will be fine. I think all of the people that worked on IM have earned a little faith. It will no doubt be a meeting between Tony and Blake, or a simple debriefing from Fury about Thor (to which Tony rolls his eyes at).
It is to setup the Thor and Avenger Movie, a wham-bam-thank-you-mam scene.
Ideally it would be a meeting between Tony and Blake, maybe to discuss the mini transistor technology that Tony uses. And, during their discussions Blake mentions a trip to Norway.
Nothing fancy, just a simple nod to the orgins of Thor.

The producer interviewed on CNBC also said that Hulk would make an appearance in IM2... I think he is just throwing a bunch of possibilities at us... they are not going to give Thor a large role when he's got a movie out a month later. Its probably an after credit scene.

If they are going to introduce Thor within the running time by Nick Fury, that means they'd have to re-introduce Nick Fury to the general public because not everyone will have stopped to see him at the end. I mean if some Sam Jackson comes on talking about whatever then people will be like WTF who's this dude?
I think it would be good to see Iron Man working for S.H.I.E.L.D (this would cement S.H.I.E.D into the mainstream), have him do a mission for S.H.I.E.L.D. against AIM or Crimson Dynamo etc..
Then near the end have Fury mention this Thor character maybe not a direct appearance but have Fury show footage or something, i don't know.
I think we shouldn't see the new Marvel Studio films as 'Iron man' or 'The Incredible Hulk', individual films but more like Marvel Universe films. If you get me.

No, people aren't saying that at all. We all want an Avengers movie, the thing is that and an Avengers movie will likely have a different tone going on than an Iron Man movie, regardless of the same creators/actors.
Here's an example. Batman: The Animated Series, and Justice League Unlimited. Now, certain characters (i.e. Zatanna) could both be in BTAS and JLU. But, other characters (i.e. Wonder Woman, Superman, and Green Lantern) would be harder to translate and maintain the same feeling and level of believability presented within the series. Both series by the same people, with the same actors, both have different tones and levels of realism. How hard is that to understand?
It's funny now because more people on this Thread are freaking out telling people to remain calm. And its pretty understandable that someone would freak out when all they say about a movie is that it will be used to introduce another character from their own separate comic book.
Also, I'm sure that if they were to do it, it wouldn't detract from the plot and would fit into Iron Man's established universe as cohesively has possible. So now I propose that everyone stop freaking out at the people who were originally freaking out because they were unsure of the future of their new favorite movie franchise.
It's really simple to me.
In the same way we had life before the atom was split, where it was preposterous to think the atom could be split by man. Then we did it and we changed our mindsets to accept that we could split the atom.
In the IM movie they (and the audience living the experience) have life before they could even imagine magic/Thor exists. Then Thor appears and they change their mindset to accept (or not, they could always disbelieve his claims) that he exists.
Like, "oh, that could never happen (BOOM), oh hell, look it happened".
Done.
And my idea/hope of how they bring Thor into the IM2 movie does not involve ANY interaction between the two.
Sorry about the long-windedness, I'm battling to put my thoughts into words...
I loved iron man and was really proud that not only that it did so well but that they finally got it right unfortunatly that was tainted on monday when marvel released their new plans for the films and I'm sorry but the plans are just god awful.
Thor in IM 2 is a bad idea and so is the cap movie..."The First Avenger" ?!? wtf?!?

Post-credits extra scene.
Not too hard to figure out. It doesn't necessarily have to match the tone of IM, since it's just one little teaser scene.
Think of it as a teaser trailer added to the end of IM2. Thor's movie is only a couple of months behind IM2, so this is a cool set-up. Cap can then be mentioned at the end of Thor's movie. Let one movie promote the next.
There's nothing wrong with this at all. Finally, we'll be able to get a shared-universe in comic book films, and people are complaining?
Regarding Cap being the first Avenger....technically he might be. If in the movie universe, SHIELD (ie US govt) is responsible for forming the Avengers and Cap was created by the US govt 60+ years ago, then Cap could technically be called the first Avenger.

