The Official Thor News and Set Pics Thread

[Aesop Rocks]

Wait, so who's in charge then?

No idea.

[Weadazoid]

The Bigger HD pic now shows some good detail, we can see green is common color in Fandrals gear and Hogguns seems to be a VERY dark rolay blue, almost looks black, from a distance. We are all guessing the big red leg behind Fandral belongs to Volstag.

Perhaps Sif. Looks slender
I wonder who then is behind Loki

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, when the other Lantern Corps came into play, I stopped giving a poop about Hal and the Green Lanterns. As soon as I found out about Saint John Walker and Larfleeze I was like "Screw YOU Hal!". :awesome:
Oh, no, I just meant the other Green Lantern Corps members. I'm pretty bored of the Rainbow Corps at this point. I like Saint Walker, Miri from the Star Sapphires, and Larfleeze, but that's about it.

[Aesop Rocks]

RAINBOW CORPS?! :cmad:

THERAINBOWCORPULANT1!!!!!

[TheCorpulent1]

S'what I call 'em. The Rainbow Corps, which grew out of the emo-spectrum. :oldrazz:

[Aesop Rocks]

SO MEAN!!! :cmad:

[TheCorpulent1]

I know. :)

So anyway, that Thor pic is still awesome.

[Aesop Rocks]

Yeah, I think that set picture is the most impressive one I've ever seen.

[Vartha]

sorry AP, I just find it funny...:D

[Grommers]

I envision a Thor vs Green Lantern.


You have Thor who targets -> fantasy lovers and comic book favourites

and you got green lantern who targets -> sci-fi and comic book favourites.

[Vartha]

Yeah, I think that set picture is the most impressive one I've ever seen.

I can't wait to see Asgard!

[Aesop Rocks]

I wish that Asgard would look like Copiel's(?) Asgard.

[RealIrOnMaN]

Dan Jurgen's Asgard was awesome, as Lee/Kirby's. JMS' Asgard looks more like a big medieval castle, while Kirby's looks more high-tech.

My fave Asgard's are the more Traditional looking one's. To Me Kirby's design looked like a huge Theme park, or something from the Jetson's. I just hope they manage to stay away from that. So far They have a "look" going that might pass.

Now that!.........is a CAPE!!!!!!!!

I would like to see a cross between Jurgens' Asgard and JMS one. Would look tough. But who am I kidding, LET ME SEE THE BIFROST!!!! RAINBOW BRIDGE FTW!!

I also want the Destroyer to have like 10 min. fight with Thor. The cars are floating around, windows are breaking, everything goes nuts!!! Just like in Thor v2 #1-2.

[Vartha]

Yeah some people thought Coipel's Asgard looked like it came straight from LotR, which was JMS' theme it seems to me. He imagined Thor speaking like King Aragorn.
I just hope they come to a decent blending of all the Creations. :D

Yeah, right, JMS hated these "thou's; tis, nay's" you know?)

[afan]

^We've heard Thor speak, albeit briefly in the ET feature.

I wonder if the characters out of frame in the photo (Sif and or Volstagg)are included in the film scene, making the shot even more impressive in scope!

[RealIrOnMaN]

It was like "OVER HEAAAAARR!" = reminds me of "GET INTO THE CHOPPAH!"

my favorite version of asgard is simonson, he did away with kirby's george jetson asgard and replace it with a genuine viking village. I even perfer that version to coipel's castles.

Simonson was/will be always da best! Too bad there will be no Thor in Destroyer's Armor!!! Big loss))

But yeah, Simonson was the only one on Thor, who's writing/drawing at the same time and he was making all Thor stuff really epic. Best Surtur ever!

[Aesop Rocks]

There won't be any yay verily's in Thor.

Simonson's run is my favorite too. In fact, I think I'm going to read those again pretty soon. As I've mentioned before, I'd love to see the Casket of Ancient Winters story adapted for the screen.

Makes me wonder in what way Destroyer will be used. The Ages of Thunder Odin Armour or as the Weapon gone wild?

[TheCorpulent1]

I wish that Asgard would look like Copiel's(?) Asgard.
Coipel's is one of my least favorite Asgards, personally. It looks very plain for a city of the gods.

[RealIrOnMaN]

Could be. Put Odin's spirit inside Destroyer's Armor and there ya go! Just like in Matt Fraction's Ages of Thunder)

[Vartha]

Coipel's is one of my least favorite Asgards, personally. It looks very plain for a city of the gods.
I've always thought the "golden city" was simply named that because it was trimed in gold, not completely made of Gold as in the way Lee and Kirby portrayed it.
I liked Coipel's Asgard, tho I liked the Raney/Hanna's as well. Coipel to me has that historical look to it. Like I've said before the Renaissance Faire influence in me loves that part of Coipel.

