The Official Thor News and Set Pics Thread

[kirbyfan]

I hope they get Thor right in his own movie, this guy is a serious bad_ _ _!

He's a God and Stan Lee said he's the most powerful character in the Marvel universe!

Also I think the name of this movie should be, The Mighty Thor!

[Ace of Knaves]

Well he's not the most powerful in the whole MU. But Earth based he is right up there.

[TheCorpulent1]

I hope that's not the design of the suit. It looks awful. It could be that he uses that costume in Asgard before the hammer is made, and then by the final act on earth when he transforms again he has the more armored copiel inspired look. If not then I'am losing interest in this movie.

But I hightly doubt that's the suit he wears in the film.
Dang, first hysterical reaction to the costume and we don't even know if it is the costume. :funny:

[kirbyfan]

The Mighty Thor isn't Earth based, he's from Asgard, he's a God and there are no limitations for a God!

[John Ryder]

I've studied this artwork for a while, and... why would Thor need gloves? He's a god! Is it to carry Mjolnir more easily? That doesn't make sense – he's a god.

[Antonello Blueberry]

I don't thinki that's the movie costume. It looks way too simple.

[Ace of Knaves]

The Mighty Thor isn't Earth based, he's from Asgard, he's a God and there are no limitations for a God!

You know what i mean... most of his adventures are Earth based.

But you put him out there in the cosmic side of Marvel, and he'll be up against foes who are more than a match for him.

[John Ryder]

I don't thinki that's the movie costume.
Neither do I. Too bad to be true.

[TheCorpulent1]

I've studied this artwork for a while, and... why would Thor need gloves? He's a god! Is it to carry Mjolnir more easily? That doesn't make sense – he's a god.
Maybe he just likes wearing gloves. :huh:

[John Ryder]

Just for looks? That's possible. Maybe it's because he doesn't wear gloves in the comics that I'm grumpy. :(

But I doubt this is the film version.

[TheCorpulent1]

It does look a bit flowy and clothlike for a movie superhero costume. But I assumed it was just artist's license, since I doubt Quesada could draw in the texture of movie costuming very well.

[John Ryder]

Yeah, besides, wasn't Thor supposed to wear chainmail on his arms and legs in the film?

[TheCorpulent1]

Not sure about the specifics, but I think a visitor to the set did mention that chainmail was a part of the costume.

[Gamma Burst]

From CBR:

Fanboyweb (via Collider) believes they have the skinny on Stan Lee's cameo. They write, "Thor's hammer ( Mjolnir ) is found lying inside a crater in the middle of the road by the U.S. Army. The army tries to move it but can't because it's too heavy. They decide to bring in a truck for assistance. The soldiers tie Thor's hammer to the back of the truck with chains. The truck driver accelerates to pull Mjolnir. The back half of the truck falls apart as the front keeps moving. Finally, the camera cuts to the driver who happens to be comic legend Stan Lee."

[John Ryder]

Read about it on JoBlo. They saw both the Thor and Loki outfits. It could be altered before the release. This will be interesting indeed.

[Vartha]

According to a few peole Thor books are flying off shelves in some areas.

Yeah, plus that picture's face looks nothing like Chris Hemsworth's. Like has been mentioned, it's probably for a comic series of figures, like Iron Man 2 has.

[Chewy]

Sam Jackson says he is NOT in Thor. He is in Captain America and The Avengers starts in February.

not unless something happens in IM2 where Tony shows up like he did in Incredible Hulk.

[Son of Coul]

Coulson's in it toward the end, no?

[Nirvana]

I'm fine with a Fury-less Thor. Kind of nice, actually, since they won't oversaturate him.

[TheCorpulent1]

Oversaturate him? He's seen all of like 5 minutes of screen time in the movies so far.

[Vartha]

Coulson's in it toward the end, no?
No idea HP, I hadn't thought to check

[ImWithTeamConan]

Don't mind Fury not being in it, because Coulson'll be there.

...I get the feeling Coulson's going to be the sacrificial lamb sooner or later.

[TheCorpulent1]

Wouldn't it be hilarious if Coulson turned out to be a shapeshifting Loki and he just gathered the Avengers together because he thought it'd be more fun than trying to kill Thor alone? :D

[ImWithTeamConan]

......that would be awesome.

