The Official Thor News and Set Pics Thread

[Spider-Vader]

IM2's took like a week or two didn't it? I remember people being all jittery about it not popping up.

[Son of Coul]

Yeah but I feel like they WANT to have Thor's footage leak quickly, like "the big reveal" after keeping everything under wraps so well for so long. Plus they may need it if the Norton thing doesn't blow over by then.

[Webhead2006]

yea every panel various for footage coming out or not coming out.

[Spider-Vader]

Why don't they officially release like an hour after the CC screening?

Overall they look cool but show us the goddam helmets already!:cmad:

[RealIrOnMaN]

It's official: The hammer of Thor and the shield of Captain America will fly straight at moviegoers in 3-D, which is really no surprise considering the current stereoscopic craze on the studios lots of Hollywood. What is unusual is the eagerness of each film's director to take his case for 3-D directly to the fans at Comic-Con International.‬

On Saturday, July24 , Marvel Studios has the final studio presentation in the expo's biggest room, Hall H, and "Thor" director Kenneth Branagh will use that climactic slot not just to introduce some of his cast -- a cast that includes Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins, but its unlikely that all three will be in San Diego -- but also to persuade skeptical fans that 3-D will add new dimensions to the 2011 blockbuster, and not just in the obvious way.

"We came to feel that in our case 3-D could be the very good friend of story and character for a different kind of experience," Branagh said, taking a break from post-production. The filmmaker said the terminology of the 3-D process initially made him cringe -- at first, it was "math and physics and way over my head," he said with a chuckle -- but then he started to pulse with the unexpected artistic opportunities.

"It's another draft of the story that can reveal itself in a different way," he said. "I had a healthy degree of skepticism up front ... I've become somebody extremely excited about working with possibilities of doing it this way."

"Thor" is a version of the old Norse myths that's been heavily processed by the cosmic dream factory known as the Marvel Comics universe. The film's title character spends part of the film in Asgard, a celestial kingdom, and part in a Hopper-esque town in New Mexico, where Thor (Hemsworth) is exiled by his father and monarch, Odin (Hopkins).

Branagh said he changed his approach with some scenes to maximize the 3-D benefits.

"A pretty careful conversation is what we've been having for quite some time about what we know has to be the most sensible decision: Is it led by story? Can this offer a different type of experience and exploit what we have in the story? It absolutely can ... we travel very long distances in the movie and the opportunity to export and exploit the journey of the hero is really offered up as a great potential enhancement here."

"Thor" will be the first Marvel film in 3-D. The second will be "Captain America: The First Avenger" due July 22. The director of that film, Joe Johnston, has experience with stories of the fantastic (his credits include "Jurassic Park 3" and "The Wolfman"), but he said he was also skeptical of 3-D after seeing some recent films make missteps.


"I think it tends to be overused and can be a little bit gimmicky," said Johnston, who began shooting last week in London but will travel to San Diego for Marvel's Comic-Con panel. "A lot of people are using 3-D now because they feel have they have to ... that will come and go and the pictures that deserve to be in 3-D will continue to be. When it's done bad, it can make you carsick."

Johnston did a one-day test shooting with a 3-D rig -- as opposed to shooting in 3-D and converting -- and said it was "a nightmare" due to bulky gear, calibration issues and restricted filmmaking options. He said he's a firm believer, though, in the conversion approach if done right and he's enthused to move forward. "It's a new challenge and it's exciting," Johnston said.

Both "Captain America" and "Thor” use 2-D for principal photography, but the considerable special effects for the films were conceived and executed from the beginning in 3-D, something that will help them avoid certain pitfalls, said Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige.

Feige and Branagh were interviewed together in a conference call with The Times. They acknowledged a negative stigma to 3-D, at least in the eyes of savvy fans like those who attend Comic-Con.

"I'd say there's not a great feeling out there for conversion based on some of the films that may have succeeded financially but had their artistry come under fire," Feige said, not naming names but most likely referring to "Clash of the Titans," the Warner Bros. release that surpassed $490 million in worldwide box office but was savaged by critics for a rushed 3-D conversion that many saw as especially clumsy, distracting and ill-advised.

Feige, in London for "Captain America," pledged that "an unprecedented amount of time" would be devoted to the conversion process. He also said the films will benefit from the fact that the 3-D choice was made early on with passion and planning and not in post-production, as was the case with a flurry of films that came on the heels of "Avatar" and its historic box-office success.

"In being able to think in 3-D from the start -- and having every bit of our special effects rendered in true 3-D -- we have the opportunity to do it right," Feige said. "When you're working with a director like Ken Branagh or Joe Johnston, they're not going to settle for less than perfect image. They're not going to settle for something that isn't up to the artistry of everything else they've done on the film ... they're not going to put on some overlay in the last 10 to 12 weeks of post-production for a fiscal reason."

