The Official Thor News and Set Pics Thread

[Figs]

The guys on /Film said that Hemsworth gave a one-note performance. :csad:


Hahaha! All from an extended trailer? Maybe they should wait to see the actual film.

[Project862006]

i dont think any of them know Thor

he is not Tony Stark

[Aesop Rocks]

True. They also said that they really had no room to judge the footage though.

[paulogonza]

well aparentlly we have to wait a long time until an official trailer coming to judge for ourselves. i look for all internet and no one have the footages of thor or captain america, the security this time wins

[TheCorpulent1]

True. They also said that they really had no room to judge the footage though.
... and then proceeded to anyway?

[Aesop Rocks]

Corp. :csad:

[Kane52630]

so what happened to The Avatar? did he ever show the trailer?

[Karelia]

People are already judging Chris Hemsworth acting through a trailer?...Wow, that's really sad. I saw the trailer and didn't think it was one-note. The trailer is epic, had goosebumps most of the time! :D

[al35077]

[Vartha]

That's GREAT hahaha Gald to see Chris having fun with e fans!

[Scarecrow_King]

maybe that "one note" they were talking about was ass-kicking. if that's the only note he utilizes, I think I'd be okay with it.

[Spider-ManHero12]

The guys on /Film said that Hemsworth gave a one-note performance. :csad:
Well I personally don't listen to any Critics for one, and two how did it sound to YOU AP? That's all that matters in the end.
If YOU like it, don't bother with what others say. There are few places I'd go to ask people what THEY thought, the HYPE is one.

lol I was SO GEEKED over what I saw that I'd COMPLETELY forgot to try to get Screen Captures the trailer. lol :doh::doh::doh:

[Chewy]

The guys on /Film said that Hemsworth gave a one-note performance. :csad:
Based on five minutes of footage and maybe ten lines from Hemsworth.

Haters gonna hate.

[TheCorpulent1]

If only we could get a picture of Hemsworth in that pose. :D

[al35077]

AWW you trust us. I fell so warm and fuzzy:woot:

[Aesop Rocks]

I agree. I never said I agree with them. I'm waiting to see the movie. :o

[TheCorpulent1]

Are you? Or is the movie waiting to see you? :ninja:

[Aesop Rocks]

Dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[SpiderByte]

If only we could get a picture of Hemsworth in that pose. :D

....

Redundancy?

[Vartha]

AWW you trust us. I fell so warm and fuzzy:woot:

Well I trust the FANS over a critic. Put it THIS way, WAY back to Fantastic four there were maybe 3 PROFESSIONAL Critics say FF was COPYING Incredibles......there is NO WAY that ANY of them did ANY research.

[SpiderByte]

Are you? Or is the movie waiting to see you? :ninja:

In Soviet Russia, film watch YOU!

[TheCorpulent1]

Well I trust the FANS over a critic. Put it THIS way, WAY back to Fantastic four there were maybe 3 PROFESSIONAL Critics say FF was COPYING Incredibles......there is NO WAY that ANY of them did ANY research.
Haha, professional critics said that? Awesome, that just reaffirms my disdain for them as people who get paid to have opinions.

[Son of Coul]

Critics are butts.

[Raiden]

Well I trust the FANS over a critic. Put it THIS way, WAY back to Fantastic four there were maybe 3 PROFESSIONAL Critics say FF was COPYING Incredibles......there is NO WAY that ANY of them did ANY research.

Well, Disney knows who was copying who, that's why they decided to buy Marvel so this debate can stop once & for all. :cwink:

[smooth3006]

i honestly cannot believe we get to see the panels but not the trailers or teasers at all. if i were marvel i would be releasing this footage soon to promote hype. i sure don't want to have to wait until xmas to see anything. cap & thor have to do well if we want the avengers to ever happen. if it's like the hulk, our chances are null & void.

[Spade]

I really wish that film criticism would go back to its early days, when critics modeled their essays after literary criticism and did research. Now, all you get is three paragraghs that amount to the opening snarky comment, an IMDb summary, and the closing snarky comment.