[Aesop Rocks]

I'd be really mad, actually.

[Vartha]

I'd love that

[Webhead2006]

yea interesting news that fury isnt going to have a small role in thor, when we already know some shield guys are going to be in the film. I wonder whats up with that. Though for all we know things could change later in the year when production goes back for reshoots or something and maybe they could add in fury then.

[Ipodman]

Wouldn't it be hilarious if Coulson turned out to be a shapeshifting Loki and he just gathered the Avengers together because he thought it'd be more fun than trying to kill Thor alone? :D

:woot: Wow... that would be totally unexpected... maybe a subplot in Thor? hmm

[ImWithTeamConan]

Don't mind not having Fury in this one, there will be a SHIELD presence, and that's enough for me.

[Brian Braddock]

Coulson = Loki.

Awesome idea.

[Keyser Soze]

It certainly trumps my Justin Hammer = Loki idea, as it's not screwing around with an established Marvel character.

[Ace of Knaves]

That would be a cool little twist. It totally fits in with the character of Loki.

[MikeFrost]

Would be a cool twist tho it doesn't make that much sense. Why make your task a ****load harder if your goal is set and clear?

Comic book Loki is very different from it's mythological counterpart. Funny enough the Joker is a character that very close to the Loki God of the Norse Mythology.

[pyrobisson]

To come back to the drawing from Quesada, it seems that Thor will be indeed having gloves. Like in this pics below from the next "Avengers" title.

http://theheroicage.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/The-Heroic-Age-IAmAnAvenger-Thor-05.jpg

[Doctor Jones]

Damn, I really hate those gloves. They just look out of place.

[marvel_freshman]

For some reason I think mostly all of the Asgardians will have gloves, or at least the main ones.

Not that I'm saying they'll be going with these designs, but the ages of thunder Thor, fits right in.

[kedrell]

...I get the feeling Coulson's going to be the sacrificial lamb sooner or later.


yeah, I posted that idea a few times before. The Coulson-as-Loki idea is good for schock value but as MikeFrost said, it really wouldn't make much sense for Loki to attempt to make his job harder.

[TheCorpulent1]

Depends on what Loki's motivation is. Sometimes he just messes with people out of sheer boredom. Entertainment's probably scarce when you live forever and you have no friends. ;)

Actually that's JRJR :hehe:

[Ace of Knaves]

I think he knows, he is just comparing it to Joey Q's one. They both have gloves.

[kedrell]

Depends on what Loki's motivation is. Sometimes he just messes with people out of sheer boredom. Entertainment's probably scarce when you live forever and you have no friends. ;)

Well if that's the case then they'll have to make sure the audience gets it too. Maybe like:

Loki: "Ok Thor. I can't kill you and you can't kill me(since we're immortal gods) but I can make your life a living hell and give myself a hell of a lot of entertainment at the same time."

[ImWithTeamConan]

Only about...three more weeks (rumored) until we get those Thor pics.

[Aeltri]

Well if that's the case then they'll have to make sure the audience gets it too. Maybe like:

Oh that Loki :woot::

[Webhead2006]

i dont think he will have gloves we havent heard anything about gloves from the various reports and details reguarding the costume. i think its going to be more just the copoil design with out those joe q gloves added on.

[MikeFrost]

Loki: "Ok Thor. I can't kill you and you can't kill me(since we're immortal gods) but I can make your life a living hell and give myself a hell of a lot of entertainment at the same time."

"You won’t kill me out of some misguided sense of self-rightousness and I won’t kill you because you’re just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever..."

:cwink:

I'd see Loki causing mischief between humans to entertain himself, not powering up his mortal enemy God. Even so, Marvel's Loki is a more of a standard villain when compared to his Norse counterpart.

[Gamma Burst]

For some reason,I like the gloves.:word:

[Scarecrow_King]

I like the gloves too. I think they provide a balance with the boots. but I dunno whats going on around his ankles there. I also think Thor might need to get his feet examined. that looks like it would hurt to walk.

[TheCorpulent1]

As much as I love JR Jr., I can't say I really like how he draws Thor's current costume too much. But he could definitely rock Thor's classic costume, on the other hand:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/thecorpulent1/Thor/JrJrTimThor.jpg

[John Ryder]

Both ends of that hammer are a little too pointy. It looks better when it's more square like.