With "Thor," especially, Feige said, the citadels of Asgard and the rainbow bridge at its gates lend themselves to 3-D. "It's one of those maybe rare times where 3-D accentuates the story and the way the viewer is brought into this new world. That's what 'Avatar' and 'Alice in Wonderland' were all about -- going into new realms, new worlds ... I think with the "Harry Potter" films and ours you're about to see a slew of movies where 3-D was done by people who had the time."

Marvel Studios arrives at Comic-Con this year with a bit of wheel wobble on its brightly colored bandwagon. "Iron Man 2," released in May, was clearly a hit but the reviews didn't match the franchise's first installment. The real concern, however, is whether the upstart outfit can deliver a heroic box-office performance with a movie that doesn't star Robert Downey Jr., who hard-wired the humor that got 2008's "Iron Man" off the ground and made the studio's first released film a signature success.

Marvel will drop some bombshell announcements in San Diego about "The Avengers," the 2012 film that, reportedly, will be directed by Joss Whedon. The creative force behind "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" will get a long, loud cheer if he is indeed introduced during the panel, but Feige will also have use some stage time for damage control, too, considering the indelicate public banishment of actor Edward Norton from the Marvel Universe.

The two-time Oscar nominee portrayed Bruce Banner, the transmogrifying central character in "The Incredible Hulk," Marvel Studio's other 2008 release, and he was expected to reprise the role in "The Avengers" until the sour split. Marvel insiders say a "name" replacement will be announced at Comic-Con or sooner but they wouldn't speak to rumor roulette that has mentioned Joaquin Phoenix, Adrien Brody, Nathan Fillion and David Tennant as the man who has been (or should be) picked to lead the new green movement.

[JustABill]

No bad marvel. Bad bad marvel.

[Gamma Burst]

They look amazing!

[The Avatar]

I don't like this style they've gone with, they look too campy and 'Doctor Who' for me. I'm starting to lose interest now.

[TheComicbookKid]

That is quite a look.

[JustABill]

I don't like this style they've gone with, they look too campy and 'Doctor Who' for me. I'm starting to lose interest now.
Ain't nothing wrong with Doctor Who. And I definitely don't see anything that screams Doctor Who at all to me in that image.

[Whiskey Tango]

I could care less about the 3d crap but the costumes look awesome.

[Gamma Burst]

Anthony Hopkins is looking badass!

[The Avatar]

Ain't nothing wrong with Doctor Who. And I definitely don't see anything that screams Doctor Who at all to me in that image. of course you don't, you're a fanboy. That pic is awful and they look no better than plastic Halloween costumes.

[sha1243]

These costumes look great. Now only thing I want to see is Thor and Loki's helmets.

[JustABill]

of course you don't, you're a fanboy. That pic is awful and they look no better than plastic Halloween costumes.
Hahaha. I'm far from a Thor fan boy. I love the character, but if I geniunely thought his costume was crap, I'd say it.

Hence my outright stating I hate Odin's metallic eye patch.

[Aesop Rocks]

I don't like this style they've gone with, they look too campy and 'Doctor Who' for me. I'm starting to lose interest now.

Well, see ya!

[TheCorpulent1]

of course you don't, you're a fanboy. That pic is awful and they look no better than plastic Halloween costumes.
Dang, if you could find me some Halloween costumes that look that good, I might actually start dressing up again. :up:

[Figs]

Looks pretty cool.

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

I think they look AWESOME!!

[Aesop Rocks]

Dang, if you could find me some Halloween costumes that look that good, I might actually start dressing up again. :up:

:awesome: :funny: :up:

[Spider-ManHero12]

As I said in the other thread, I think they look amazing! This film can't quick enough!

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm not quite feeling the color combination on Loki's costume. The gold looks a bit too washed out to contrast with that dark green well. But that may be more of a lighting issue. Also, I still love the metallic seashell style of Odin's eyepatch, but I find I prefer the darker one we saw in the Entertainment Tonight footage more than this bright gold one. Aside from those issues, I do like the costumes overall. I like how it looks like they used Thor's costume as a starting point and extrapolated the other characters' costumes from his. It gives the royal family a really coherent look that you could basically say is the style that denotes nobility in Asgard (sort of like purple being universally recognized as a regal color because European kings have historically worn it).

The picture as a whole looks really good, too, with Thor and Loki representing the light and dark side of the house of Odin, respectively, with the head of the house between them.

[Compi716]

I LOVE the armor! It's so crazy and over-designed...exactly like something Kirby would do!