Most films have two years of production, can have up to five or ten in pre-production, and spend from half of to a full year in post. If you're going to try and sway the public on where they should spend their earnings, spend more than five minutes on your attempt.

[Whiskey Tango]

I really wish that film criticism would go back to its early days, when critics modeled their essays after literary criticism and did research.

That would require them to do actual work.

[Sawyer]

Well I trust the FANS over a critic. Put it THIS way, WAY back to Fantastic four there were maybe 3 PROFESSIONAL Critics say FF was COPYING Incredibles......there is NO WAY that ANY of them did ANY research.

That is pretty bad..... but we all know which was a better Fantastic Four movie and it sure wasnt the one titled Fantastic Four. :o

[al35077]

And lets face it how long has it been since rich people had to do anything to keep raking in the cash

[Avengers-Report]

I had every intention of recording the trailer and taking pictures but I seriously was in awe of Thor's awesomeness that I forgot. And they showed the trailer twice!

[Excelsior.]

Well I trust the FANS over a critic. Put it THIS way, WAY back to Fantastic four there were maybe 3 PROFESSIONAL Critics say FF was COPYING Incredibles......there is NO WAY that ANY of them did ANY research.

Yes. If F4 copied the Incredibles, it might've been halfway decent.

[superkong 500]

There's a link to download the trailer but I can't get the damn survey.

[al35077]

There's a link to download the trailer but I can't get the damn survey.
Be careful with stuff like that. It's usually a scam

[superkong 500]

Be careful with stuff like that. It's usually a scam

Apparently two persons have already seen it. But yea it could be. Its a link from someone who posted the audio trailer on youtube saying that the video was in the link in the description, it then takes you to this site with a link for the download.

[al35077]

has anyone tried to find the trailer of a file-sharing site?

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I'm gonna guess that's a scam. Usually people who actually have the trailer aren't going to make you jump through hoops like filling out surveys to get it.

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Yes. If F4 copied the Incredibles, it might've been halfway decent.

I hear that :up:

[al35077]

I know this is off-topic but i wanted to ask goblin if your avy is christain bale as Grand Admiral Thrawn?

[Son of Coul]

Apparently two persons have already seen it. But yea it could be. Its a link from someone who posted the audio trailer on youtube saying that the video was in the link in the description, it then takes you to this site with a link for the download.
Tried it, that one leads to a fanedit. Don't bother.

[GoblinWhirlwind]

I know this is off-topic but i wanted to ask goblin if your avy is christain bale as Grand Admiral Thrawn?

Yeah, that's him. Good eye :up:

[Sebastos]

Any news on the footage?

http://www.**************.com/images/users/uploads/14663/Hemsworth%20holding%20Mjolnir.JPG

That's awesome. :awesome:

[TheCorpulent1]

Only if you count "no one has it still" as news.

[Spideyfan93]

I need my own copy of the Mjolnir now! Can't wait until the merchandise comes out...I will be one of the first to buy the mighty hammer!
And looking at that picture makes me think Chris would be struck by lightning immediately after. lol

[Sebastos]

Only if you count "no one has it still" as news.

Then the waiting continues!

[al35077]

Waiting SUCKS!! lol

[cosmicherosa]

The idea of waiting for something makes it more exciting. - Andy Warhol

I'll be seein this footage when I sees it, I reckon. /spittoon - me

[JP]

I watched the live feed like a few others, shocked not one sole (out of hundreds) recorded it.

Then again, I was too busy pooping my pants, and they probably were too.

[Maximillian]

I'll be seein this footage when I sees it, I reckon.
Good for you. I'd rather see it right now.

[Chewy]

Drew McWeeny's thoughts on the footage (http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/2008-12-6-motion-captured/posts/comic-con-avengers-assemble-and-captain-america-and-thor-give-first-looks)

Of note:
There were shots of pretty much every major character in the film including Colm Feore's Frost Giant characterThis is a guy who was invited to Thor's set, and I think this is the first confirmation we've gotten of Feore's role

[Sawyer]

Neeeeeeed fooooooootage!!!!!!!