[Hush]

No Thorspeak makes me said, I hope he says atleast once, I would have words with Thee.

[misjuevos]

that pic of loki thor and odin looks like maybe odin is showing them the destroyer armor or something.

Check out either side of the pic. You have what LOOKS like Volstagg's knee on the lower right behind Fandral, and another knee on the lower left behind Loki!

I wonder where those doors behind Odin lead. Thanks for the High Def. Picture you can really see the details better. Looks amazing.

The chamber during the time of Odinsleep, perhaps? Only my guess

[NickNitro]

@GhostPoet

Thats exactly what I thought as well. The chamber when he goes into the Odinsleep.

i said in another thread that this pic looks like odin is maybe showing them the destroyer armor or goin into the chamber where he will enter the odinsleep or something. i was more curious as to what they were looking at, while some where talking about the armor or helmets.

[Manowar]

A few things we notice from the Hall Pic. Odins ravens :) , I wish his 2 Wolves would've been at the base of the throne. But check out the hand rests on the throne. They are animals heads. I think maybe even snake heads to represent the World Serpent. The throne has snake-coil theme to it too.

Guard helmets remind me of Parasaurolophus dino heads.

We need a close up of the 2 side table thingies. Candle holders??

Yeah a torch of some sort on either side. Looks like webber grill's almost lol

They're obviously Asgard's fabled Tailgate Torches. :awesome:

[Vartha]

lol Roast Boar anyone?

[Kurosawa]

Freaking EPIC. I am in awe. My new PC wallpaper.

God...Kirby's awesome visual creations brought to life. This is just beautiful.

[PyroChamber]

If that's just Odin throne room, I can only imagine how the rest of Asgard will look; hopefully we'll get some outdoor shots of Asgard as well.

[Aztec]

I would imagine that Volgstagg is to the far right and Lady Sif is to the far left. That would cover all of the main cast of Asgardians.

This photo has me very excited for this film.

[TheCorpulent1]

I hope the movie is successful and the sequel brings Balder in. It feels like there's an integral part of Asgard missing knowing Balder won't play much of a role, if any, in this film.

[Aesop Rocks]

hehe, Balder.

*thinks back to the 1st draft*

[Vartha]

hehe, Balder.

*thinks back to the 1st draft*

heh smart Arse....he BARELY made it through the first quarter of the first draft lol

[TheCorpulent1]

Hopefully that's one of the changes in the rewrites, then. Is it really so much to ask for the important Asgardians to just stay alive through this film? Except maybe Odin, since the comics were certainly improved by his death...

[Vartha]

That is was I'm thinking. That would be about the color of Volstagg's costume on the right and that ET footage has Sif in Brown's.

This movie is going to be epic.

Gives us a pretty good idea of who will be on the panel (though I doubt it's just the three of them)

[TheCorpulent1]

Why, you! :argh:

[Chewy]

I would imagine that Volgstagg is to the far right and Lady Sif is to the far left. That would cover all of the main cast of Asgardians.
Except Heimdall but he's got a bridge to guard

Why yes, me.

BACK FOR REVENGE! :cmad: :oldrazz:

Well To us nit pickers Balders death just brings about Ragnarok....what a way to start a film ya know? lol

[Aesop Rocks]

If anyone dies in Thor, it's going to be Loki and Sif is going to be the next MJ from Spider-Man.

I promise you.

[TheCorpulent1]

But Jane is the love interest for the film...

[Vartha]

Except Heimdall but he's got a bridge to guard
lol I've always wondered....does Heimdall have a portapotty out there by the gate somewhere?

[Aesop Rocks]

But Jane is the love interest for the film...

Oh PUH-LEEZE, It'll be between Sif and Jane the entire time. Jane'll become a badass and Sif will become weak and vunerable.

Balder is a must for a sequel.

[Whiskey Tango]

He's got a little catapult, he just flings it out into space.

[Aesop Rocks]

I wonder what Heimdall does on his slow days?

[SpiderByte]

He probably wonders why GODS need gaurding.

Actually, Heimdall sings "All By Myself" by Eric Carmen.

[batsfan81]

id kill to be able to go to the auto. signing for Thor and Cap.

[x-fan]

I was looking at the hi rez pic and you can see the handle of the hammer sticking out past the cloak on his right side, and something something shiny on his left, either it his his helm or his arm can't see it clearly enough.

