The Official Thor News and Set Pics Thread

[ImWithTeamConan]

Geez they got done early.

[CanaryFan]

Geez they got done early.

No they didn't. Editing and adding special effects takes quit a bit of time. They're right about on schedule.

[Weadazoid]

No they didn't. Editing and adding special effects takes quit a bit of time. They're right about on schedule.

Also gives them time to reshoot if they have too.

I agree they are paced perfectly.

Captain America is behind IMO, they should have started principal Shooting last month.

[TheCorpulent1]

I keep forgetting Captain America comes out just a couple months after Thor. I've heard virtually nothing about it besides Evans' casting. I hope they don't wind up rushing it too much.

[weezerspider]

Cap comes out two months after Thor. Thor has wrapped up shooting and Cap just now booked where they will shoot... I'd say Cap is behind. Its not as bad as it seems( TDK had a similar release time as Cap and I believe they wrapped up around November of 07 for a July 08 release? correct if Im wrong), but Cap is defiantly in danger of being rushed, I'd rather them delay it to December and it be great, then them rush it and get it out in July. Plus, since they aren't releasing it July 4th, I don't see any reason to keep it in July.

It's been booked for a while now, actually.

Well, Hugo Weaving's been confirmed as Red Skull, and Arnim Zola, Bucky, and Peggy Carter are also cast.

[Doctor Jones]

They have the budget and are shooting in London for most of the filming. It's good they have this much prep time. It means everyone will know what to do when filming begins and there will be more confidence.

Should We Now Call Him 'Captain England'?

by Mike Ryan · May 19, 2010 http://l.yimg.com/a/i/mo/200x266_captainamerica_051910.jpg (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810026349/info)
Based on this news, it would only seem appropriate that Steve Rogers be demoted to at least Lieutenant America.
First, budget constraints forced producers to move "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809791042/info)" production from its titular tropical location to the tax-friendlier confines of Hawaii and London. Now, the same money concerns have sent "Captain America (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810026349/info)" overseas: the movie about the most patriotic of comic-book heroes will, ironically, not be filmed in America.
The loss of production business from "Captain America: The First Avenger" is another blow to the city of Los Angeles, which has seen its share of big-budget films flee to escape the heavy tax burden its state levees on films. California offers tax credits to smaller films but, considering "Captain America's" budget is $140 million, it didn't qualify for a break. London offers tax credits up to 25 percent. When faced with the current economic climate, it's hard to argue with those numbers -patriotic or not.
Sure, some of the "Captain America" adaptation is literally set in London; for those scenes, that location makes perfect sense. But it also makes perfect sense for Captain America, once he's done fighting Nazis, to also show a little patriotism and film seems in his home country. But, as any American knows - including its Captain - money talks.

Also ironic: California's taxes have been a boon to the British Columbian city of Vancouver, which in recent years has seen a boom of what would've otherwise been big Hollywood business (films such as the "Twilight Saga (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810074301/info)" have found a production home north of the border). But there is an added sense of loss - not counting the hundreds of Hollywood jobs that will disappear - because it is, you know, Captain America. This was a character that was created a full year before Pearl Harbor was even bombed by Japan. Cover art of early Captain America books showed the hero punching Adolph Hitler in the jaw as a way of showing America's support for its European allies.
Big budget movies being filmed overseas to avoid costs isn't an entirely new phenomenon. George Lucas (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/contributor/1800017101) filmed all three "Star Wars (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1800121659/info)" prequels in Australia to avoid union costs (Lucas has been a stong opponent to unions after a disagreement between him and the directors' guild over the title sequence of original "Star Wars" not listing the cast). Of the six films, only "Return of the Jedi (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1800111258/info)" featured live-action scenes filmed in the United States.
Considering the recent rash of films switching from locations that actually includes the location in the film's title, it won't be too long before it's discovered that "Sleepless in Seattle (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1800191133/info)" was actually filmed in Albuquerque.
"Captain America: The First Avenger," starring Chris Evans as the title character, is slated for a Summer 2011 release.

[Webhead2006]

actually cap will be just fine, its not likely to be as special effects heavy/domiment like thor is. So thor started shooting early to use the time needed for post. Where as cap is just fine shooting june-oct, and that still gives it plently of time.