But I'm missing the helmets...if Thor doesn't get his, fine, but Loki NEEDS his horns.

[Aztec]

I personally wish the costumes had a more middle ages/LOTR feel to them. These outfits are more "futuristic" than I was hoping for.

The costumes look fine, but it's not the artistic palette I would have went with.

[Savage]

I'm diggin' this. The unified look the Asgardians have going. It's a neat idea and fits very well with Kirby's futuristic style that was originally intended. The basic look of the costumes from the comics are still there without looking ridiculous. These men look like gods.

[CanaryFan]

I too would have preferred a more old fashion look to the costumes but those look pretty good and at least the arms don't look as rubbery as they did on the first pic that was released.

[Aesop Rocks]

I really don't understand why they haven't released pictures with helmets. :/

[TheCorpulent1]

Anyone else notice the crazy, seemingly Gehry-esque building they're standing in? If that's the look of Asgard's buildings, I like it. It looks like marble, which means it's both lavishly built and somewhat impractical, which kind of makes sense when you consider that it was all probably created with a magical wave of Odin's hand. :D

[Keyser Soze]

I think the thing about all these costumes is that they all look incomplete without the helmets. Once we see images of Thor and Loki wearing helmets, we'll get a better sense of how these costumes really work.

But still, though it's not perfect, my impressions on this image are generally positive.

[sha1243]

I'm starting to think that they messed up on the helmets and there not going to show it until the movie hits theaters but I'm hoping that there just waiting for comic con and the trailer to show the helmets.

[Aesop Rocks]

Hemsworth and Hiddleston confirmed helmets, right?

[TheCorpulent1]

One of the movie press-types who visited the set confirmed seeing them. Don't know about the actors themselves.

[louiebling$]

Didn't Hemsworth talk about the Helmet in an Interview?

By the way that New Pic =:awesome::awesome::awesome::thor:

Odin looks like he can kick some Serious ass.... Regally :D

[Chris Wallace]

SECOND THOR STILL - http://spidermedia.ru/node/2728

:word:

[JAK®]

We got an in-depth description of Loki's helmet. The fact that his fairly iconic helmet isn't in this image implies that the characters aren't going to be wearing them all the time. Perhaps only when in battle.

[Brian Braddock]

Nice pic - love the fact that you can see that Thor and Loki obviously dont trust each other.

[Shivsguy616]

Dissapointing pic; not very norse...

[louiebling$]

Dissapointing pic; not very norse...
Go pic up Kirby's Run and prepare for there to be lack of "Norse" :o

[Brian Braddock]

I may well be in the minority here, but I actually wouldnt have a problem with that. In fact, it makes sense to me that they wouldnt wear them all the time.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, people pretty much need to get over the Norse thing. That ship has sailed. This is a movie based on the comics, not the myths of the actual vikings, and it looks like it.

[maenalus]

Go pic up Kirby's Run and prepare for there to be lack of "Norse" :o

I've not read Lee's/Kirby's original books. Did they portray the gods as "gods", that is immortal men with advanced technology?

[louiebling$]

I may well be in the minority here, but I actually wouldnt have a problem with that. In fact, it makes sense to me that they wouldnt wear them all the time.
Yea me either... in the comics it works... but in a movie I would be thinking "Why are they wearing Battle Helmets when they aren't Battling"

I'm not gonn be bothered if the only time we see them is during War.... Hell if that's the case its gonna juice us fans even more when we get to those battle scenes :awesome:

Just Imagine we see Thor, Odin and Loki going to battle...... Thor or Odin giving the an Encourageing pre Battle Speech and before he finishes his last words Pauses to put his helmet on :awesome: Then BATTLE....... by the beard of Odin that has me excited just thinking about it :o

[TheCorpulent1]

I've not read Lee's/Kirby's original books. Did they portray the gods as "gods", that is immortal men with advanced technology?
Nope, they were just gods. They had advanced technology, but there was no mincing words about who they were. They were the Norse gods of ancient myth.

[Whiskey Tango]

Go pic up Kirby's Run and prepare for there to be lack of "Norse" :o

Indeed.

http://i30.tinypic.com/9rivzp.jpg

[Doc Ock]

Go pic up Kirby's Run and prepare for there to be lack of "Norse" :o

But is that bad thing? I mean, its kinda hard to be true to Norse mythology when its characters live in a comic book world. :p

[Chewy]

In the first draft Loki only donned his crazy helmet for the film's final act. Obviously the script has gone through many changes since them, so who knows if they've kept that aspect of it

[maenalus]

I see some are disappointed that these dudes are decked out in Kirby-tech, and aren't dressed like actual historical Norsemen.

That's so odd...fans of comic series going on about how lame that comic is, Wonder Woman has the kind of fans.