[misjuevos]

"why the black man gotta stay outside while the white man is inside drinking mead". This will be the thing everyone makes fun of. In casting heimdal regardless of race Branagh inadvertantly made his race an issue by making him the "doorman". It is quite ironic.

[SpiderByte]

But he gets a huge-ass sword. So he is easily awesome.

[Figs]

Much like everyone else, my money is on this pic being when Thor gets banished possibly.

I was thinking of another possibility though. Anyone think it might be a scene where Odin is dispatching them to take on some frost giants nearing Asgard and Thor of course will lead the charge?

Thor's scalemael looks way better in this image than it did in that first image that was released. It actually looks like armor made out of metal scales, and not silver molded rubber like we were all afraid it would look like.

Personally, I'm really interested in seeing how Thor's suit looks when it's all dirty and battle worn. It's a lot easier to sell the eye on a "used future" than it is for a "clean an new" future. Part of why some of these early shots look kind of jarring is because everything is so darned clean and tidy looking. Once we see Thor in battle though, hopefully that all changes.

The only one out of the main cast that would come close is Odin because he goes into an Odinsleep and that was in the first draft.

[Timstuff]

If it ends with Loki escaping and having a "Next time, Gadget, next time!" moment then I will be very disappointed. He doesn't have to die but if they want a complete story he needs to get his comeuppance in some way, or else it will feel like too blatant of a franchise setup instead of being a full movie. Public humiliation and imprisonment of the villain is usually the best alternative to killing them.

Loki's a Frost Giant ADOPTED by Odin and being trapped with Hela where for anyone else is ok but Hela is Loki's daughter. Loki's done pretty sick things but I doubt anything would happen between them.

[spider-neil]

talking about thor's helmet (and other heroes head gear in general) its slightly annoying that the human side of the alter ego spends a significant amount of time on the screen and the little time the hero spends on the screen the director is using every oppertunity to unmask the character.
judge dredd takes off his helmet in the first five minutes for pete's sake.

The pic of the throneroom makes Odin seat look like a sword. But it's actually 2 chamber doors behind the throne. Forced perspective

[TheCorpulent1]

Yep, they have. One of them had a pretty significant bunch of appearances early in Dan Jurgens' run, although you'd be hard-pressed to recognize him. ;)

Part of why some of these early shots look kind of jarring is because everything is so darned clean and tidy looking. Once we see Thor in battle though, hopefully that all changes.
But they're not from the future, they're gods. Gods don't need to look dirty or like they're wearing used, worn clothes or anything. They need to be bright and shiny and full of splendor. I doubt we'll be seeing any of the gods in particularly dirty clothing throughout the film.

[Surfer]

In the photo with Odin in the Throne Room it appears that Odin is wearing a somewhat bright gold Tunic / Skirt, but in the High Def Picture of Odin talking with Thor I do not see the bright gold Tunic / Skirt. Now perhaps it is just the lighting that makes it appear different and I am not complaining as I like both pictures immensely, but I am just wondering if anyone thinks he might be wearing two different bottom halfs to his costume in those two pictures. Like maybe he has his formal clothing and then he has his every day clothes. Any thoughts?

[superkong 500]

The complete thor odin pic from EW looks amazing. This made my day Iam sold on the suit. The sclaemail looks great like real metal. and the raised cape above the shoulders looks majestic. This is thor! Oding looks great aswell. Hopefully we get a great story too. My only worry is the running time I hope is atleast 130 minutes long if not more.

[Spider-Fan83]

The Ravens are Huinn and Muninn

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huginn_and_Muninn

yes, they are part of Norse mythology... but, have they ever been part of the marvel mythology...?

[afan]

Just a pointless question....but do you suppose that photo of Thor and Odin represents the relative heights of the characters?....or is Odin simply standing on a raised platform?

[TheCorpulent1]

Raised platform. Otherwise, those lifts Hopkins is wearing are gonna look ridiculous whether they're hidden by his skirt or not. :o

I think 2 hours is a good time. Too much longer than that and it becomes self-indulgent, like Return of the King and its fifty million endings.
yes, they are part of Norse mythology... but, have they ever been part of the marvel mythology...?
Yes. They've appeared in many comics.

Thanks MarvelFreshman for the high quality photo.

Also, perched atop Odin's throne are his ravens Hugin and Munin.

Marvel spells the characters minus the second "n" - at least according to the following Marvel release.

Ah.

I was just wondering, because, among a bunch of armored people, it looks really really random.

yes, they are part of Norse mythology... but, have they ever been part of the marvel mythology...?
Yes they are a part of Marvel's Myth. The most recent appearance in the new run issues 7&8.