[Vartha]

Well I don't recall where I read it but one of the reason's they're filming Cap all in England was to save cash.
Instead of having two Shooting Teams, they'll have one, and it was cheaper to film in England over California.

[Droogoonie789]

Okay, so it's really not much, but I figured I'd at least post it so hopefully another board member with keener eyes can point something out in the background.

This is a link to a picture of Jamie Alexander with her stunt double, from the stunt doubles website, hangin in the dressing room of "Thor".

Jamie Alexander looks kind of old and nothing special. Her stunt double looks younger and cuter and should be the star instead.

[Aesop Rocks]

You're...wow. You're kidding, right?

[TheCorpulent1]

Just to clarify, everyone knows Jaimie is the one on the right, correct?

[Ahura Mazda]

I am thinking Night Raven thought she was on the left. Otherwise I don't quite get his statement.

[Brian Braddock]

Night Raven was cleary joking guys (at least I hope so)

[Chewy]

Ira Rubenstein from Marvel talks about the Thor game for a bit a little bit after the 30 minute mark in this video (http://thisweekin.com/thisweekin-ipad/twiipad-6-with-ira-rubenstein/).

It's being developed by Liquid Entertainment

[ImWithTeamConan]

It's okay Night Raven, I laughed.

[Webhead2006]

yea another photo of jaime and her stunt double who she been working with since kyle xy i believe poped up a few months ago in the sif thread.

[Aesop Rocks]

Jaimie is going to be a great Sif, IMO.

[Vartha]

I agree AR! I cannot WAIT to see what she looks like as Sif too!

[Dark Raven]

yea another photo of jaime and her stunt double who she been working with since kyle xy i believe poped up a few months ago in the sif thread.

Can you post it here as I don't want to have to sif through that thread. :oldrazz:

[Vartha]

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c331/Vartha1/Thor/movie%20images/kyliefurneaux-thor1.jpgJamie on THIS side

[ImWithTeamConan]

I think it's cool she's great friends with her stunt double. Take care of the people that take care of you.

[Dark Raven]

Night Raven was cleary joking guys (at least I hope so)

And yes, I was joking, because the first person you see when you open that photo is the stunt double, with Jaime off to the side.

[Webhead2006]

night i dont have the link myself, would have to search through the sif thread and i really dont want to it. you could probably try googling jaime and her stunt double name and i am sure you will find a bunch of photos of them.

[echostation]

I thought Jaime Alexander is doing all the stunts herself... why a stunt double? so stupid

[Parker Wayne]

What are you talking about? Its not stupid at all. Many actors use stunt doubles. A stunt double is more athletic meaning for better stunts. Also, a studio doesn't want to take any chances losing a prize possession to an injury and having to delay production.

God, I hate when people say using a stunt double is stupid.

[MikeFrost]

The irony here is that her stunt double is older than she.

I'm not bad mouthing here, just find it funny. Stunt doubles are very important. It's because of these guys that our movies don't get delayed for months because one main actor got injured on the set.

[Gamma Burst]

I thought Jaime Alexander is doing all the stunts herself... why a stunt double? so stupid

There's nothing stupid about it.

[Vartha]

I thought Jaime Alexander is doing all the stunts herself... why a stunt double? so stupid
SOME stunts I'm sure Jamie couldn't do. there's just so much an actor/actress can do.

[Brian Braddock]

That's what's so funny whenever you hear a soundbite about an actor or actress doing their own stunts.

Sure, they may do some of the more rudimentary 'diving and rolling onto an [off-screen] crashmat' or something, but do people really believe that the insurance companies would have the stars of the production performing the bigger and more dangerous stunts in situations that can result in injury or even death?

Of course Jamie, and most everyone else, would have a stunt double.

[The_Mighty_Thor]

The irony here is that her stunt double is older than she.
.

Being a stunt double has nothing to do with age, it has to do with knowing how to do the stunts and take the falls. Nobody would become a stuntperson and go threw all the training a risk all the injuries if it was only a 3 or 4 year career!

Indeed. Didn't Daniel Radcliffe's double become paralyzed while filming Harry Potter 7?

And one of the technicians of TDK died during a stunt.

I don't think it would be good if the main leads got horribly injured or killed.

[Captainhulk]

The picture you posted is considered bootlegged, since it wasn't released by the studio and the studio has been going around filing requests to have it taken down. Please don't post it on SHH again.

[CanaryFan]

Awww, what I miss?