Not that Marvel doesn't know what they are doing... but that 2011 slate looks awful... Captain America to set up Avengers??? No one is going to see Captain America overseas... its a bad move IMO. And this Thor crossover better be after the credit but there is no way they will botch something like that up as long as Favreau is running the show. To me this Captain AMerica movie is just icing on the cake in that I can only hope its a stand alone film by itself that doesn't directly lead into his Avengers... I mean everyone can assume Cap was trapped in ice sometime in the 1940's but they don't necessarily have to see that on film to understand what is going on in Avengers (just requires a simple explanation). I still think there is a good chance they push Avengers back a year. Another Hulk sequel would probably be better.

I agree with the "mention only" part but I don't see what the Hulk has to do with anything... :huh:
When you have a lot of heroes in the same universe and something big happens, you have to come up with reasons why the other heroes don't help. Why didn't the Fantastic Four help Spider-Man when Sandman and Venom were holding MJ hostage in SM3? They live in the same city, it was all over the news.
I just used the Hulk as an example of someone who could be helpful in many situations and probably needs an explanation for his absence, such as being on the run in South America. There's a reason why heroes and most hero stories function in a vacuum, in an absence of other heroes, and doing more than a mention creates a oft-commented on problem.
Does that make sense?

the ultimate costume could be something he uses to blend in with modern society without drawing too much attention. Then for whatever reason has to return to asgard to briefly inform odin of something that has occured on midgard, and we see him in classic thor robes before odin, but when he returns to earth he is back in ultimate gear, I like ultimate thor, but I never really liked the cult leader aspect of the character.
Maybe even have him approach tony and warn him of his enjoyment of the bottle that he has seen the road it will lead down, and tries to warn him and stop him from hitting his low point. Stark would shrug him off as a harmless beggar.

This seems pretty simple to me and it'd actually be easy to tie them all together before the Avengers movie.
After the end credits of Iron Man 2, Iron man meets Thor somehow(the hows and whys can be worked out later) or another and it ends.
Thor's movie begins and ends up at the same place Iron Man 2 ended, i.e., Thor deals with whatever he deals with during his movie and after his closing credits, we get the SAME post credits scene from IM2, only this time it's from THOR'S perspective instead of Stark's and it ends.
Captain America, SAME THING, only from Cap's perspective. I will say that during IM2 and Thor's version, Cap might have to be in the shadows or difficult to make out if they haven't cast Captain America yet.
The Avengers film will open with this scene being fully realized and much longer. As for what Avengers should be about? I think the main crux of the film's action would be Avengers vs. Hulk as that would be the main reason they are assembled. Subplots would include Captain America adjusting to our time as well as Iron man butting heads with Cap about an number of issues including leadership. Also, i'd throw in at least 2 more Avengers there. Possibly 3. I'd use Hank Pym, Wasp, and Hawkeye :)

Adding Thor into the mix would just feel silly. I wouldn't mind a more realitic hero being introduced (like Captain America) but keep Thor the f**k out.

I kinda don't wanna see this happen. I don't want every new Marvel movie to have Fury after the credits saying basically the same thing. It was awesome for Iron Man, and I think it was a way to test the waters, but eventually everyone will know who Nick Fury is and what Marvel is planning. The Iron Man DVD will make sure of that. So have some new "Avengers" scenes be a little more involved in the future movies, especially Iron Man 2.
There's pretty much only one conceviable way to introduce Thor in Iron Man 2 that I've heard so far.
1) First, have Tony stumble further down into his alcoholism, and during this time he meets a man claiming to be the Norse God of Thunder, either in a bar, or in an AA meeting. Have it be funny, but with a side of serious, so the audience knows to look out for this guy. Also, by that time, there will probably be news on the Thor movie, so most audiences would know who the guy is. He's the banished God on Earth and he's drinking lots of mead.
2) Second, in Thor's own movie, show how Thor got banished to Earth towards the end, or the third act. And the rest of the movie should be in Asgard.

As a cameo or a mention. Thor doesn't belong in IM2, he belongs in either his own movie, or an Avengers movie.