[TheCorpulent1]

I prefer that design, personally. It looks pretty plain when it's just a block on a stick.

[John Ryder]

The pointier it is, the more it looks like a pickaxe. Even though that's far from a pickaxe appearance, the classic hammer does more for me.

[TheCorpulent1]

Pointier is the classic appearance of the hammer, actually:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/thecorpulent1/Thor/Journey_in_to_mystery083-06.jpg

[John Ryder]

Yep. But the square design is also classic.

[TheCorpulent1]

To each his own, but that's how the hammer looks about 99% of the time in the comics, so I imagine the movie design will be fairly close to it.

[Chewy]

Jaimie Alexander's mom tweeted this earlier today
THOR is wrapping up in Santa Fe. Good Luck to Sif!!SOURCE (http://twitter.com/McGiboney/status/12548719997)

[Chewy]

So they're almost done in New Mexico and then they've got this (http://www.superherohype.com/news/thornews.php?id=9072), and I think that's a wrap as far as principal photography goes.

[John Ryder]

TheCorpulent1 (http://forums.superherohype.com/member.php?u=2162) Btw, I edited my post at the same time you posted your comment above 6 posts ago, so... in case you missed it.

[TheCorpulent1]

I saw. I meant the pointy design is in 99% of the comics.

[John Ryder]

Good. I don't know any statistics on how much the pointy design has been used, but the hammer design has been around long enough to be classic.

[TheCorpulent1]

I've pretty much only seen the block-on-a-stick design in Son of Asgard and the Ultimate line, so I wouldn't really give it "classic" status. But Marvel loves Ultimate trash for their adaptations, so we very well may see that design in the film. I hope not, though.

[John Ryder]

That block on a stick that actually resembles Mjolnir, let alone a hammer. We'll have to wait and see.

[Gamma Burst]

Let's hope they keep anything ultimate far away from this movie.

[TheCorpulent1]

None of Marvel's designs actually resemble the mythological Mjolnir, if the Norse Mjolnir pendants and symbols you see all over the place are accurate.

[lixdexia]

That block on a stick that actually resembles Mjolnir, let alone a hammer. We'll have to wait and see.
...no? it resembles a block on a stick. what hammer have you ever seen that was just a block on a stick?

[John Ryder]

The entire Thor comic has barely anything in common with norse mythology. I referred to the Marvel Mjolnir.

[TheCorpulent1]

I have no idea what you're talking about at this point. :huh:

[John Ryder]

[lixdexia]

I don't know, Mjolnir?
again, no. which particular artist's interpretation are you going with then, as you aren't going with the standard marvel version

[John Ryder]

Are you saying Mjolnir is only a block on a stick?
Nope. Corpulent1 is. It possibly resembles that, but it's a hammer.

[Vartha]

That block on a stick that actually resembles Mjolnir, let alone a hammer. We'll have to wait and see.
Not the mythical Mjolnir. There ARE some paintings that resemeble Marvel Mjolnir, but most of the Pendants dug up from Viking areas look alot like an anvil with a narrow base.
The mythic Mjolnie in most cases you'd practically be lucky to get ONE hand around the handle according to the pendants.

[John Ryder]

again, no. which particular artist's interpretation are you going with then, as you aren't going with the standard marvel version
Again, yes.

you realize of course that that picture has the exact same beveled "pointy" ends you're arguing against right?

[Anubis Raptor]

I just hope Mjolnir is designed to look cinematic and cool. I personally do not want to see a block on a stick. Also, the handle should be longer. Anyone agree?

[John Ryder]

You realise that you need glasses? That's obviously shaped more like a square.

[Vartha]

Well one of the Marvel and myth themes that MATCH is the shortness of the handle.
One of the stories in both myth and Comic have Loki disturbing the Dwarf making Mjolnir at a cruical moment making the Dwarf mess up the handle, yet Mjolnir remained Asgard's most powerful weapon.

[lixdexia]

You realise that you need glasses? That's obviously shaped more like a square. http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h56/themancalledbat/Thor-272.jpg

the sides of it are, but the ends are clearly beveled just like these, because that's what mjolnir looks like .perhaps you should see an optometrist yourself

I think the handle should be just long enough for Thor to comfortably fit both hands around. Mjolnir has a short handle because of Loki's interference during its creation. I kind of like that the most powerful weapon in Asgard is slightly imperfect.