[Vartha]

Haha, professional critics said that? Awesome, that just reaffirms my disdain for them as people who get paid to have opinions.
heh Ask Franklin Richards (the hype poster not the character) and Lightning Strykes lol

[Vartha]

Neeeeeeed fooooooootage!!!!!!!
....KNEEd footage? :huh:

[Sawyer]

:argh:

[Vartha]

I watched the live feed like a few others, shocked not one sole (out of hundreds) recorded it.

Then again, I was too busy pooping my pants, and they probably were too.
I was SO GEEKED out it completely slipped my mind to do Screen captures! :doh::doh::doh:

[S.A.A.D.]

Sureeeee ya did. This is the most pathetic display of taking one for the team that I have ever known on this website,I mean this Thor footage that people can seemingly see,but whom conveniently forget to take a screen shot of or something when it comes to this. I mean all of this in general. Kenneth,like Johnston could have at least told us when to expect an actual god damn Thor trailer,but nope. :cmad::whatever:

This is something that can be beneficial too,one knowing when the actual trailer for Thor will come,so that way
they can spread it to those who don't know,which can build more excitement and anticipation for the Thor movie.

[echostation]

yeah it really is a mega fail when people couldn't even be bothered at least capturing it if they had the clear opportunity to

this whole in the moment ******** is just preposterous garbage...

[Vartha]

I can't VIDEO capture but I can make pics.
I was TRULY that enthralled with the Footage. I've spent hours looking for that danged vid too lol

[BizarroAids]

So why did Marvel release the (after the credits Iron Man 2) stuff and say it's the "first teaser" but we can't see the actual trailer....??:huh:

[Manowar]

So did the Trailer show Frost giants and how did they look?

[Microchip]

If you go back historically they never release this stuff. Iron Man 1, Iron Man 2, even Wolverine. All these films showed a first trailer at Comic Con, none of them ever released said trailer.

Iron Man 2 - first trailer, December 16, 2009.
If Thor is similar, then that is when we should expect the first trailer. HOWEVER, Thor didn't have Captain America following it, a movie that is also expected to show a December trailer. I'd say that'd bump the Thor trailer to November or October.

[ddddeeee]

I think Thor's marketing would be more comparable with that of the first Iron Man. When did it get it's first trailer officially released?

[SpiderByte]

http://www.**************.com/fansites/Wolvie09/news/?a=20703

Another new interview.

[Vartha]

So did the Trailer show Frost giants and how did they look?
There were a flash of images I really couldn't tell what they were, because the Live feed camera for Comic con was so far back. There was ONE FLASH of an image I SWEAR LOOKED like Surtur's HEAD but it could have been Odin as well, because soon after you hear the "I'm the new King of Asgard"
Honestly I didn't see a solid image of a Frost Giant.

Here's the description Manowar

. The trailer starts by revealing a heavily guarded SHIELD facility in New Mexico.

. Cut to agent Phil Coulson interrogating Thor, tied to a chair, in a room with glass walls. Thor is dirty and looks beaten.

. The interrogatory is intercut with scenes of Thor fighting SHIELD agents in and out of the facility.

. Coulson tells Thor that he has just beaten men with the best military training available, and that only a man with similar training would be able to accomplish that.

. Coulson asks Thor where has come from. "Afeganistan?", "Iraq, maybe?".

. Thor just looks at him angrily.

. Cut to Asgard. It looks very futuristic, golden and shiny.

. We hear Odin's speech about responsability and the rise of new generation.

. Intercut with the speech, we see Thor, Loki, Sif, Volstagg, Fandral, Hogun, Heimdall, Frigga and the Aesir.

. Something happens.

. Thor and Odin argue. Odin calls Thor "a vain and petty boy". Thor responds by calling Odin an "old fool".

. Odin becomes furious and says he was a fool to think Thor was worthy.

. Odin casts Thor away. We see the Aesir ripping his armor off as Odin says he shall no longer be immortal, followed by a streak of light.

. Cut to Thor being found by Jane Foster in the desert. He has Earth clothes on. She asks him if he's OK. He answers by saying: "Oh, no. This is Earth, isn't it?" in an annoyed way.

. Jane asks where Thor has come from. He says: "What your ancestors called magic... And you call science... From where I come from, are one and the same".