[Webhead2006]

yea not all actors do their own stunts, some do, and other times they either dont want to do stunts, or its for safety reasons for the actor that a stunt person does them. And jaime has been working with hers since her kyle xy days.

[Vartha]

Awww, what I miss?
Have no idea Canary, I'd like to know as well

[ddddeeee]

It was The Destroyer pic again.

[Bren]

The irony here is that her stunt double is older than she.

My motorcycle friends and I joke that bikers generally age quicker (physically) than car drivers because of the heightened thrill (and stress) being in more 'danger' brings.

Maybe the same applies here for stunt doubles, and her stunt double is actually the same age as her :wow:!

I jest.

[Vartha]

AH ok Thanks De! I didn't see anything new online lol

heh Sun worshipers get aged looks too.

[Bren]

So she's a 21 year old stunt double who races superbikes during her off hours and tans in the nude when it's too hot for leathers......

Darn, I think I'm going a little overboard here.

[SpiderByte]

I thought Jaime Alexander is doing all the stunts herself... why a stunt double? so stupid


Because almost every actor uses a stunt double?

[Antonello Blueberry]

No matter what actors say to the press, production and insurance companies ususally don't let them perform the dangerous stunts.

[Brian Braddock]

Bingo, AB.

[jmc]

yea not all actors do their own stunts, some do, and other times they either dont want to do stunts, or its for safety reasons for the actor that a stunt person does them. And jaime has been working with hers since her kyle xy days.

I wonder if it's odd to work with the same stunt person for years.

[TheCorpulent1]

No matter what actors say to the press, production and insurance companies ususally don't let them perform the dangerous stunts.
For real. I remember an episode of Mythbusters where they wouldn't let Adam do a stunt, and he's nowhere near as valuable to his insurance company as a big-budget movie star would be.

[MultiPurposePon]

Hey all, just stopping by to let you know I interviewed Jaimie Alexander's stunt double, Kylie, last night about her work on Thor, X-Men, Blade, Elektra, Supernatural, Smallville, etc.

I already have about a dozen fan submitted questions for her, if any of you guys/gals have relevant stuff to ask email it to me (cbmmultipurposeponi@gmail.com) before tonight so I can forward them on.

[Webhead2006]

jmc i dont see why it would be odd to work with the same folks for a few yrs. it would probably help each other out better. you know each knows how the other moves and all that. So they can make sure everything is dead on.

[Droogoonie789]

It has been confirmed that Thor will have his helmet, right?

Because the pic didn't have the helmet. If they don't have it, that's gonna suck. :/

[Vartha]

YES it was Droogoonie. A couple times for that matter.
We're STILL waiting for a full costume shot of Thor.

[Weadazoid]

I'd take some CGI stills of Asguardian Buildings or landscapes.... seriously all we have is one pic.

[Aesop Rocks]

Comic-Con.

[TheCorpulent1]

... is in July. :csad:

[SpiderByte]

Almost exactly two months from today, if my math is correct.

Only 8 weeks left, guys. We've waited, what, 8 YEARS for this film. We can wait a few weeks.

Just keep thinking "It's finally happening."

[TheCorpulent1]

Or, conversely, we've waited 8 years for this film, so Marvel should hurry up and give us some gratification already! :argh:

[Aesop Rocks]

I think they should try a new daring style of promotion.

Show everyone but Corpulent1. :o

[TheCorpulent1]

What's that? Aesop actually wants a temporary ban? You don't say! :awesome:

[SpiderByte]

If their releasing clips, then we are basically guaranteed a trailer at ComiCon. Like, a 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999998% chance.

We won't get footage of Cap, though, because by ComiCon, it would only be filming for about a month. We'll get something, concept art or something, and maybe (a big maybe) some more plot details for Avengers.

[Aesop Rocks]

We'll hopefully get something visual from the Cap panel. If we don't, Cap could very well bomb.

[TheCorpulent1]

A poster of the shield would be cool. But I think posters come after filming, don't they?

Ooh, you know what would be super-cool? If they did like a mock "discovery" of Cap's mask or shield or something, uncovered after over 60 years.

[SpiderByte]

We'll hopefully get something visual from the Cap panel. If we don't, Cap could very well bomb.


I highly doubt it will bomb just because they don't release images while in the first month of filming. I mean, they start filming at the very end of June. They aren't going to be releasing concept art 3 weeks later.