The whole point of making a this Thor movie is that it be Stan Lee's and Jack Kirby's Thor, not just any Thor movie.The same thing applies to WW, a WW movie shouldn't be just some Amazon movie.

[TheCorpulent1]

But is that bad thing? I mean, its kinda hard to be true to Norse mythology when its characters live in a comic book world. :p
Not a bad thing at all, given that the Marvel versions of the gods are pretty drastically different from their mythological counterparts. louie was just pointing out to the people complaining about the lack of Norse influence that it's nothing new to the Marvel versions. People really need to separate the two in their minds. If they were making a movie based on the Norse myths, these costumes would be all wrong. But they're making a movie based on the comics, for which these costumes are pretty appropriate.

[Aesop Rocks]

Odin has an eye patch? This movie is ruined.

Actually, it looks like the backgrounds we built for stage productions back in high school and college. :o I even recognize the style of painting.

I like the costumes but color me thoroughly unimpressed with that set.

And Gehry? GEHRY? That ain't no Gehry. :dry:

May have been mentioned but besides concept art is the first shot of Hemsworth with the hammer?

[ddddeeee]

Badly photoshopped patch aside,I really like it.

[Whiskey Tango]

I doubt it's a real set, it's not even attached to the floor. They probably just wheeled it out there so they'd have a backdrop for the photo.

[Shivsguy616]

Go pic up Kirby's Run and prepare for there to be lack of "Norse"

No need to prepare; seen it.

[Squidboy]

The new still looks awesome. I hope they do show the helmets sometime soon, as both Loki and Thor are both easily recognized in part to their headgear, but anything at this point is better than nothing.

And as much as I'd love to see Thor in 3D, I think this trend is getting out of control, so it'll be 2D for me. Plus I don't think the movie was shot in true 3D anyhow, so it won't look as cool as it should anyhow.

[Parker Wayne]

I like the pic. This is shaping up into a pretty good film. I like that they basing it on the Kirby run than Norse Mythology. It distinguishes that this is the Marvel Universe version of the Norse god, like the Captain America film is Marvel's version of WWII. I am worried about the lightning in certain scenes though.

About Thor in 3D, I'm not worried about it. They're going to have plenty of time for post-production and from what it sounds like in the interview with Kenneth Branaugh they planned for Thor to be in 3D unlike The Last Airbender and Clash of the Titans.

Alice in Wonderland save for Crispin Glover's character didn't look bad in 3D and that was post-production and planned to be in 3D.

[maenalus]

Badly photoshopped patch aside,I really like it.

How can something be badly photoshopped when it isn't photoshopped?

[Anita18]

I doubt it's a real set, it's not even attached to the floor. They probably just wheeled it out there so they'd have a backdrop for the photo.
Why would they bother making a partial set just for a photoshoot? :funny: They would have done better using less depth of focus and making the background completely blurry so we can't see it. :funny:

[cryptic name]

I'm starting to think that they messed up on the helmets and there not going to show it until the movie hits theaters but I'm hoping that there just waiting for comic con and the trailer to show the helmets.

can't wait for comic con. one more week!

[TheCorpulent1]

How can something be badly photoshopped when it isn't photoshopped?
Maybe they touched it up? The gold of the eyepatch does look somewhat different from the gold on the rest of Odin's costume. But it's not an issue for me because the patch looks fine to me.

[Vartha]

Looks fine to me too
Glad to Finally see Loki tho!

[ultimatefan]

On the 3-D conversion thing... So far, the results of converted movies appear to be far less satisfying than those of movies shot that way. They say it will be done right, but I´ll sustain some skepticism, especially from any Kevin Feige´s statements.

[Chewy]

I think a big difference may be that they have a year to convert (unlike a month for Clash of the Titans or a few weeks for The Last Airbender)

[TheCorpulent1]

They at least seem to be aware of the crappiness of those conversions, so hopefully they'll actively try to avoid doing something similar.

[BoredGuy]

I believe they'll try...


Will they succeed though? Much more doubtful...

[louiebling$]

I think a big difference may be that they have a year to convert (unlike a month for Clash of the Titans or a few weeks for The Last Airbender)
O yea I agree... I think this might be the 1st post Conversion Success

[Brian Braddock]

I guess we'll see. I'm currently reading this month's EMPIRE magazine, and the head of visual fx on Tron: Legacy, EDIT: Eric Barba, basically says that conversion, any conversion, is a waste of time - you have to actually shoot in 3D to get the required result or not at all. Actually goes on to say he'd reject any conversion projects if they were offered to him, such is his dislike of them.

Unsure if what he says is how it is but the fella certainly knows his stuff.