SHEILD comes in and says "Tony we found something. We need you to have look at it" and leads him into a room with a bunch of scanners working on the hammer. "What's making it work?" they ask. He looks it and says "Guys this isn't a machine. You need a magician for this" and shakes his head. But then, "NAY, a GOD!" and goldilocks busts in the room, a hurricane, and then all the equipment is trashed and the hammer is gone. Fury and Tony pick themselves out of the wreckage and Tony just looks at Fury and says "How much you think we'll have to pay him?"
I think Tony should have a inferiorty complex to Thor. Tony was THE superhero, ladies man, celebrity, big shot, suddently he's standing next to a real life god with bulging muscles and golden hair. A world of magic that undermines his prowess with machines, he's slighly dubious but in the ned he can;t help but respect Thors firepower. so Tony's gonna be slightly pissed off but still intoxicated by this mad new world he's suddenly landed in. The attitude will be "So he's a god, so what? I'm still Tony Stark. Bottoms up let this roll".

I was just thinking the same thing. Everyone thinks he's loony but then boom, he's a god.
during the final battle iron man is overwhelmed by a large group of enemies and is knocked a fair distance away with his face, left arm and upper torso exposed, nick fury reports to stark that back up will arrive.
iron man stans up and begins last ditch attempt to win the fight with whats left of his armor
(a chopper is heard overhead)
just as the first wave apporaches stark, hummers arrives with the letters S.H.I.E.L.D. armed personel and a hooded man carrying arrows in his mouth steps out.
hooded man quickly eliminates the first wave with rapid shots fired from a bow and reloaded with the arrows carried in his mouth.
hooded figure nods at stark
stark still running to gain momentum for the final blow
the second wave of enemies appear and are hellbent on destorying whats left of iron man.
(cue lightning bolt)
appearing from a small crater in the ground a mysterious man wielding a war hammer appears, with a single swing he sends the second wave flying in a brutal fashion.
stark while still running turns his head to get a look at the man.
man does not acknoledge starks presence and instead erociously focusing on the 1 minion left from the second wave, minion runs away.
stark finally reaches the baddie and delivers a fatal blow using whats left of his iron fist.
end of battle
stark looks around the battlefield in an attempt to look for the hooded bowman and the mysterious man with the hammer, they are no where to be found and stark believes himself to have halluncinated from a headwound sustained earlier in the battle.
(conclusion, blah...blah...blah...)
end of credits
after recieving a notice for a meeting, stark heads into a dark futuristic command center.
on the metallic door S.H.I.E.L.D. is embossed.
a single light is focused on a desk, seated is nick fury accompanied by the two mystery men.
"times up, whats your answer?" says nick
*brief pause*
"im in"
lights turn on revealing a large group* still blanketed in darkness behind fury and the two men.
*noticable features such as hulks form and ant mans helmet outline are visible
well...thats how i think it should happen. they could just go the cheaper route and do the whole.
man appears in stark office and forcably says, i heard your company in possasion (sp?) of something that belongs to me.
with a smartass reply stark says "like what"
"my Mjolnir" (or simply "Mjolnir")
stark looks at him in awe

the ultimate costume could be something he uses to blend in with modern society without drawing too much attention. Then for whatever reason has to return to asgard to briefly inform odin of something that has occured on midgard, and we see him in classic thor robes before odin, but when he returns to earth he is back in ultimate gear, I like ultimate thor, but I never really liked the cult leader aspect of the character.
Maybe even have him approach tony and warn him of his enjoyment of the bottle that he has seen the road it will lead down, and tries to warn him and stop him from hitting his low point. Stark would shrug him off as a harmless beggar.
Don't know why but that sounds like a great idea. Have him walk by Stark as a regular looking person and he tells him about his drinking problems and the path it will lead him toward and Tony just shrugs him off as some lunatic babbling on. And than I guess towards the end of Iron Man 2 Nick Fury can brief Stark on the heroes he wants for the Avenger Initiative and Stark realizes that the man that tried to help him was the Thunder God himself, Thor.
But hey, that's just my fantasy. :woot:

I remember the one time they did a live action Thor on TV (*see utube Hulk*) and it was just horrible. The mighty Thor was reduced to a mead searching duncan along with a mousey looking couterpart, "Don Blake". Even his mighty hammer, Mjolnir, was passed around like a paperweight. Anyway, I'm sure nothing shall ever be that bad again. However, Thor must be handled with a bigger than life approach and treated, like he's always been in the comics, "a demi-god".
Otherwise, it'll just be yet another dissapointment.