. Jane takes Thor to a science building, where we meet Stellan Skarsgaard's and Kat Dennings' characters.

. Cut to next morning. Thor appears shirtless and Dennings says that, "for a homeless bumb, he is in perfect shape".


. Brief scenes.


. Thor, dirty and beaten, comes face to face with his hammer in the SHIELD facility. He attempts to lift it, but fails. We then hear Odin voice-over: "Whoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor".

. Cut to Asgard. Loki holds his father's spear and says: "I'm the new king of Asgard".

. Sif, Volstagg, Fandral and Hogun not very happily bow before him.

. Action scenes, both on Earth and in Asgard, including Thor and Sif fighting the Aesir; Heimdall kicking ass and Thor hitting an enemy in the face with his hammer.

. Cut to Loki facing Thor in Odin's throne room. Loki shows Odin's spear as a sign of superiority. Thor swings his hammer and throws at the screen in full force.

. "Thor".

. Cut to the Destroyer landing in the desert. Agent Coulson and several SHIELD agents approach it and wonder if it's on their side. The Destroyer answers them by shooting a beam of energy from his helmet that blows their cars up loudly.

>"2011".

[SpiderByte]

Now that I think about it, the Destroyer was probably what destroyed the 7-11 we saw in the ET footage.

[Hunter Rider]

Are Frost Giants confirmed to be in the movie?

[RealIrOnMaN]

Are Frost Giants confirmed to be in the movie?
Yes. Tom Hiddleston said in the interview, that Loki's origin and Frost Giants are connected (just like in the comics, 'cause Loki is the son of Frost Giant). And we are going to see the explanation behind Loki's past.

[Vartha]

Yeah the ONLY Frost Giant I saw come out of SDCC was an action figure from the comics, (posted images in the Thor world threads, there was Goliath and Clor too)
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c331/Vartha1/Thor/movie%20images/toys/IMG_8747.jpg

[Vartha]

Yes. Tom Hiddleston said in the interview, that Loki's origin and Frost Giants are connected (just like in the comics, 'cause Loki is the son of Frost Giant). And we are going to see the explanation behind Loki's past.
yes, There's part of the movie where Loki learns of his Frost Giant lineage, the FIRST draft had them Approach Loki early on not sure how he finds out in the 2nd draft

[TheCorpulent1]

Now that I think about it, the Destroyer was probably what destroyed the 7-11 we saw in the ET footage.
Unless Thor falls on it when he's banished or something. That would be funny.

[Manowar]

There was a review from someone who saw the trailer live that said there was footage of Colm Feore as a Frost Giant. Did anybody who saw the live trailer see this aswell?

[Vartha]

Like I said I didn't to be honest the Live feed wasn't very good but good enough to see some details and action.

[piccolo]

I'm picturing the first shot in Thor starting with him walking through a frozen tundra with snow and wind whipping around him, and encountering a group of frost giants. He kills them and defaces their bodies, igniting a war when one of them is found to be part of the ruling family.

At least, thats what i'm hoping.

[Vartha]

I know in the MTV interviews Hiddleston describes his favorite part was Jotunheim land of the Frost Giants,remember the chunk of Ice, the set piece? THAT was for the Frost Giant Set.

[SpiderByte]

Unless Thor falls on it when he's banished or something. That would be funny.

Nah, it wouldn't explode in a fireball just from a falling object. Laser beams shooting out of someone's face? Yes.

[S.A.A.D.]

Can someone tell me how many different landscapes are in Thor based on the footage? From Asgard that is,I'm hoping to see all of the scenery that is in the Thor video game pics that got posted.

[TheCorpulent1]

Nah, it wouldn't explode in a fireball just from a falling object. Laser beams shooting out of someone's face? Yes.
You forget that this is the movies. Cars don't really explode if they run into things, either. ;)

[RealIrOnMaN]

Big and interesting interview with Chris Hemsworth (Thor):

1) Feeling the pressure playing Thor, Chris?

Chris: "There’s a lot of pressure with something that has existed for so many years. You try not to let it affect the way you approach the film. For me, you do it as well as you can whatever it is, whether it’s a small film or whether it’s something like this here. But yeah, it's both exciting and daunting."