[Abraham]

love the new pic, hate 3D

[Saint]

The absence of Loki's helmet make him appear distinctly average. He looks like he could be any Asgardian. If he wears the helmet, then no problem, but the absence of any helmets so far is a little ominous.

[ultimatefan]

I think a big difference may be that they have a year to convert (unlike a month for Clash of the Titans or a few weeks for The Last Airbender)

I get it, but I remember reading about the problems with COTT that it makes a big difference when you actually shoot for 3-D, there´s a different way to approaching camera pans, faster or slower cutting, etc. Johnston will be aware of these things while shooting CA, but Branagh is done with Thor´s principal photography, so I´m not sure he covered his bases well enough to avoid the pratfalls of post-production conversion. We´ll see.

[TheCorpulent1]

The absence of Loki's helmet make him appear distinctly average. He looks like he could be any Asgardian. If he wears the helmet, then no problem, but the absence of any helmets so far is a little ominous.
Yeah, Loki always looks a little weird without a helmet in the comics, too.

[Squidboy]

Alice in Wonderland save for Crispin Glover's character didn't look bad in 3D and that was post-production and planned to be in 3D.

I think the only cool 3D effect in the entire movie was the Caterpillar's hookah smoke, so needless to say forking over extra money for one cool visual wasn't worth it. Obviously Thor is a completely different movie (meaning it isn't almost entirely CGI-based) and they have some extra time to play with to convert the movie successfully, but I'm iffy about the converting process just for the sake of meeting this new fascination with 3D.

[TheCorpulent1]

Does it really matter either way? If you're worried about the 3D, watch the 2D version. I intend to do that for my first viewing of Thor, personally.

[Vartha]

My problem is that one pic of Branagh shows a HUGH Camera. Why used something like that if they weren't planning on it?

[TheCorpulent1]

Didn't the article say that they tried shooting with a 3D camera one day but found it too limiting?

[Vartha]

I don't remember, it was a while ago.
Maybe only parts were shot in 3D, or maybe they said that to throw off people.

[Antonello Blueberry]

Johnston did some tests with the 3D camera and found it too limiting.
This is a 3D rig that employs the new Arri cameras on a segway with a steadicam arm. They're using this rig on the new Martin Scorsese movie. As you can see it's not easy to do action scenes with this stuff.
http://www.3d-life.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/P1030267.jpg

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh, well, I have no idea what that camera in the pic with Branagh was, then. :o

[Parker Wayne]

On the 3-D conversion thing... So far, the results of converted movies appear to be far less satisfying than those of movies shot that way. They say it will be done right, but I´ll sustain some skepticism, especially from any Kevin Feige´s statements.

Well Avatar was the only live-action film that was actually filmed in 3D and that took year so I want to see a normal film shot in 3D. Avatar was carefully filmed and spent a hell of a long time in post-production.

I think a big difference may be that they have a year to convert (unlike a month for Clash of the Titans or a few weeks for The Last Airbender)

Yes, and like I said before, is everyone forgetting that Alice in Wonderland was a post-production 3D film. (The film sucked, but it was visually good in 3D save for a few problems.)

Post-Production could be good when it is carefully planned for and the right preparations were made.

3D, if the craze survives this year alone with so many terrible films being converted, can be very beneficial for Thor when it comes to the Box office.

[Antonello Blueberry]

If I remember the pic, it was probably a simple second camera, maybe a RED One.

[Antonello Blueberry]

Well Avatar was the only live-action film that was actually filmed in 3D and that took year so I want to see a normal film shot in 3D. Avatar was carefully filmed and spent a hell of a long time in post-production.

That's not true.
http://realorfake3d.com/
And Avatar was fully CGi (motion captured CGI) for a good chunk of it.

[Parker Wayne]

That's not true.
http://realorfake3d.com/
And Avatar was fully CGi (motion captured CGI) for a good chunk of it.

Ah, right. I forget about the CGI which makes it easier. The live-action scenes were shot well too and didn't look bizarre. One scene I liked was when the Navi was holding Sam Worthington's human body.

With that said, Cameron had all the time in world to edit this film. I really want to see if it truly makes a difference with time becuase contrary to popular belief filmmakers are still divided about which 3D process is better.

[dark_b]

what is not true? every shot in avatar was full 3D

[Chewy]

what is not true? every shot in avatar was full 3D
Probably this:
only live-action film that was actually filmed in 3D

[Aesop Rocks]

Screw avatar! This is thor!

[Parker Wayne]

I believe he wanted me to be corrected about it being completely live action when many scenes were completely CGI rendered.