The perfect way IMO should go like this:
Somewhere in the movie mention Abomination has escaped & have Hulk no where to be found / IM &/or WM too busy with Mandarin (or whoever the villain will be). Then at the end have Stark say to Fury "Now what about Abomination?", then Fury says "We got that covered". Stark says "By who?". Fury shows Stark some footage of Thor kicking Abomination's azz & says "Check out this guy!"

Oh.... stop... I don't think they can do full blown Thor... they HAVE to introduce the character as Blake when they make the Earth transition. I think Blake will make his way back into the Thor script since Favs said it's unlikely Thor will be cameoing in IM2... obviously Favs may walk and Marvel might revisit the idea again... but I just think you need Blake to make that seemless transition.

Early in IM 2, show Stark actually hanging out at the SHIELD headquarters in a scene or two and give mention to a strange energy surge... somewhere... that SHIELD has detected. They are monitoring it and trying to figure out its nature and origin... No more mention for a while.
After all the action for the core storyline of the film plays out (hopefully IM v. Mandarin), then the movie closes with mention of the energy surge again, and IM goes to investigate. While at the site and taking some readings... a strange figure appears on a nearby hilltop, with long golden hair, a cape, and a huge hammer. He says "What is your purpose?" The credits roll...

You guys are acting like Thor was just annoucned to be like the second lead character in the film or something. Like he'll be stealing screentime from Tony or will have a subplot of his own or something.
Seriously, chill out.

Why does Thor need to be in it at all?
He's one of the most contrived members of the Avengers. In order to properly introduce him to the Marvel U, he's going to need a feature length film. It's a confusing story that requires even more leaps of faith than Iron Man, or the Hulk. Probably more than the two combined.

Don't bother reading this if you don't want details on the Thor movie:
Protosevich's screenplay ends with Thor in the Viking era. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to have him in Iron Man 2 given his longevity as a god, but it would be awkward considering what they want to do in the Thor movie.
I don't think it'd be necessary to force him in, either. TIH needed the extra boost of a cameo. If they go ahead with this script, Thor could be equal to or rivaling Tony in popularity.

I like this.
To expand on this... It could be that Thor was banished to Earth in the middle / dark ages, with no powers (except his age immortality). He learned to adapt to life as a human (learning what it is like to struggle and sacrifice, love and hate... etc). Since he does not age, there can be a montage of scenes showing him in various roles in early European society, forced to leave when people begin to catch on to his agelessness (like the Highlander). He is a Blacksmith, but people in the village eventually notice after some years that they are gray-haired, but he is not... he leaves...
Then he is a farmer in another village, his friends begin to see that he doesn't look a day older since they met him a few years back... he leaves... and so on. He prays to Odin to free him from this prison of lonliness... He is forced to see all that he holds dear in this world, grow old, and he has no where to belong.
Then in Modern times, a vengeful Loki finally discovers where Odin banished Thor to. He makes a deal with the Enchantress to help him get to Midgard, and use magic to conceal his plot from Odin. He goes to Midgard to find and destroy Thor (strange energy surge one). Odin is too good for the Enchantress and sends a subliminal message driving Thor to Mjolinir (hidden in a cave), which triggers his transformation (strange energy surge two). He battles Loki and of course, wins (learning that he wants to stay on Earth and protect those with whom he has lived amongst for centuries)... Suddenly, an armored figure lands not far away, and is looking around with his hand extended... Thor looks over a hilltop and sees the armored figure, and he asks... 'What is your purpose?' credits roll.