By that logic, we should have gotten tons of concept art for Thor, and all we have are 3 pictures, the first of which was basically nothing, the second when they were finishing up filming, and an official release.

It's unlikely we'll be getting visual stuff. Plot details and cast, maybe, but not images. I realize it's unrealistic to get any images about Cap for ComiCon this year. It's WAY too early.

[Aesop Rocks]

Comic-Con is the make-or-break for comic cook movies

[TheCorpulent1]

There'll be other comic conventions between now and Captain America's release date. They might save something for WonderCon or one of the other big ones. SDCC is the biggest, but it's not like they absolutely have to put something up for that or they've doomed the movie to failure.

[SpiderByte]

Comic-Con is the make-or-break for comic cook movies


Not really. The release date is make-or-break. Not showing up at ComiCon will not make it automatically suck.

It's a month into filming. I don't even think they'll have gotten the entire cast, let alone any teasers.

[Chewy]

I am 99.9% sure we will get an image of Cap at comic-con.

[Aesop Rocks]

I'm 100% sure Chewy is 99.9% sure. :p

I really don't know how they'll do a Cap panel. I mean, the movie will be a month into shooting halfway across the world, so how they're going to do it is going to be a surprise.

Thor, however, will have a super huge panel.

[SpiderByte]

I'm 99.9% sure we won't.

We didn't get a Thor picture until filming had wrapped up. I figure it'll be the same for Cap.

[Aesop Rocks]

ALL THESE PERCENTAGES ARE BLOWING MY MIND. :wow:

I'm 100% sure your exaggerating. ;)

I'm 99.9% sure we won't.

SDCC did not take place mid-way through shooting Thor. It is an entirely different situation.

ummm i wanna b sure about something?

[SpiderByte]

SDCC did not take place mid-way through shooting Thor. It is an entirely different situation.

3 weeks into filming is barely "mid-way". It would be stupid for them to start promoting it right at the beginning of filming. They'd still be shooting the first few scenes.

We won't be getting any final images that early in.

Now, can we get back to discussing Thor, now?

[Aesop Rocks]

ummm i wanna b sure about something?

You can be sure about being sure you want to be sure about something. :D :up:

[Chewy]

It would be stupid for them to start promoting it right at the beginning of filming. They'd still be shooting the first few scenes.
Oh yes. It does not get any stupider than majorly hyping up your core fanbase for your $140million movie at the largest geek event of the year with a simple picture from a photoshoot that could happen at literally any point before or during shooting.

I am not sure what you think them still shooting the first few scenes has to do with them releasing a publicity photo at comic-con.

[louiebling$]

Evans has been to a lot of CCSD.... it would so epic if Evans showed up in the Cap Costume :awesome:

[SpiderByte]

I mean it is still ridiculously early for the San Diego ComiCon. Later ones, maybe, but it's too early to expect anything for SDCC.

Now, as I said, can we actually get back to Thor now?

[Webhead2006]

yea definately going to be footage for thor there since they have plently of time to get a special footage reel set for viewing at con. I would love if it makes it way online since i cant go to the con myself. As for cap i agree probably not going to be much there. Since filming would be just about a month in counting on when marvel's panel is on comic con dates. So we will probably just have the director there, and maybe 2 or 3 cast members to talk about how filming is going. Maybe some posters. and would love if we get some concept looks at things. Then as for avengers i am sure they will probably release some more details on that. Since its schedule to start shooting in jan or feb.

[MikeFrost]

Or they could do it IJ4 style... imagine a video Q&A with Evans and Weaving in costume on set :awesome:

As cool as that sounds, I think it'd ultimately take me out of the movie.

Seeing the people behind the characters characterized but acting like themselves really stops the ilusion. Specially with a heavy makeup character as Red Skull. Don't know if you get me.

It's like seeing Heath give an interview as himself while on the Joker costume. Would totally downplay his role for me.

A good actor is known for disappearing in his role. Having them appear as actors while in their role, contradicts that.

[Weadazoid]

Seriously think about the title of this thread........... Set pics.........


They did such a good job keeping this under wraps........ how is it they are already done filming and nothing got leaked cept for a shot of Detroyer that is now gone lost in cyber space...