[Gamma Burst]

Yeah,it should be something like this:

Not nearly as pointy as on the black and white picture. I already have contact lenses. Go get those glasses now. For the sake of the rest of us.

[lixdexia]

only 2 changes i'd like in that spidey-jason is that it should look more like stone (uru is a metal that's supposed to resemble stone) and i's like the "whosoever..." to be in runes or something. it'd still be there as a nod to the fans, but it'd look less corny. just my opinion

I agree with you on both accounts,lixdexia.

[Aesop Rocks]

I don't know how I'd feel about "Whoever holds this hammer..." on the side of the hammer every time you see it, it'd probably get annoying after a while seeing it in every shot.

I like the rune idea. Mjolnir is a weapon of the gods, after all, making it a sacred object. Runes on a sacred object make sense to me. :up:

[marcvader]

Who would of thunk the amount of bevel would be such a touchy subject. funny

[Aesop Rocks]

I agree that the hammer needs to be wider. Maybe a some-what longer handle too.

this made think, you figure we'll get to see the pre-flight hammer wind up or you think they'll just go with a superman up up and away?

They said they'll stay true to the comic so they'll probably show him winding up. I don't to much have a problem with it as long as they make it look cool and not corny.

I bet when the first pic comes out in the next few days, it'll shock all of us by how far fetched we were from the actual look.

[John Ryder]

But Marvel loves Ultimate trash for their adaptations, so we very well may see that design in the film. I hope not, though.
Except it has also been used in much older comics. The one from 1978, which cover I posted, is among them. That would be 99%. We'll probably see it, yes.

[Gamma Burst]

Do you think so,Anubis?

[Aesop Rocks]

This is something I want to see in Thor, to show the extremes between a God and a human. And how Thor has to deal with it.

Thor naturally being a noble good-hearted person, but just a giant ******* (which is why he's banished in the first place) is Earth bound and in a small diner with Jane. Outside you hear tires screech and a loud crash. Everyone runs outside to see a military truck flipped over and leaning off a cliff. Thor runs up to the car, thinking "I can lift this with ease and be able to save them!", but as he gets to the car and goes to lift it, the truck doesn't even budge and it eventually slips off the side of the cliff, Thor watching helpless as the driver plummets to his death.

[Anubis Raptor]

Do you think so,Anubis?

I think that we'll see that medieval future tech thor. I don't think we'll see the ultimates version. I do want something some kin to this:

http://www.comicsbulletin.com/news/images/0802/Thor07VariantCover.jpg

IMO, this is the best version of Thor.

[Vartha]

DITTO Nubis.
I have that poster on my wall. To me THAT IS Thor.

[Gamma Burst]

Yeah,I guess we'll see something very similar to this version.I love this design.

[Anubis Raptor]

DITTO Nubis.
I have that poster on my wall. To me THAT IS Thor.

Heck yeah. You can really see the density of his body in this version. He just looks so heavy, elegant, and powerful!

[Webhead2006]

i cant wait to see what type of hammer thor will be wielding in the film.

[Anubis Raptor]

Me neither^^

[UnkillableMick]

The "block on a stick" look was in Ultimates?

I thought Ultimate Mjolnir was like... part hammer, part axe?

http://www.neurosoftware.ro/programming-blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/34ab5_Ultimate_Thor_by_limabean01.jpg

[Brian Braddock]

I hear 'Block on a stick' and I think of Thunderstrike's Mace.

Anyways, in regards to the old flight-by-hammer thing discussed above, try as I might I just cant see how that can be filmed and not come off a little silly.

Trust me, I really want to, but I just cant. I'd rather just buck with convention and have Thor being able to fly. That would certainly make for interesting shots of him weilding lightning up high in the sky like you imagine a god would - shots that can be made to look like famous panels of him doing so that have graced the printed page over the years. Sure, we'd have to have a shot of Thor summoning lightning from a mountain top of something but imagine seeing him in the sky with lightning all around him.

It would look awesome.

To be honest, I really dont see him doing that all too gracefully as he's being catapulted through the sky by Mjolnir.