All right, I don't mind the minor nitpicks about Hogun's costume anymore. Why? They got the knives on his forearms! That's like the quintessential Hogun "thing." :hehe:

[Aesop Rocks]

Loki looks goddamn great.

[TheCorpulent1]

Fandral looks pretty awesome as well. I think Fandral's armor may actually be the best-looking armor in that pic, in fact.

[Compi716]

In Thor's left hand: THE HELMET. In his right: THE HAMMER. How awesome is that?

Loving Odin's Helmet and Gungnir.
The Helmet has what looks like wings coming off the jaw sweeping back and up with Horns coming off the forehead.
The spear is very close to the Comic, not as huge tho.

Thor: The Video Game Launches Marvel Icon in his First Standalone Game Adventure
with Massive Action, Stirring Graphics, and an Original Story

SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON – July 20, 2010 – “By Odin’s beard!” SEGA® Europe Ltd. and SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced they will bring Marvel’s hall-of-fame franchise Thor™ to video game systems for an epic third-person adventure: Thor: The Video Game, scheduled for release on all five major video game platforms in 2011 including the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, PSP® (PlayStation® Portable) system, Wii™ and Nintendo DS™.

“We are proud to be bringing Marvel’s Thor to his first solo video game adventure,” commented Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing at SEGA Europe and SEGA America. “Thor: The Video Game will finally bring the immense power of this iconic hero to lifelong fans, and introduce the God of Thunder to a whole new audience as a true Marvel Super Hero.”

Thor: The Video Game will take players through a spectacular, epic-scale original third-person adventure for which Matt Fraction, the Eisner Award-winning writer and lead Thor comic book author served as story consultant. In the game, Thor battles through the numerous worlds of Norse mythology that span realms ranging from primal worlds of fire and ice to extraordinary planets inhabited by Frost Giants and Trolls to save Asgard, the capital city of the Norse Gods. Thor must overcome monstrous foes lifted from the pages of the comics including Ulik, Ymir, and Surtur, as well as other monstrous denizens. Players will wield the iconic Mjölnir, Thor’s legendary hammer, to fight enemies on an immense scale while controlling the elemental storm powers of lightning, thunder, and wind to vanquish enemies. As Thor earns Valor points through his exploits, players can acquire new abilities, powers, and weapon upgrades.

Each version of the game will be uniquely suited for its platform, with the PlayStation 3 system and Xbox 360 versions featuring cinematic, third-person action gameplay with melee combos, ranged hammer throws, tide-turning elemental powers, and an upgrade system to bolster Thor’s powers as gamers progress. Players will take on enemies up to four times as large as Thor, with multiple grappling points and a variety of strategies for taking them down: go toe-to-toe with a 25 foot tall, 12 ton Ice Trolls for a truly heart-pumping experience.

The Wii game will feature the same overarching storyline as the next-gen consoles, but will also present a different gaming experience by utilizing the Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ controllers to battle enemies and deliver Thor’s elemental powers. Thor for the Wii version will also be presented with a uniquely styled comic book look that it will share with the PSP system version, along with different cinematics, story elements, dialog, locations, and dedicated flight levels. Nintendo DS players will experience a 2D side-scrolling adventure with narrative and gameplay unique to the platform.

Brought to the Marvel Universe by the legendary Stan Lee and his brother Larry Lieber and penciled by noted artist Jack Kirby, Thor first appeared in Marvel Comics in 1962. Based on Norse mythology, the Marvel character of Thor became a comic book Super Hero both in his own right and as a member of the Avengers alongside comic book icons The Hulk™, Iron Man™, and Captain America™. Thor: The Video Game marks the character’s progression from mythology to comics to TV and film, and now to interactive entertainment in his first standalone appearance in a game.

SEGA has excited legions of Marvel fans by unveiling Thor: The Video Game for release on "all five major consoles" in summer 2011.

SEGA has then cast a shadow of doubt over the project by revealing it to be an accompaniment of the Thor film.

No one mention Iron Man.

Still, Thor may have some legs. Acclaimed writer Matt Fraction (!) is consulting on the story and drawing inspiration from the comic and not, apparently, the film.

You'll obviously be muscular man Thor [who doesn't have a beard -Ed] who wields his massive storm-controlling Mjolnir hammer into the face of any that stand in his way. You'll be able to upgrade your Thor as the game progresses.

The PS3 and Xbox 360 games will have the graphical clout, where as the Wii, DS and PSP games "will be presented in a comic book style".

No assets yet.

Sega confirmed today it will launch an "epic" Thor third-person adventure game in summer 2011 to coincide with the release of the Marvel Studios film. Writer Matt Fraction is serving as a story consultant.