[Moridin]

Evans has been to a lot of CCSD.... it would so epic if Evans showed up in the Cap Costume :awesome:

July 22-25.:word:

[ddddeeee]

I found a picture of the Destroyer armour but it's not a set picture. Am I still not allowed to post it?

[Aesop Rocks]

Hahaha.

[Aesop Rocks]

Yeah, you can post it. I just saw them.

[Webhead2006]

yea i saw that marvel studios office photo of the destroyer armor still looks good.

[Vartha]

I haven't seen that yet

[Son of Coul]

I can post this, right?

Just like the teaser says, I received this image today from a source who has been consistently reliable in providing valid updates on Marvelhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://**************.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=18667#) Studios projects. It appears to be the logo for the Thor movie (http://**************.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=18667#), starring Chris Hemsworth and Anthony Hopkins, which is due out in theaters (http://**************.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=18667#) May 6th, 2011:

http://www.**************.com/images/users/gallerypictures/11774L.jpg

The design for this logo has a heavy spacial influence, as opposed to the Nordic style (http://**************.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=18667#) lettering usually associated with Thor comics. But what really caught my eye was the resemblance of the lettering's texture to the texture of Thor's Uru-metal hammer, Mjolnir, which was seen at the end of Iron Man 2. (http://www.**************.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=17984)

Hopefully someone at Marvel Studioshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://**************.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=18667#) can either confirm or deny the validity of this image, and eager fans won't have to wait until San Diego Comic Conhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://**************.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=18667#) this July for an answer.

Very nice posters, but damn I hope they stick closer to the 'norse gods' side of it!

Just watch, they're going to pull the 'Fox' Silver Surfer on us and Thor will get all his powers from the hammer. Just watch...... hehehe

[Spider-Vader]

Eh, that'd mildly be from the comics though. Since Dr. Blake could only change back into Thor when he had the hammer.

[Bren]

I said THOR. Not Blake (who happily won't be in this). Thor. Thor, completely powerless without the hammer. Like Silver Surfer without the board.

Horrible thought, gotta chat to the therapist..........

Thanks for the big one, looks great.

[obin_gam]

holy shi- that logo is definetly not what I expected, but its also way way better :D

[Weadazoid]

Is that the legit Poster? Seems pretty vague

[marvel_freshman]

I did another version of the possible THOR movie logo. Check it Out!

[breyfogle_rules]

I absolutely frikkin' LOVE this poster. Seriously. It's better then I imagined.

[echostation]

this fits right in with the descriptions I got about how some of the buildings in Asgard look... more tech, organic and cold steel type of look, almost like a demi-god deity version of what we'd see in a Masters of the Universe film crossed with more Nordic, elegant slightly romantic elements

[Webhead2006]

if that is the logo is a nice looking one. Though between now and film release could always change.

[Weadazoid]

I am so stoked for pics of what Echo Station has described, this film is going to be Marvels Epic storm. For some reason I can't get the lord of the RIngs theme musci out of my head when I think about it. I think Asguard will be a majestic fantasy world that mixes the modern tech style of say buildings in the new Star Wars movies with an anchient feel of what we saw in Lord of the rings.

[CanaryFan]

We need loki and Sif pics!

[Webhead2006]

we will have more soon of enough.

[Aesop Rocks]

I think Loki is who we might get next.

[Chewy]

Marvel started releasing promo pics for the first Iron Man in late June of 2007, to EW I think

[Aesop Rocks]

Empire mag is getting a look at Thor in July.

Yeah, I suspect we'll have full costume pics of Thor, Loki, and Odin by this time next month.

OH YOU! :funny:

[Son of Coul]

Awesome. Some things I noticed- no helmet (though it was confirmed, wasn't it?) and parts of the circles (for lack of a better word) light up. The best part is that it looks even better in live action, so you know Cap's suit is gonna too.

[Figs]

Someone posted an image of the new Empire magazine in the Batman and Inception threads. On the cover it says there is an article about Thor. Might be some new stuff in there.

[Chewy]

He looks very... princely.

I assume the lights on his handle and chest-circles only light up when Mjolnir's in use.

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Those are real? Look kinda maniped.

[Chewy]

Those are real? Look kinda maniped.
They're concept art, like the Evans-as-Cap pics. But as you can see, the design is the same as the final costume (at least, the upper body is the exact same as the pic Marvel released)

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Alright, thought his face looked weird and didn't match up. Other than that, looks pretty cool.