[Keyser Soze]

Except it has also been used in much older comics. The one from 1978, which cover I posted, is among them. That would be 99%. We'll probably see it, yes.

This is a really minor thing to be arguing about, but its an issue that can be easily resolved just by looking at actual pictures of Mjolnir from the comics:

It's an easy mistake to make. I too just assumed Thor's hammer was always flat and block-like until Corp (who I've never known to be wrong about any kind of Thor-related trivia) pointed out that the indent creating that slight "pointy" effect has been there in the vast majority of interpretations of Mjolnir. So I looked back through a bunch of images and, sure enough, he was right.

[Gamma Burst]

Well..I don't like the 'Ultimate' hammer(??) at all.

[Ace of Knaves]

I don't like anything Ultimate Thor. He looks like a cyborg not a god.

[Gamma Burst]

Indeed..With all those lights on his chest.LOL

[Whiskey Tango]

I've studied this artwork for a while, and... why would Thor need gloves? He's a god! Is it to carry Mjolnir more easily? That doesn't make sense – he's a god.

I know this quote is a couple of days old and someone else might have brought this up, but mythological Thor required a special pair of gloves (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Járngreipr) to wield Mjolnir.

Yes, I realize Marvel Thor differs greatly from mythological Thor, but the precedent is still there.

[Scarecrow_King]

weren't the mythological gloves metal, though? I'd like to see that worked in somehow to the current Marvel Thor mythos. maybe refine them into simply knuckles and wristguards on the gloves.

[kedrell]

I hear 'Block on a stick' and I think of Thunderstrike's Mace.

Anyways, in regards to the old flight-by-hammer thing discussed above, try as I might I just cant see how that can be filmed and not come off a little silly.

Trust me, I really want to, but I just cant. I'd rather just buck with convention and have Thor being able to fly. That would certainly make for interesting shots of him weilding lightning up high in the sky like you imagine a god would - shots that can be made to look like famous panels of him doing so that have graced the printed page over the years. Sure, we'd have to have a shot of Thor summoning lightning from a mountain top of something but imagine seeing him in the sky with lightning all around him.

It would look awesome.

To be honest, I really dont see him doing that all too gracefully as he's being catapulted through the sky by Mjolnir.

Easily remedied. You just only show the wind up once or twice. Be strategic about it. The rest of the time we just don't see him taking off(he's already in flight when we see him). And the time or two when we DO see the wind up willrequire CGI to makeit look right. Mjolnir needs to be spinning asfast as helicopter blades(i.e. you can barely see it anymore).

[TheCorpulent1]

The "block on a stick" look was in Ultimates?

I thought Ultimate Mjolnir was like... part hammer, part axe?

They changed Ulty Thors mjolnir.
There has NEVER been any mention in MYTH the Mjolnir had a Axe on it.
These historic pendants and Mine show it

[UnkillableMick]

He gets a new one in Ultimates 3

That explains it. I only read the first couple of issues of 3, and it was so bagabeefi I gave up.

[TheCorpulent1]

I never read any of it, I just looked at a lot of preview art. I like Joe Mad.

[Vartha]

I haven't read any of 3 myself. ONLY Ultimates I've read was the first run.

[UnkillableMick]

I never read any of it, I just looked at a lot of preview art. I like Joe Mad.

Unlike apparently EVERYONE on the Hype, I really, really enjoyed Ultimates 1 and 2.

[TheCorpulent1]

Ultimates was all right. My problem is more with the individual portrayals of characters than the story itself. I never read Ultimates 2, though, since I'd have to read those same despicable characters.

[UnkillableMick]

See, I didn't have any problem with the characters. I like my flawed heroes.

[TheCorpulent1]

I like flaws too, but the Ultimate versions of most of the characters are just jerks.

[Ace of Knaves]

There is a difference between being flawed and being a jingo prick.

[kirbyfan]

Someone said if you put Thor on the cosmic side of Marvels characters there are plenty of them that are a match for him?

Ok who?

Not Galactus, he's not a God
Not Thanos, he's not a God
Not the Silver Surfer, he's not a God

So someone tell me who in the Marvel Universe besides another God is mightier than Thor?

Gods created everything including all the other Universes, so who would be more mighty than the Gods?