According to the announcement, Thor: The Video Game "will delve deep into the heroic tales of the Thor universe," with players battling "an array of ancient enemies and beasts from the many worlds of Norse mythology by using different battle strategies and elemental powers." Mjolnir will allow gamers to command the powers of the storm. Thor is being developed for all five major console platforms.

Word of the video game leaked in September when notes from a meeting between representatives of Sega and Sony Computer Entertainment America were discovered on a Sega America FTP site.

See the full press release after the break:

The God of Thunder Strikes! Thor: The Video Game Coming 2011

LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (July 20th, 2010) – SEGA® Europe Ltd. and SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced they will bring Marvel Entertainment Inc.’s hall-of-fame franchise Thor™ to video game systems in an epic third-person adventure game. Thor: The Video Game™ is scheduled for release on all five major console platforms in summer 2011.

Thor: The Video Game will delve deep into the heroic tales of the Thor universe. Eisner Award-winning writer and lead Thor comic book author Matt Fraction brings authenticity to the narrative as a story consultant, and elevates the story beyond the comic and movie universe throughout the video game. Players will take on an array of ancient enemies and beasts from the many worlds of Norse mythology by using different battle strategies and elemental powers. The sacred Mjolnir, Thor’s legendary hammer, will allow players to command the powers of the storm: wind, thunder and lightning. By earning Valor in combat throughout the game, players will also be able to select from a wider range of abilities, acquire new attacks, powers and upgrades.

“We are proud to be bringing Thor to his first solo video game adventure” commented Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing at SEGA Europe and SEGA America. “Thor: The Video Game will finally bring the immense power of this iconic hero to lifelong fans, and introduce the God of Thunder to a whole new audience as a true Marvel Super Hero.”

Each version of the game is being developed to take advantage of all five console platforms. The PLAYSTATION®3 and Xbox 360® version will feature cinematic, third-person action gameplay with melee combos, ranged hammer throws, tide-turning elemental powers and an upgrade system to bolster Thor’s powers as gamers progress. Players will be able to follow the same overarching story in the PSP™, Nintendo Wii™ and DS™ versions presented in a comic book style, allowing fans to explore new content in the same universe.

While taking its inspiration directly from the mythology of the comics, Thor: The Video Game will launch around the time of the upcoming Thor film adaptation from Marvel Studios.

Brought to the Marvel Universe by the legendary Stan Lee and his brother Larry Lieber, and penciled by noted artist Jack Kirby, Thor first appeared in Marvel Comics in 1962. Based on Norse mythology, the Marvel character of Thor became a comic book Super Hero both in his own right and as a member of the Avengers alongside comic book icons The Hulk™, Iron Man™ and Captain America™. Thor: The Video Game marks the character’s progression from mythology to comics, TV, then film and now to interactive entertainment in his first standalone appearance in a videogame.

[SpiderByte]

Well, the promotional run has officially begun.

We'll be seeing trailers, posters, clips....it's all coming together, at last.

[spider-neil]

In Thor's left hand: THE HELMET. In his right: THE HAMMER. How awesome is that?

yeah, the bulge on thor's left arm does suggest he is holding something, fingers crossed it's his helmet (fnar fnar)

[spider-neil]

the disappointing thing is the animated movie of thor wont be based on an adult thor but thor as a child. what a wasted oppertunity especially with the movie around the corner. at least the animated series is based on the adult thor.

[TheCorpulent1]

How is that automatically a disappointment? It's about Thor as a young man earning the right to wield Mjolnir, based on a really great series called Son of Asgard. I don't have much hope that the people involved are going to do that series justice, but the premise as a whole is not cause for disappointment.

if we'd already had a animated movie with an adult thor and they wanted to go in a different direction then fine but the first incarnation of thor on the small screen (since the 60's cartoon) and its thor as a kid, at least to me is disappointing.

so far we've had
doctor strange
the ulitmate avengers
iron man
hulk vs
planet hulk

would have been nice to have a thor movie where thor is an adult fighting a major villian, anyway I will still pick up the blu ray so they'll get my money regardless.

[TheCorpulent1]

But we get a live-action Thor movie with Thor as an adult right around the same time. Works out fine to me.

[Raiden]

I love all the new images released just before the Comic Con, although I'd love to see how Thor's helmet would look like. Maybe they are saving it for the trailer (which could debut in Comic Con).

[Bren]

Going by their recent (most recent!) photo's, I'm sure it's going to look awesome!

Could be, or he can change his helmet throughout the movie. In Kirby/Lee's Thor they've done this things a lot (especially Odin - changed his helmets from one issue to another)

I can't wait to see Thor and Loki engaged in battle.