[Drz]

I really like the armor design, but once again i don't really see the point of the cloak. I kinda always wish it was something cool medieval like Dragonscale or something. :p Kinda like Odin's cloak (coipel comic design that is) was fur and whatnot. :) Still very very cool armor design.

Although this is concept art , Drew McWeeny over at Hitfix has this to say :
http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/2008-12-6-motion-captured/posts/by-the-gods-what-photoshoppery-bedevils-chris-hemsworth-as-thor?m=k

By the gods, what Photoshoppery bedevils Chris Hemsworth as Thor?


Oh, my.

So we start the day with some images of Captain America, clearly production art designed to show how the costume might look on the actor. Reaction to those images have been mixed all day, and I understand... it's a pretty striking thing to suddenly see Captain America rendered "realistically."

Well, that reaction should be nothing compared to the conversations that some leaked images of Chris Hemsworth in his full Thor costume should inspire.

Over at Collider, they were sent two pictures that definitely show you the final design for the way Thor looks in next summer's "Thor." However, I've been to the set for that film, and I've seen Hemsworth in final costume tests, and I've seen the overall aesthetic for Asgard. While what you're seeing in the Collider images is indeed the design for the costume, there are several details about it that are ill-served by those images.

For one thing, it does not appear to be made of vinyl or plastic when you see the costume in context and in motion. I'm surprised by how disco-shiny those photos make him look, because that's not at all what it looks like in the film. There's a real cloth and metal feel to all of the costuming, especially the Asgardian stuff.

That early official shot of Hemsworth did a nice job of setting a mood, and that's something these leaked images lack completely. Also, whoever did the Photoshopping on these has some real issues with scale. Forget that cape that looks snapped on... what about the way his head and hands look freakishly large?

Look, these images weren't meant for public consumption. If you're looking at these and thinking, "Oh, man, they got him totally wrong," relax. The world of "Thor" is big and rich and surprising, and I think once people actually see moving footage, they're going to let go of any minor issues they have with button sizes or color palettes.

One final note on these images... they make Mjolnir, Thor's enchanted hammer, look fairly dinky. I've held that hammer. That thing is heavy as hell, and the real trick of what Hemsworth's got to do in the role is make it look not just menacing, but imposing as well.

"Thor" will be in theaters May 6, 2011. We'll have plenty more on the film, including details of that set visit and what we saw there, in the next year right here on HitFix.

I was worried a Thunder god would look terribly out of place next to Iron Man and Cap but they have done an amazing job in making it faithful but keeping it in line with the other heros costumes

no metion of the helmet, at all. okay, I am official worried its not going to appear.

I was wondering how long before someone did this. Looks great.:awesome:

[Ipodman]

No feather on the heads for both Thor and Cap?

[dark_b]

every concept art in photoshop looks plastic. they dont add realistic textures because it is concept art.

those are photoshop experts who know a lot about scale and proportions.
i dont know what the guy from hitflix is smoking.

[spider-neil]

don't mind the lack of feathers on cap but no helmet at all for thor is a massive oversight.

[Ipodman]

Well, thats just concept art... maybe he puts on the helmet like mid way into the movie

[spider-neil]

why would they leave the helmet off?
not optimistic...

[JAK®]

Art like this is often used in promotional images, where they will want to advertise Hemsworth as much as possible. So he isn't wearing the helmet for that reason.

So why don't we see Chris Evans face? Captain America has the mask because it makes him look distinctive. Thor's helmet isn't that distinctive other than the wings, so he would just look like a viking.

[misjuevos]

mjolnir's hilt looks like the lotr sword of bilbo/frodo "sting",lol

the costume is very good but if there is no helmet then it loses points for me. why wouldn't you give him a helmet its not like his face would be hidden like spidey's mask. I can feel my rage slowly rising...

[jmc]

Looking at it with fresh eye I might be the only one but I think they may have gone a bit over board with Thor's design here, I got nothing wrong with something modern but I think they may have gone a little too far in this instance. I'd have to see the costume in context though to make a fully judgment on whether it works.

[Weadazoid]

WHere did the THor design come from? Seriously is that gleamed form the miage....if so Brilliant work

[Compi716]

Thor looks kinda cool...can't say I'm the biggest fan of the rocker pants, though. The upper body looks great. But WHERE'S THE HELMET?! HELMET DAMNIT!