Doctor Strange. He'd just banish Thor. :woot:

[Anubis Raptor]

Lol jerks. But I thought Captain America's Ultimate version was descent. I liked it.

[TheCorpulent1]

Ultimate Cap made fun of France. That's not cool. The French were pretty badass in WWII. Cap helped them out on numerous occasions. :oldrazz:

[Aesop Rocks]

Corp speaks the truth. The French Resistance supplied the U.S and British Armies with intel on the Germans. The French were bad ass in WW2 and Ultimate Cap is a ****ing idiot anyways.

[kedrell]

But he didn'tmake fun of them back in WWII but in the present day. So I liked it.

[Aesop Rocks]

Eh Ultimates in general is ****ing stupid. He was a cocky bastard back in WW2 and he is now.

That's not the Cap I like, at all.

[kedrell]

Hulk's not a mass-murdering cannibal either, but I accepted it because it was something different altogether.

Thor and the Asgardians aren't God's in the traditional sense. They are not even truly immortal. They are just extremely long lived.

And Thanos could give Thor a right seeing to. Thanos is as much a god as Thor is.

As for Ultimate Captain America? I dunno, i don't really like Cap being a jingo flag waving douche bag. Ultimate Cap represents all the wrong things about America.

[Anubis Raptor]

Ultimate Cap made fun of France. That's not cool. The French were pretty badass in WWII. Cap helped them out on numerous occasions. :oldrazz:

When I said I liked cap I was referring to his uniform. I could care less about his political views, lol.

AFTER CREDITS SCENE

ARE YOU SURE?The American Humane Association no animals were harmed blah blah blah thank you everyone who let us film on your location blah blah

*Cut to*
Remote desert (much like the scenery for Iron Man 1)
Agent Coulson is on the phone to the government heads whilst in the background a huge crater, about 20 feet wide, is being examined by a group of military agents. Could it be the leavings (Poop? :hehe:) of The Hulk?
Close up on Coulson "We can't find him anywhere"
Cut back to crater and a close up on an object,just resting on the lip of the crater...




THE HAMMER OF THOR.

Oh yes.

I'll take a picture in a movie theater. I don't care if it's not allowed. This is just too damn good to pass up.

The hype for IM2 just kicked up to a level of which I have never seen before.

The IM2 News thread is LITERALLY having a party right now.

[Gamma Burst]

If these spoilers are true,this is gonna be awesome!!!!:thor:

[Lobo]

And I thought my hype for IM2 couldn't be any higher

[Aesop Rocks]

I kind of hope they didn't forget to release those Thor concept art and set pictures. I mean, I know we've got until May 5th, but still!~ :awesome:

[Whiskey Tango]

Sounds seriously cool, I really hope that guy's not having everyone on.

[TheCorpulent1]

And I thought my hype for IM2 couldn't be any higher
For realz. I'm making my friends stay through the credits and, if that is actually the scene, I will totally geek out to the extent that I embarrass them. Guaranteed! :awesome:

[afan]

If this is factual, I can imagine with glee, the moment in Thor when, to the amazement of those trying to budge the hammer, it suddenly rises up and rockets off to join Thor!

[Ace of Knaves]

Wow that is seriously ****ing sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet! :thor:

[Carlo Comicus]

The after credits scene is not present in the copy for the press, guys.

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea looking at where it came from i'm 99% certain it is just some prick who wants attention.

[SpiderByte]

End-of-credits scene? Sadly, there was no end-of-credits scene in the screening that I saw. However, I have been assured that there is a scene, and that it ties into the Thor movie!
'Nuff said!

From **************.com

Seems to be accurate to me!

[Ace of Knaves]

Who has he been assured by though?

[TheCorpulent1]

Eh, it'll only be a week 'til we know for sure. Just wait and see.

[Vartha]

heh this week is gonna DRAG

[SpiderByte]

Since this is the single coolest idea for an after-credits sequence so far, until the release or debunking, let's assume its real anyway. Just to imagine what Mjolnir could look like on screen, and how it could play out.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm hoping Mjolnir on screen looks a lot like Mjolnir in the comics. Don't fix what ain't broke. :up:

What about a kinda mirror image of the post-credits scene from the first film? Have Justin Hammer recruited by Loki for some mysterious purpose...