[Anita18]

I get it, but I remember reading about the problems with COTT that it makes a big difference when you actually shoot for 3-D, there´s a different way to approaching camera pans, faster or slower cutting, etc. Johnston will be aware of these things while shooting CA, but Branagh is done with Thor´s principal photography, so I´m not sure he covered his bases well enough to avoid the pratfalls of post-production conversion. We´ll see.
And focus, too. I attended a panel with Wally Pfister and he noted that with Avatar, they were very careful not to change the focus plane throughout the movie. So your brain interprets the 3-D as immersion, instead of having to adjust your eyes with every single edit, which gets tiring and dizzying.

And obviously you can't cut too fast with 3-D, nor can you shoot dimly.

[Antonello Blueberry]

I believe he wanted me to be corrected about it being completely live action when many scenes were completely CGI rendered.
And about it being the ONLY live action movie shot in 3D when it's not.

[SpiderByte]

That picture is just....just pure epic.

[Parker Wayne]

And about it being the ONLY live action movie shot in 3D when it's not.

Yeah. So there hasn't exactly been a live-action film filmed in 3D. So I'm really starting to wonder if there's really a huge visual difference between the two ways?

[Spider-Vader]

I wish Loki's costume was more yellow. But besides that Odin & him look good.

[Sebastos]

Meh, don't care about 3D. On the other hand, the new pic is AWESOME. :awesome: Just please give us a pic with the helmets!!

[SpiderByte]

The possibility of helmets goes up and down every day. Damn.

Guess we won't know till we see the final film.

[The Avatar]

Screw avatar! This is thor!

that was totally unnecessary, grow up.

[JP]

Grow down! :cmad:

I must admit dark that cold looks best for the scene and I hope they went with that for the film.

[Brian Braddock]

The possibility of helmets goes up and down every day. Damn.

Guess we won't know till we see the final film.

You dont think the 1st statement kinda contradicts the 2nd one?

I mean, if we arent going to know until we see the final film as you say, how are we to assume that we aren't going to get helmets any more than we can assume that we are.

Personally, I think we'll have well and truly found out by then what the score is but I'm kinda of the feeling that just because we havent had a helmet reveal yet, it doesnt mean that we arent going to get them.

I'm still sticknig to the set reports until I see [or dont see, I guess would be more apt] something to the contrary.

[TheCorpulent1]

I prefer the second one, personally. I like the gold tinge to the lighting. Asgard is called "the Golden Realm," after all.

[Figs]

Nice pic and I agree about the scale-mail Braddock. Looks pretty cool. I think that other pic was just too bright and having Hopkins with that silly grin made it look cheesy.

This other pic having darker lighting works more and gives the film a bit of a different feel.

I had no worries about the look of the Armor. I just wish Thor had the Armor leggings instead of pants

Would've looked weird on screen. Pants is a better option.

heh I Worked at a Renaissance Faire for 13 years Max, plate maile leggings would look normal to ME. lol Granted they weren't form fitting but still. lol

[TheCorpulent1]

I would've been content with lighter pants. Grayish or even matching the blue of the tunic underneath his armor. But the black pants don't really bother me too much.

[marvel_freshman]

Though this is very old....do you guy remember an article I posted back in March, at CBM about a guy who apparently has seen the costumes. I just wanted to bring it up on how accurate he could be now that we have a few official pics. Heres what he had to say...


Everyone looks absolutely perfect, right down to the color scheme. ANd its straight up medieval future tech looking. And yes Loki has black straight hair even though Hiddleston is blonde and curly. THor is balls accurate though complete with cape, chain mail arms, the circles going down the front of the torso, and winged helmet.

I've seen the costumes, and they did absolutely [frick]ing nail it. Very Walt Simonson. And I think my reputation as someone very critical of most comic book films procedes me here so I'm not just some excited fanboy. The only thing that is funny about Loki's costume is that while its gold and has the big horns sticking out, the helmet part of it, meaning the part that actually touches his head, kind of looks like a bicycle helmet, I think more so that it would, practically speaking, stay comfortable on the actor and not move around due to the horns. The warriors three are also the same kind of medieval future tech look, a little less traditional than the comic but still very very awesome and the look of each of the actors themselves is [frick]ing dead on. Ray Stevenson looks especially cool in a chubby suit. Trust me, I think everyone here is going to be very very pleased as Branaugh just more or less adapted the comic. I was surprised at how well the looks work when translated into reality.http://www.**************.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=16372\

And he also most recently gave the descriptions of Warriors Three.
http://www.**************.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=19258

[SpiderByte]

Hm.


Well...for the time being, no helmets.

[MikeFrost]

This new picture looks LOADS better than the last one. Lighting really helps the costumes...