Also, for all the haters...the lines in the chest disks GLOW. :hehe:

[Compi716]

Re: Helmet.

This "insider" from AICN says that the costume WILL have a helmet. See the full details here: http://www.**************.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=16372

[Nivek]

After they took Cap's wings, I'm really thinking Thor doesn't wear a Helmet in this movie.

What is going on, Marvel?

[Dark Raven]

like so...

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i51/thelongestday_photos/AVENGERS2.jpg



Iron Man doesn't look properly scaled in that pic. While RDJ is shorter than Evans and Hemsworth, in the suit, he actually stands taller than his actual height, as seen in Iron Man 2. Also, Iron Man should look slightly larger. At the moment he looks like the Face Off Iron Man, Two Pack Iron Man or movie Iron Man figures placed next to the older Toybiz Thor and Captain America.

[sha1243]

I love this thor concept art. For those who don't ilike the pants we know that in the movie its not going to look exactly like this. I mean if you compare this picture to the half picture it looks more darker and realistic so im sure there going to make the pants look good on screen

[The_Mighty_Thor]

All I know is there had better not be blue light coming from the chest discs in the film!

As for Cap I hate that look! Especially the belt and over the shoulder straps.

[TheCorpulent1]

no metion of the helmet, at all. okay, I am official worried its not going to appear.
There'll be a helmet.

I'm glad that person who's actually seen the live-action costume clarified some things. The "metal and cloth" look he/she describes sounds a lot better than the glossy look of the costume in those concept images.

Regarding the costume itself: It's pretty awesome. I'm very happy. I like that Mjolnir glows a bit. I don't think the glowing bits on the discs were necessary, but I guess it implies a nice connection between the power of the hammer and the power of Thor himself. One thing I would've liked to see is a bit of the tunic hanging down over Thor's crotch. For some reason, that look gets "old world warrior" across to me better than pretty much anything else. But that's just a nitpick.

The only part I flat-out dislike is that extraneous silver band around Thor's right leg. What is that for? It reeks of that '90s "straps/pouches for straps'/pouches' sake" aesthetic.

Still, looks great overall. Can't wait to see it in motion. :up:

[Manowar]

I hope is hair is going to be this long in the movie.

[S.A.A.D.]

I sort of hate how Chris looks as Thor in those new pics,he looks like he need to get rid of a bit of hair from his eyebrows. It almost looks like as if he has a unibrow.

[TheCorpulent1]

It's probably the Photoshoppiness, to some extent. You'll be able to tell what parts of his face are skin and what parts are hairy eyebrows a lot easier on Hemsworth's real face, as opposed to those pics, which have everything super-glossy and shiny.

[Maximillian]

That block on a stick hammer design looks good.

[afan]

Thor look's awesome! Like a lot of others...........waiting on the helmet.

[Superhero 101]

Sweet

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Why does EVERY superhero HAVE to look like it's comic book version EVERYTIME! Why can't it have an updated look? I just get sick of all the "Capt. America's helmet doesn't have wings, so therefore the movie will suck...BOOOOO!" crap. Get over it, these are just Concept Art that DOES NOT reflect the final look. You better believe that there will be changes here and there, both during and after shooting. Especially during the post production, when they start touching up the shots. Just chill out and enjoy the ride people! We are getting a freaking THOR and Capt. America movie! That in and of itself is awesome! I love the look of both characters. Sure they don't mirror the comic books EXACTLY, but would you really want them to? Seems to me that if they look exactly like their comic book counterpart, then they would look awfully campy, IMO.

[Flint Marko]

There are certain parts of a character that should never be scrapped or changed. IE, thors helmet. I'm all for changes, just not unneccessary ones. I feel that no matter how you spin it, leaving out thors helmet is a dumb unneccessary decision.
But no matter, I really don't think they're gonna do that even though its awfully suspicious that they left it out of the production art...

[TheCorpulent1]

People want the comic looks because the comics are the source material. They're what the fans already know and love. No one's saying they have to be absolutely identical or anything. Thor's costume isn't identical, but it's very similar and people seem pretty satisfied with it. Problems with Cap's costume don't even seem to be about the lack of wings. The main complaint I've seen comes from those big, ugly straps that kind of overpower everything else about the costume.