True. True. It must be handled almost hyper seriously. With a fantastic sense of drama. With worlds at stake and the cosmos in the balance. Thor was from the ultra dramatic, take yourself seriously even in the most absurd situations, school of behaving/acting that people poke fun of when they reference William Shatner. At it's most basic and pure, and done well - it works gloriously.

Q&A: Kevin Feige
The mild-mannered exec now controls the Marvel movie universe
By Borys Kit
July 21, 2009, 03:54 PM ET
THR: You cast a relative unknown as the lead in "Thor." Will that be the Marvel casting strategy?
Feige: I think the Marvel way is casting the best actor for the part. It can be somebody relatively new, but it can also be someone like Robert Downey Jr., who you wouldn't necessarily call an unknown. Chris Hemsworth came by the ("Iron Man 2") set a few weeks ago. There was nobody around, but it was the historic meeting of Thor and Tony Stark. Within a few minutes, the crew was whispering, "There's Thor." Some of them had worked on "Star Trek," so they knew who he was, but you could feel the buzz. He was wearing a T-shirt, but he was an imposing presence on the set.Source:http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/features/interviews_profiles/e3i7e8e71284fdd6591da720feac29cc058

THR: Marvel has developed a reputation for being a tough negotiator on acting deals.
Feige: I hope with our track record that people can see us as a place that makes product that a lot of people will see. And that at the same time there's a comfort factor that we will not hang them out to dry. There's a sense of trust there. A trust with the filmmakers we work with, like Jon Favreau, Ken Branagh and Joe Johnston. We bring a sense of quality where they are not going to be just playing two-dimensional characters. Natalie Portman is very much trusting us and Ken Branagh to showcase what a great actress she is, the same actress that we see in her smaller films. We're trying something that's never been done before, a new idea of the same character appearing in multiple franchises. And the economic conditions of Hollywood are very different now than they've ever been before
I love that response from Feige. That is exactly why I love Marvel Studios so much. They are trying something totally different, but they are doing it with pure class.

Sounds like Ultimate Avengers 1 (or 2) When Fury and Steve go to a Whaling protest to see Thor there. Fury almost says that exact same thing.

I was just about to post that in the Ultimate Universe, which this marvel world is mostly based on, Thor starts out as a peace activist. Not a far stretch to see him protesting/demonstrating outside of a Stark Weapons facility, chemical plant, R&D Lab that tests on animals...or the hundred other things that Stark Industries is probably doing that he would be protesting.

Great find, retroman!!!
Thanks.
THR: Marvel has developed a reputation for being a tough negotiator on acting deals.
Feige: I hope with our track record that people can see us as a place that makes product that a lot of people will see. And that at the same time there's a comfort factor that we will not hang them out to dry. There's a sense of trust there. A trust with the filmmakers we work with, like Jon Favreau, Ken Branagh and Joe Johnston. We bring a sense of quality where they are not going to be just playing two-dimensional characters. Natalie Portman is very much trusting us and Ken Branagh to showcase what a great actress she is, the same actress that we see in her smaller films. We're trying something that's never been done before, a new idea of the same character appearing in multiple franchises. And the economic conditions of Hollywood are very different now than they've ever been before
I love that response from Feige. That is exactly why I love Marvel Studios so much. They are trying something totally different, but they are doing it with pure class.
Yes he's making all the right noises but i have to disagree with him saying that the idea of one character appearing in multiple franchises is something new.:huh:

Agreed, but it's never been done on the scale that Marvel are going to do it. Their ideas of character 'cross-pollenation' are ambitious, and certainly exciting.

I don't know about how their doing he whole Thor coming to earth thing in his movie, but, in terms of a reference in this one....
what about something to do with his hammer falling to earth?
like the impact shows up on a seismic radar...
or how about a scene where the hammer falling to earth, almost hits Tony as he's fling, and he's like "WTF was that" lol

Chris Hemsworth was on Iron Man 2 set. Probably just visiting but still Thor met Iron Man.