[Surfer]

Does that mean they used a bicycle helmet on Tom Hiddleston's head to connect the horns?:huh: I guess the basic shape is okay, but certainly don't want it to be recognizable as a bicycle helmet.

Other then that everything sounds perfect, just like we have been seeing in the photo's that have been released. Especially that last one with Thor and Odin looks absolutely spot on perfect.

I can't wait for more.

he just means the way it is fastened reminds him of a bicycle helmet. it likely fastens under the chin to stabilize his huge horns. i hope people stop demanding the helmets. Hemsworth already said in an interview that he has one, they probably only wear them for battle and ceremony.

I wonder if thats Loki to Thor's left and Odin's right in the EW pic.

Fandral and Hogun have a set of armor that looks a ****load more medieval than Thor and Odin's spacepirate garb...

[Aesop Rocks]

Helmets! Helmets everywhere!

[SpiderByte]

It's way too far away to tell, though.

Also, It looks like Thor is kneeling. This is probably when he's banished to Earth.

And now, finally, people will stop *****ing about the helmets. FINALLY.

[Aesop Rocks]

I guess that Loki just has horns growing out of his head.

My bad~

[Bren]

Without every actor in this movie being convicted of truly terrible crimes, , I was going to watch this film in the best cinema, first show of the opening weekend regardless of screenshots. Or even trailer. Im basically an already sold ticket.

But this photo has got me going big time. Well done with this pic. Well done.

[batsfan81]

I know this term gets thrown out there alot. Epic. Every new picture just raises my anticipation. The sets look amazing.I hope those of us not going to SDCC get a poster of some sort of Thor with helmet.

[Aesop Rocks]

Hell I was sold on Thor when well, it was announced. lulz

[Aesop Rocks]

Also, It looks like Thor is kneeling. This is probably when he's banished to Earth.

For some reason I doubt that. In the first draft Odin strips Thor almost nude before he banishes him.

[sha1243]

Same here no matter what they showed i was still going to see this movie but this picture is just very good. You can tell that they put hard work into the set with the designs and everything else. This and Green Lantern is going to be awesome now they just need to show something for Cap and i will be in fan boy heaven lol

[JP]

What a glorious photograph.

[SpiderByte]

I can't seem to find one person who says this movie will suck. Everything seems so perfect about it.

He even made the Horns work, I was worried that they'd have trouble with them, since their so big.

It looks like the promotional run is starting to take off! :awesome:

We'll be getting a teaser poster and trailer in FOUR DAYS.

Branagh is a *****ing genius, pulling us in. Hiding the helmets until around comicon, when the fever pitch for movies are higher than heaven? Genius. Absolute genius. Incredible.

[batsfan81]

Not trying to start a Venom in the eye thing, but whats in Hemsworth right hand? Is it the hammer? Like maybe he's recieving the hammer in the shot? Or could it be his helmet?

[Aesop Rocks]

Could be both. He IS Thor, after all.

[batsfan81]

So does everyone think we'll get a teaser poster from SDCC?

[Aesop Rocks]

Poster and trailer, most likely.

[Spider-Vader]

Hell, we'll probably get a trailer.

& THANK GOD for that picture, no more *****ing for the helmets!

You're kidding me, right? I don't see a helmet on Thor. This movie's gonna bomb.

[Silvermoth]

I wonder where Frigga's throne is? It's odd that she's the Queen of Asgard but she has to stand over the edge like that.

[Bren]

Maybe it ain't as advanced a society as we thought, and all the women are still in the kitchen or making babies.

Sif became a warrior because a troll burnt down her kitchen while she trying to make babies.

Now tell us how you really feel.

[Gamma Burst]

I gotta say it again: this is beautiful stuff!

[bubbadoom]

Thor has remove his helmet [under his left arm - see the bit of silver sticking out] and is holding the hammer in the right hand [see the handle and strap]. I could see this as the moment when Odin has summoned Thor to give him the boot, but who can say at this point.

[sabetoonth]

what he said! i really find that awesome

[maenalus]

Thor is looking awesome. I expect this to be one of my favorite superhero movies of all time.

[Bren]

If a very quick, flash version of that scene, with Odin booming "Begone!" (or something) is included in the teaser or main trailers, it's going to pull plenty of previous 'non-believers' ;)

[maenalus]

With such a beautiful Asgard, I hope they succeed in making the scenes on Earth not feel like a wast of time that could have been better spent in Asgard.

[Silvermoth]

I hope we see the mighty creation of Mjolnir. In all the pictures Thor already has Mjolnir. I want that moment to be a really major moment slightly similar to when Sweeney Todd gets his razor blades back in the movie "Sweeney Todd".

[Vartha]

Man that just looks cool!
Hope the rest is as Awesome!