2) Now the relationship between Thor and Jane in the movie. Is it important in this first film?

Chris: "There's a bit of it in this one. It’s a big sort of breaking point in Thor’s journey, learning some humility. He starts out as a brash, cocky young warrior and she certainly influences him to go in a different direction."

3) Do you balance Thor's hubris with his heroism?

Chris: "I think so. I think it’s his ongoing battle, taming the berserk kind of warrior that is in him. Certainly that’s a big part in this film, he’s still got to be that warrior. He still has to have those elements. That’s what makes him Thor but also, you don’t want to watch a guy on screen that is just a jerk all the time. It's all about finding that balance."

4) Are your mates back home treating you differently now? What about your brother Liam? Is he trying to get you to score him a role as an Asgardian in the film?

Chris: "Ha. Nah, I had enough trouble getting myself a part, let alone trying to help Liam. We both auditioned for the role of Thor funny enough. I had an audition, didn’t hear anything, then he was in Australia and sent a tape across. The next minute I heard they were flying him over to meet Ken and he was down to the last four guys, and I was like, “What?” He went in, did a great job and it didn’t end up happening. Then I got another phone call and was like, “****, what worked, what didn’t? Tell me what he said.” I got some advice and here we are."

5) What was it like working with Kenneth Branagh?

Chris: "Brilliant. It was the most amount of character development and discussions on scenes and backstory that I’ve ever had. We talked for hours about books and all that sort of stuff. That’s part of the fun for me, that research and speaking to as many people as you can and soaking up that stuff. Ken gave me Siddhartha, actually a Herman Hesse book about a man trying to find his place in life and going through all the temptations. Thor in effect was different to Siddhartha but it was a human being trying to find out his purpose and how he was going to go about his life. That was the same thing. It's certainly one of my favourite books."

6) What training did you do for the role?

Chris: "I had to drink a lot of protein shakes and eat a lot of chicken breast. There was an intaking of a lot of calories, a lot of food, a lot of working out and try to get as much rest as you can. That’s the other 1/3 of the equation. I put on 20 pounds and lost a lot of it since shooting purely from not eating that amount"

What about prosthetics?

Chris: "No fake arms. When it’s me, it’s me."

7) Do you have a favorite Thor story from your research?

Chris: "The stuff with The Avengers I really liked. There’s one particular one (Ultimates v1 #4) where they approach him and Thor’s sitting on a beach in a party or something. There’s fire and people sitting around playing guitar. Thor’s there drinking a beer and up walk out SHIELD and I think Iron Man (Bruce Banner actually). They’re like, “Supposedly you’re a god and we want you to join our team.” He’s like, “Psh, I’m not joining nothing.” I think one of them says something like, “I don’t believe he’s a god anyway.” Thor makes big rain and thunder and they scurry away. I enjoyed that moment."

8) Did you study any fighting techniques for Thor -stuff you could use with the hammer? What did you ultimately go with?

Chris: "A lot of different stuff because it really is a very impractical kind of weapon in a sense - big head, tiny little handle. We talked about boxing a lot actually. I’d done a lot of Muay Thai for years and Muay Thai is much more on your toes and legs involved. Boxing is more of a grounded sort of technique. We’d talk about Tyson, low to the ground and power through the legs. A lot of that I think influenced Thor and certainly big open shoulders, big shoulder movements. It becomes a very gritty kind of street fighting stuff at times and happens to have a big old hammer in his hand as well."

9) What’s the biggest challenge about starting a movie where the fans know so much of the backstory, and you still have to surprise them somehow?

Chris: "Its a challenge. You walk into something which has a pre-existing fan base. People are very passionate about it and know what they want to see. As far as how you bring the excitement or challenge, a lot of that, the script comes along. That’s not my department. For me it was reading as much as the comic books and things that inspired me."

10) Do you hope mainstream audiences discover the film?

Chris: "That's another challenge. You’ve got to look after the fans, but you've got to make the film appealing to audiences outside of the fan base too. You can't think about it too much though. You sort of simplify it and just do the best you can and respectful of what already exists, take it to where you’re trying to go with it."