Marvel Comics has released a look at the promotional posters for "Thor" and "Captain America: The First Avenger" that the publisher will be giving away this week at Comic-Con International. The posters, based on production art from the movies, will be available to attendees who stop by the Marvel Booth (#2329)

Thor (In Theaters, May 6, 2011)

Directed by Kenneth Branagh, the epic adventure "Thor" spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.

The screenplay for "Thor" was penned by Mark Protosevich as well as Ashley Miller & Zack Stentz, and Don Payne. Marvel Studios' President Kevin Feige will produce the film. Alan Fine, Stan Lee, David Maisel, and Marvel Studio's Co-President, Louis D'Esposito, will executive produce.

Captain America: The First Avenger (In Theaters, July 22, 2011)

"Captain America: The First Avenger" will focus on the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns him into the Super Soldier known as Captain America.

Directed by Joe Johnston and written by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely, "Captain America: The First Avenger" is based on characters developed by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon. The film will be produced by Marvel Studios' President Kevin Feige. Executive Producers on the project are Louis D'Esposito, Stan Lee and Marvel Studios' Chairman David Maisel. Paramount Pictures will distribute "Captain America: The First Avenger" worldwide.

[Spider-ManHero12]

As I said in Thor's costume thread those 3 new pictures rock! Thor's outfit looks amazing, depsite what some people say, IMO. Bring on Comic Con! :up:

[The_Mighty_Thor]

I like that concept art but it kinda looks like they stuck horns and a ponytail on magneto's helmet.:hehe:

[SpiderByte]

Cap's looking iffy, but Thor's just looking great. I can't think of one bad thing about it. Even the radical fanboys sharks are satisfied with Loki's horns.

they should show it, if for no other reason than to shut people up (if the helmet even exists).

[Ipodman]

OMFG! NO HELMET!!!

This is going to be a joke among comic book fans for years to come.

judge dredd takes off his helmet in the first few minutes and decades later fans are still pissed off. its a big deal. I can almost GUARANTEE thor mortal alter ego will be on screen for 3/4 of the movie so would it really 'THAT' much trouble to have thor wear a helmet for that miserly 1/4?

Wow, Hemsworth looks absolutely amazing!!

To think that there were those who were concerned about his size. lol.

[Angamb]

Great pic!!

Im starting to dont want to see more pics to be spoiled! lol

What do you mean?

But that last picture is just ****ing awesome.

[Original Spawn]

Oh yeah it is.

[Aesop Rocks]

I can't wait for Corpulant1 to go into a Thor-induced coma. :oldrazz:

Goddamn, Hemsworth is straight diesel in that pic. I saw him before he was cast and he was a big dude, but not real muscular looking. That **** pays off, man.

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

Hemsworth=Thor!!

[Weadazoid]

Seriously I just posted this in the pics thread.


If he is this jacked for the Avengers or perhaps even more so, he should drop the chain mail and go bare armed.


Dude has guns.... SERIOUS guns


Or I had another idea a while back...that he sacrifices his enchated chain mail and lets Stark encorporate the metal in Caps new Shield.

[Aesop Rocks]

He'll most likely be jacked for The Avengers, Hemsworth said himself that he'll stay that big.

[Weadazoid]

He'll most likely be jacked for The Avengers, Hemsworth said himself that he'll stay that big.


If he keeps in training he may actually get bigger.


Seriously since Adamatium is a property of Fox how great would it be if THor sacrifced the chain mail.... Toeny Makes a mold for the shield and Thor uses his Directed lightning to melts the mail down into a new shield for Cap....

It would be a sequence that would only take a few moments and give Cap a trully indestructible sheild.

[Legion_997]

They weren't kidding in those interviews about Hemsworth working out and looking right for the part. His arms are massive.

The hammer and the mud, more like it. ;)
I can't wait for Corpulant1 to go into a Thor-induced coma. :oldrazz:
I have mini-comas. They pass quickly and I return to my natural state of being only slightly more excited about this movie than I ever have been for anything else. :awesome:
That pic of Thor and the hammer in the stone is awe inspiring!

Wonder is the water from a broken sprinkler system?....or could it be ........the result of the God of Thunder's re-birth???!!
Probably a sprinkler system. Unless lighting came down and tore through that nylon enclosure they put up around Mjolnir before that pic was taken. Or maybe it was just raining outside because Thor was getting closer to Mjolnir and he tracked all of that mud and water inside like a seriously impolite houseguest. :)

[Dark Raven]

Seriously I just posted this in the pics thread.

Exactly. It will give him a more rough and ready look too, and make him look tougher.