[Saint]

I love that they didn't tone down the horns on Loki's helmet. Looks killer. Can't wait to see what Thor's looks like.

Notice Odin's ravens perched on the thrown.....nice!
Loki's helmet, makes me crave the reveal of Thor's helmet even more!

@Spider-neil

People like you on this website blow my mind. There literally isnt anything in the world thatll make some people happy. Clearly you push aside all reason just to have an excuse to wine and complain. Obviously he is showing his father respect by taking off his helmet and kneeling before him..........jeeze man

This is a fantastic glimpse and I CAN NOT WAIT for this movie. This is the #1 movie of mine for 2011. Ive said it since they announced it...this movie is going to be the sleeper and pull in an epic audience.

[Nathan]

Got to say, Loki's helmet looks pretty spiffy.

[dark_b]

thor STILL isn't wearing his helmet even though loki and odin clearly are!!!he wil lwear it in specific shots. he will not wear the hlemt in every scene that he is in the suit.

for dramatic acting they will not have the helmets on because they want to show the faces of the acors that they payed.

[MessiahDecoy123]

[The_Mighty_Thor]

i dont make the rules. :yay:

Yeah cause Batman and Dare Devil always ripped their cowls off every time they had an intense monent in costume, and I'm sure Captain America will do the same.:doh:

[TheCorpulent1]

The new pic looks fantabulous. Talk about "the Golden Realm," huh? Loki's helmet looks awesome, too. :hehe:

The only minor nitpick I might have is that Fandral and Hogun's costumes look a bit bland--Fandral looks like he's wearing black rather than green, in fact.
I wonder where Frigga's throne is? It's odd that she's the Queen of Asgard but she has to stand over the edge like that.
Frigga was never much more than a royal consort to Odin. She was respected and all, but she never played much of a role in governing except as a private advisor to Odin now and then. Hell, we barely even see her hand in raising Loki and Thor, even though we get a few references in the comics telling us she did. Basically, Frigga just isn't seen all that much in the comics at all. I really only remember a couple of appearances during Simonson's run and one instance where she counsels Sif after Sif effectively breaks up with Thor because she can't stand his "obsession" with Earth. I was actually surprised that they cast as big a name as Rene Russo for her in the film, given that she's such a non-entity in the comics.
I hope we see the mighty creation of Mjolnir. In all the pictures Thor already has Mjolnir. I want that moment to be a really major moment slightly similar to when Sweeney Todd gets his razor blades back in the movie "Sweeney Todd".
That would make an awesome opening credit sequence, with the dwarves hammering away at the forge and then, right when the screen flashes the big "THOR" title, we see the completed hammer in all its glory. :up:
Except that helmets don't cover the face.
Some do. Thor's current helmet in the comics covers most of his eyebrows by drooping down to the bridge of his nose, which makes showing emotion a bit harder, since the brow area is one of the main areas that show anger (eyebrows pushed downward) or surprise (eyebrows raised). He's not a totally unreadable robot with the helmet on or anything, but I can understand how a director might want it off a lot to allow the actor a bit more freedom. As long as we get a few iconic shots of Thor wielding the hammer with helmet firmly in place, I'll be happy. I don't need it there for every second of the film or anything.

[misjuevos]

i always wondered how thor kept his helmet on in all the battles. or just when he is landing it would be the first thing to go when falling, or just leaning over. movie magic time

[TheCorpulent1]

I always chalked it up to: "Eh, he's a god." :)

[Surfer]

This picture is so perfect, I love it. Loki has his horns and looks suspect, Odin looks majestic in his tunic type of outfit, and even Thor kneeling before his father with his cape draped perfectly. This picture would not have appeared as perfect in my opinion if Thor was wearing his helmet. The scene really calls for him to be without it, and I agree with someone who said it appears he might be holding it with his left arm. I really wish some people would stop complaining about Thor not having his helmet, when at this point is completely obvious we will be getting Thor with his helmet, at some point in the movie. So, please people give it a rest. Now all we need is a high def version of this picture so that we can go in and view all of the little details that are hard to make out because the shot was taken from a distance. I also can't wait to see a trailer, but these screen shots are so epic looking that it is giving me even more faith in the films success. I knew that Branagh and Marvel wouldn't let us down.

I don't know, I was never personally excited for Green Lantern. I'm more a fan of the Corps as a whole than of Hal, and the movie is clearly going to be very Hal-centric. The concept pics I saw of Kilowog--one of my favorite GLs--were not very promising, either. But it seems to get at least as much attention from the geek-movie media as Thor, plus Reynolds and Lively are bigger names in the pop culture sphere than Hemsworth, Hiddleston, and--at least as far as our demographic goes--Hopkins.