11) Have you accidentally let slip any secrets about the film yet?

Chris: "No, but I think some photos leaked at one point. I was just hoping they weren't my photos. Look, the thing is this is already based on sort of comic books which the stories are there. Now which particular story we’ve decided to tell is I guess the secret, but a lot of the essence of it already exists and people know about it. That’s not secret.

12) Do you say “verily” or “I say thee name?” in "Thor"?

Chris: "Nay. Like in the comic books, it’s much more Shakespearian old English speak. We didn’t go down that path. We certainly made them standard sort of English accents. It was certainly well spoken and very formal but it wasn’t Shakespearian."

13) How do you hope Thor will fit in with the Avengers?

Chris: "I just hope it works. It's going to be great. I'm not so much interested in seeing all the characters fight each other as I am seeing a dinner party with Iron Man, Captain America and Thor. What the hell would they talk about?"

14) What's one thing you've learned from Branagh on the film?

Chris: "I've learnt tons. I’ve never had so much work on character and script analysis and story as him and never been asked so many questions about who is this guy, what do you think you’d do in this situation, why do you think he does this? What’s this about? It was very odd questions at times. Ken also was about constantly doing it different ways and attacking from a different angle. We’d done this. Now let’s hit it from here. It gets you out of that zone of a certain way of thinking and limiting yourself."

[TheCorpulent1]

Ha, I knew Jane's role in the film would basically be to teach him about humility and being human. Good interview.

[Raiden]

Ha, I knew Jane's role in the film would basically be to teach him about humility and being human. Good interview.

I hope if there will be a Thor 2, Portman will be back reprising her role as Jane.

[RealIrOnMaN]

Sure) I also liked that his favourite Thor comic is Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch's The Ultimates v1. Ultimate Thor was badass back in the book (before Jeph Loeb came and screwed baaadly). They will also release a mini-series about Ultimate Thor in October, with Ultimate Versions of all Asgardians and etc.

[RealIrOnMaN]

I hope if there will be a Thor 2, Portman will be back reprising her role as Jane.
She will! In Comic-Con Marvel Studios panel there was a question to Nathalie, whether she will reprise Jane Foster in "the Avengers". She said, that there will be no Jane Foster in the Avengers, but she'll definitely show up in Thor 2 and 3 if all goes well!

[Vartha]

Can someone tell me how many different landscapes are in Thor based on the footage? From Asgard that is,I'm hoping to see all of the scenery that is in the Thor video game pics that got posted.
Well the Video game story isn't connected to the Movie, it's a stand alone story. I'm not sure we'll see all that's in the Video game in the Movie and visa versa.

Points off of Hemsworth for that one in my book. I can't stand Ultimate Thor. :oldrazz:

[RealIrOnMaN]

Dunno, he was kinda cool and brave) He was like bff with Tony Stark, like TOTALLY bff, not like in 616 Universe.

[TheCorpulent1]

I prefer my Thor to be BFFs with Captain America, a fellow noble warrior, like in the 616 universe.

[Brian Braddock]

Hmm, 5 posts in and not one gripe about Chris' favourite example of Thor comnig from the Ultimates. My ever-eroding faith in the Hype is restored. :up: :D

Awesome interview, by the way.

Exclusive Interview with THOR Video Game Producer Matt Powers & Concept Art Images of the Game
Check out what one of the head honchos behind the THOR video game has to say about creating the game and it's similarities between the film. Plus, over ten art renderings of the game itself.


As most of you know, I'm here in San Diego for the much anticipated 2010 edition of Comic Con International. While checking out the Marvel booth (after a minor communication error with Joey Q) I managed to catch up with Matt Powers, the producer of SEGA's latest comic movie/video game adaptation, THOR:

Pietro Filipponi: How soon did your team begin production of the game?

"The started production of the movie about a year and a half ago so that's when we first started working on the game. But then they delayed the movie and pushed it our for almost a year so it was a bit hard for us to continue without knowing the direction [the studio] was going to take."

PF: It seems you we almost leapfrogging over each other, so who was responsible for the designs of the Nine Realms, the intricacies of the costumes and all the aesthetic details?