[Bad Superman]

they should show it, if for no other reason than to shut people up (if the helmet even exists).

While the Thor pics look really amazing, i'm really starting to doubt there's going to be a helmet. I wonder what's next? Spiderman gets a lucha libre styled mask to make it "more realistic"?

[Rock Sexton]

Wow, Hemsworth looks absolutely amazing!!

To think that there were those who were concerned about his size. lol.

Uhhhhh that's Evans people are worried about, not Hemsworth.

[NickNitro]

I almost peed myself at work when I saw Hemsworth pulling the hammer out of the clay....Ive said it from the beginning. This Marvel films going to be the sleeper next year. I think its gonna blow everything out of the water.

Anyone notice Cap's ears?

[TheCorpulent1]

I didn't. I was sidetracked by Cap's gun. I get that it's WWII and all, but having grown up with the shield-only Cap reintroduced in the '60s, I still just don't like seeing him with a gun.

[Rock Sexton]

I didn't. I was sidetracked by Cap's gun. I get that it's WWII and all, but having grown up with the shield-only Cap reintroduced in the '60s, I still just don't like seeing him with a gun.

Well I remember the big argument about how his head came off like a blue dildo. They had those grey things over them in the last illustration we saw. I think they had 2 options, let his ears out or put wings on there ....

[starscream]

Does anyone know if will get any footage this weekend ?

[misjuevos]

I'm just wondering about the Thor pic pulling mjolnir out of the dirt. Can't he just lift it with one hand and no effort. Looks like he is tense. Maybe he did something unworthy. Or this is him after gaining his worth to be able to use mjolnir again. Maybe Odin took mjolnir away and put the inscribtion on after thors banishment and he will spend the rest of the movie proving his worth. I hope he spends more time with mjolnir than without. Can't wait for Thor. Gonna be epic.

[TheCorpulent1]

I think that's the climactic moment when human-Thor finds the hammer and recovers his godly powers, so presumably they're playing up the big moment for more drama.

[misjuevos]

Sounds cool. Guess this explains hemsworth saying it was hard to move in the suit. He is huge.

[the dmg]

I didn't. I was sidetracked by Cap's gun. I get that it's WWII and all, but having grown up with the shield-only Cap reintroduced in the '60s, I still just don't like seeing him with a gun.
Cap shouldn't use a gun, IMO. I'm with you there.

Agreed.

[TheCorpulent1]

Sounds cool. Guess this explains hemsworth saying it was hard to move in the suit. He is huge.
The suit looks a bit uncomfortable on top of that. It looks good to us, but it also looks really heavy. I can't imagine it's fun to be stuck in that for hours on end, especially in New Mexico just around the turn from spring to summer.

[misjuevos]

I thought the point was that cap was so goddamn good with the shield it was all he needed.

[TheCorpulent1]

That's how I always pictured him, but there are indeed plenty of wartime comics that feature Cap with a gun. It's not wrong for the character or anything, I just personally don't like to see it.

[misjuevos]

Read on /film mjolnir doesn't deem him worthy yet. Maybe Loki is attacking the base looking for mjolnir. Thor is trying to get mjolnir but not worthy, so Thor tries to protect Jane or people without his power and is injured saving them. probably thrown to the side. Then when Loki turns back to Jane or people Thor makes his way back to mjolnir and all of a sudden Thor is worthy. Big lightning strike comes down and behold Thor god of thunder. It does seem very cliche I know.

[Doctor Jones]

Awesome pic! Holy **** Hemsworth is jacked a all hell. No one can complain about that picture. I mean his arms were the first thing I saw.

[Surfer]

Yeah, I know this is not perhaps the right forum for it, but I'm not sure I like Cap with a gun. I think of his shield as being not only defensive, but offensive in use. Also, there is the moral side to it. Captain America is suppose to be better then Killing people, and while a gun does not necessarilly mean death to someone being shot, it certainly is viewed in the general publics eye as being used for the intention of killing. I think of Captain America as being Honorable and Courageous. I also think he does not take the easy path if he feels going the hard route means doing the right thing. Oh, and Thor is looking sweet!

If he keeps in training he may actually get bigger.


Seriously since Adamatium is a property of Fox how great would it be if THor sacrifced the chain mail.... Toeny Makes a mold for the shield and Thor uses his Directed lightning to melts the mail down into a new shield for Cap....

It would be a sequence that would only take a few moments and give Cap a trully indestructible sheild.

Vibranium's not owned by Fox though.

Uhhhhh that's Evans people are worried about, not Hemsworth.

Oh, there were a few people on here complaining that Thor shouldve been HHH, another wrestler or body-builder as no actor would be able to do justice to the character's size. :whatever:

I wonder how many of 'em are hiding about now?