I was just using the lack of the wings as an example. It looks like the straps actually serve a purpose of holding those shoulder plates in place, plus it gives the illusion of the vertical red stripes on that part of the costume. Like I said, though, I'm sure that it will be touched up in post production, as this is just concept art.

[TheCorpulent1]

I understand what the straps are there for, but they still look ugly to me. In addition to being so huge that they overpower the rest of the torso elements, they also give the star a claustrophobic, boxed-in feel when, really, the star should be the most prominent element on the torso.

But those are all just nitpicks, really. The costume looks suitably iconic--even if it's not as good as I would've hoped--and the really important things are how Evans does in the role and how the movie presents the character. If they nail those, the costume's just a footnote. I haven't really liked a single Batman movie costume, but I still love several of the Batman movies.

[Chewy]

Problems with Cap's costume don't even seem to be about the lack of wings.
The last 15 or so pages in the "Captain America's Costume" thread say otherwise :cwink:

[afan]

I wouldn't say the absence of the wings are problematic amongst posters, but that their presence would be wish fulfilling.

I completely understand where you are coming from, and I actually agree that they look gaudy, and hopefully they will be evened out. I wholeheartedly agree that a lot of it will come down to how Evans acts the part, and everything else will just fall into place. I really think that he will shine in this role. I firmly believe that he will become the person that another actor will be compared to, when a new franchise is started in the future. Just like how everyone who plays the part of Superman is compared to Chris Reeve nowadays.

[TheCorpulent1]

The last 15 or so pages in the "Captain America's Costume" thread say otherwise :cwink:
Then I'm glad I never go there. :oldrazz:

The few people that I've been talking to about it seem more concerned with the big straps.

[Angamb]

the legs looks too modern dont you think.... like something a skater would wear

definetly, thats what I dont like at all from the costume, it looks too modern for being an asgard.

I think it would be more interesting to have a more historic look.

This and the Cap costumes looks too similar, I think, modern and same colours

[Spidey-Quad]

I was worried a Thunder god would look terribly out of place next to Iron Man and Cap but they have done an amazing job in making it faithful but keeping it in line with the other heros costumes

But really, shouldn't he? I think the heroes will look silly if they all have, say leather style uni's. Thor's from another world/place/time. His clothes should look differant.

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, consider that, unlike Cap and Iron Man, Thor's costume is basically his everyday clothing. So in that sense, it is a bit different from them.

[The Sage]

definetly, thats what I dont like at all from the costume, it looks too modern for being an asgard.

I see it as a near modern day take on Asgardian wear, which makes sense since these gods do exist in the present day in the story, so I can't expect it to be that ancient looking.

There was a post I read earlier where somebody involved in the production says that the concept art doesn't do the look justice .... that it will have a more natural look. That being said, I can see why elements of "tech" have been added. It's so that when it comes time to the Avengers, Thor isn't so wildly out of place.

Why does EVERY superhero HAVE to look like it's comic book version EVERYTIME! Why can't it have an updated look? I just get sick of all the "Capt. America's helmet doesn't have wings, so therefore the movie will suck...BOOOOO!" crap. Get over it, these are just Concept Art that DOES NOT reflect the final look. You better believe that there will be changes here and there, both during and after shooting. Especially during the post production, when they start touching up the shots. Just chill out and enjoy the ride people! We are getting a freaking THOR and Capt. America movie! That in and of itself is awesome! I love the look of both characters. Sure they don't mirror the comic books EXACTLY, but would you really want them to? Seems to me that if they look exactly like their comic book counterpart, then they would look awfully campy, IMO.

It's like going to see your favorite band live, but instead of playing your song the way it is on the album, they change it so drastically that you don't even recognize it anymore. Now I'm not saying they should play every chord and sing every note like you hear it on the record, because then what's the point of seeing it live. They should change it enough so that it's interesting and a new take, but still keeping the essence of why you liked the song in the first place. In other words, if U2 turns "With or Without You" into a rap song, then no. But if they just do it as an acoustic version with nothing else, it can still be great, if not better than the original.

There's going to be a helmet people! It's been mentioned in interviews. He's just not wearing it for these promos.

I love this costume, it's a more realistic version of the Modern (& best) costume. Chain-mail legs WOULD of looked stupid in real life.

Yeah I can't possibly see them doing a Thor film without the helmet.