[TheCorpulent1]

That could be cool. Mostly because we'd get to see Loki. :up:

[Anubis Raptor]

So let me get this straight:

In just a week, we'll get to see what Mjolnir looks like onscreen?













:hehe::awesome:

[Webhead2006]

if thats the after credit scene sounds cool cant wait to see ironman 2 myself.

That's the scene indeed. It leaked to Youtube for a while (i got it before it was removed). Anyways, it's Agent Colson driving through the New Mexico desert, he reaches a crater where there is something. He calls someone and says "Sir. We found it". That something is Mjolnir, pic below.

Hurry and watch it

[TheComicbookKid]

It is very goosebumpy.

[Webhead2006]

sucks they decided to drop going to that one beach location in favor of a different one. i guess it is to keep production under wraps more. Compared to alot of folks knew of the other location.

Sweet after credit scene. Also the hammer looks great.

[Spidey_62]

I made it one second through and I stopped myself. I have to wait 8 more days! I don't know if I can do it. :wall:

[Webhead2006]

yea for me i am a dam spoiler hound lol. But i still cant wait to see it on the big screen in better picture/sound quality.

[Spidey_62]

yea for me i am a dam spoiler hound lol. But i still cant wait to see it on the big screen in better picture/sound quality.
I'm just trying not to spoil myself crazy any more like I did for SM3. I knew everything that was going to happen in that movie going into it.:doh:

[Rock Sexton]

yea for me i am a dam spoiler hound lol. But i still cant wait to see it on the big screen in better picture/sound quality.

Well I guess now we know why which of the SHIELD members was chosen to be in Thor.

[Matt Mortem]

Thor's hammer!!! Aaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

[Webhead2006]

yup

[ImWithTeamConan]

Wow. That was awesome.

......now I wish I didn't see it.

[Rock Sexton]

That post-credit scene would seem to indicate that in the chronology of this movie-verse, Thor comes before The Incredible Hulk right? Is that what's been previously established?

[louiebling$]

OMG.... its perfect..... Poor Corp... is he don't see it now it'll be taken down by morning :(

Hurry someone save it for him

[Webhead2006]

no i think ironman 2 is set prior to TIH but i am iffy on the timeline of ironman, tih, ironman 2 myself.

[RetroNaz]

Wow, that clip makes me almost forget about IM2 and want Thor now.

Yes, I'm greedy ;)

[Rock Sexton]

no i think ironman 2 is set prior to TIH but i am iffy on the timeline of ironman, tih, ironman 2 myself.

Well I mean this is a Thor bonus scene coming at the end of IM2 .... and we know that IM2 is set before TIH. So doesn't that automatically place Thor before TIH?

[Webhead2006]

yea as i said i am just a bit confused on the timelines myself.

[Anubis Raptor]

Thor is set before TIH, I think.

[Ace of Knaves]

Oh man as if i missed it. Does anyone know where else it might be?

[Aesop Rocks]

At the end of Iron Man 2. ;)

Screen captured the crater and Mjolnir

[Aesop Rocks]

Yeah, I mean, i'm really glad the're going with the 616 hammer. :yay:

[Vartha]

ME TOO!!!
Reminds me of one of the wallpapers I did at a construction site. I took My Mjolnir Prop and put it at the center of this crater. lol

[Aesop Rocks]

I'm actually really glad that the Marvel filmverse is more based on the 616 than Ultimates. I mean hell, Sam Jackson as Nick Fury would work in either universe.

[Vartha]

I agree, I don't mind Jackson as Fury at all.
I am praying that it IS the Coipel design and no Neon discs.
This just tells ME they ARE going the JMS direction which means magic!
Can you imagine the seen when he picks up Mjolnir and that HUGE bolt of Lightning?!

[Aesop Rocks]

I heard Coipel is to the Thor movie suit as Adi Granvo was to the Iron Man movie suit.

[Vartha]

THAT WOULD ROCK
Coipel is my new Thor hero.

[Aesop Rocks]

Haha, yeah, he's great.

[Vartha]

I really wish they'd put him on a Tales of Asgard book. He could take his time and it could be a bi monthly.

[BigSams50]

I literally jizzed my pants when i saw Mjolnir in the crater. Thank you Youtube!!!

[meowth49]

Yeah hair stood up on the back on my neck, such a good teaser for Thor