As for the Evans/Cap size thing, I really dont get the criticism's that I sometimes read on the Cap threads. Evans is normally in excellent shape anyways and on top of that he has confirmed that he'll be working out for the role.

Sure, I know Cap's been drawn like a brick ****house from time to time, but I've never equated the 'peak of human perfection' to necessarilly mean having big muscles - for me, it's all about the quality of the muscle, and Chris Evans has lean muscle mass in spades.

Read on /film mjolnir doesn't deem him worthy yet. Maybe Loki is attacking the base looking for mjolnir. Thor is trying to get mjolnir but not worthy, so Thor tries to protect Jane or people without his power and is injured saving them. probably thrown to the side. Then when Loki turns back to Jane or people Thor makes his way back to mjolnir and all of a sudden Thor is worthy. Big lightning strike comes down and behold Thor god of thunder. It does seem very cliche I know.
Hmm. Makes sense, I guess, but I don't know how much I'll like the image of Thor attempting and failing to lift Mjolnir. Oh well, that's pretty minor.

[Surfer]

I was thinking the same thing, Vibranium would be the way to go. It also might be an opportunity to refer to Black Panthers homeland, which fans would probably appreciate.

It's a shame that adamantium can't be mentioned, though. It would've been a nice little cinematic raspberry to all the Wolverine fanboys out there if they explained how adamantium is actually a failed attempt at recreating the vastly superior metal of Cap's shield. :hehe:

[ddddeeee]

I figured Thor tries to lift Mjolnir early into his banishment but can't do it because he's still cocky. Then sometime later after he's learned humility and the Destroyer attacks he is able to lift it.

I bet SHield Tried to lift it with a super crane and got it to come up but not seperate from the ground before the boom on the crane snapped in two under the weight of the mighty Mijorin

[TheCorpulent1]

I hope we see something like that. I want them to really impress upon the audience that the only way to lift Mjolnir is if you're worthy. :up:

[Optimus_Prime_]

damn his arms are MASSIVE...
Yeah, when did this happen???:wow:

I swear about two or three months ago I looked him up and he wasn't near that size. Either way, I don't care whether he ate Steroid-i-O's for breakfast, dude looks jacked. I hope he continues to get bigger for Avengers, cause he look amazing.

yeah I mean I bet you have the end of Iron Man two and then SHield comes in makes the whole area of an off limits site... maybe they say the site is contaminated by radiation to throw out the public and the press.


They tent, or dome off the entire area and then start to go to work.


I see a crane or a crazy winch with chains trying to move the Hammer and failing... one Shiled gets a grip on the idea no man can move they will start in with machines.

Thats probably why it look raised.

That or they tried to BLAST it out... and that could be cool to.

[Surfer]

I don't think I would like this, but I am still throwing it out there. What if Shield figures out they can't lift Mjolnir, but that they can lift the ground underneath that holds Mjolnir, which is why they have all of the ground attached to it. My idea comes from something I had heard in one of these forums perhaps months ago, about Hulk battling Thor and that Hulk was not able to lift Mjolnir, but that he was able to lift Thor who was holding Mjolnir. Kind of a technicality of sorts. Any thoughts?

Surfer

[TheCorpulent1]

I say leave the technicalities out of it. Anyway, SHIELD sets that makeshift base up around Mjolnir for a reason, so I doubt they figure out a way to move it.

[Whiskey Tango]

I figured they just dug out the ground around it so guys wouldn't have to stoop uncomfortably while running tests.

[TheCorpulent1]

That'd make sense. Although, now I really like that idea of SHIELD trying to blast it out of the ground. :hehe:

[Surfer]

I feel stupid, but yeah building around it would be the obvious solution as opposed to moving it to a location. Also, when I looked at the picture another time it appears that you are right that they did not move it from it's original location. I was not a fan of the technicallity anyways, as I thought that it would come across really poorly and cheesy, but just pointing it out.

Wait- back on adamantium. Who says they can't mention it? Adamantium is mentioned in lots of fiction- Fallout 3, Lost in Space, Toy Story, Samurai Jack, Ratchet & Clank, just to name a few. According to Wikipedia it isn't a trademarked name.

Yeah, I was going to link to that but got sidetracked. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adamantium#In_other_media

The name adamantium has been used by other writers, game designers and publishing companies to describe similar substances, since adamantium isn't a trademarked property.

Yeah, they definitely build a temporary base around it. Look at its surroundings in that pic: flimsy nylon connected by plastic. Looks like a giant version of those tents that campers use now, specifically designed to be quick and easy to set up.