"We wanted to start on the designs of the Worlds and such right away but we had to slow down for a bit to let the film crew finish conceptualizing them. Worlds like NIFLHEIM and ALFHEIM aren't featured in the film but the movie people needed to take the lead on their designs. And they really learned their way around the comics mythology, they're true experts."

PF: Is this game based on the film's storyline or is it an original one?

"It's a complete original story. Matt Fraction helped us by consulting on it."

PF: What's been the most difficult part of the process?

"I'd have to say it's getting in tuned with the movie crew. We had a tough time making a lot of forward progress because the movie guys took a long time to finalize what they wanted. Just learning to pronounce the names of these characters and places in hard enough, but we didn't know how Kenneth Branagh was going to direct Chris Hemsworth, or how Chris was going to 'speak' as Thor, so writing the game's script was a hard thing to lock down until production of the film was in full swing."

PF: Was there anything that the production crew did to help you guys along?

"The Marvel guys were a tremendous help. Like with the cape, they sent us actual swatches of the cloth so we can make sure the game matched up with the film. As for the helmet, which you don't see here [in the concept art], Marvel changed the helmet design three times on us so far. Even now they are still tweaking the helmets and costumes with CG, even though they are already done filming. We're constantly getting new designs in."

PF: When comparing the Thor game to others like Iron Man or Wolverine, what would you say it the biggest difference?

"This whole experience has been great and mostly because it's so different. It's not grounded in Earth or technology, it's so vast and deep with all the Worlds and characters that there is so much more room to be creative with it. It's a very fun time"

[Whiskey Tango]

I liked Ultimate Thor. Not as much as regular Thor, but there wouldn't have been any point in making them the same.

http://i28.tinypic.com/348odp1.jpg

[TheCorpulent1]

Yes, there would have: they'd both be good. :awesome:

[Whiskey Tango]

Hitch's art freakin' rocked, btw.

[TheCorpulent1]

On this, at least, we can agree. :)

[Spideyfan93]

I like how he thought Bruce Banner was Tony Stark.

[Whiskey Tango]

I especially liked the "is-he-or-isn't-he an actual god?" angle. Then Loeb came along and had him talking in thee's and thou's. Gawd.:doh:

[Hunter Rider]

Yes. Tom Hiddleston said in the interview, that Loki's origin and Frost Giants are connected (just like in the comics, 'cause Loki is the son of Frost Giant). And we are going to see the explanation behind Loki's past.

yes, There's part of the movie where Loki learns of his Frost Giant lineage, the FIRST draft had them Approach Loki early on not sure how he finds out in the 2nd draft

Excellent, so will we see Thor battle them?

[Blackman]

I especially liked the "is-he-or-isn't-he an actual god?" angle.
I like that angle too. It wouldve been funny in The Avengers is everyone is questioning if hes a god or a crazy guy with powers. But of course we the audience know that he is.

Also whats the explanation for Thor/Asgard in the MArvel movieverse? Its not the standard comic explanation is it?

[TheCorpulent1]

I especially liked the "is-he-or-isn't-he an actual god?" angle. Then Loeb came along and had him talking in thee's and thou's. Gawd.:doh:
Not unique to the Ultimate universe. They've dealt with that issue numerous times in the original comics.

[RealIrOnMaN]

Guess so. And even if not, we will still be able to beat the crap out of them in the video game)

[Vartha]

The art's fine to me too, but Like Corp, I didn't like the Hippie part, it just sets wrong to me.

[Vartha]

they haven't said lol They give ya all these teases and say nothing else.
Like the Don Blake issue, Kenneth dodged left and right and wouldn't say, then Chris slipped and mentions he'd be Don on Earth. lol
It's gonna be torture Wobbly! lol

[Thortress]

New in forum. First post. Long time reader Big Thor Fan!
I bring you yet another interview hope you like:
Its from buzzsugar.com
How did Chris Hemsworth stack up as Thor?
Natalie Portman: Chris is fantastic. He is truly, truly talented. He can do anything. He's got a great sense of humor, he's got great emotional depth. He's a very, very smart guy and he's so nice. He's truly, genuinely, a wonderful person. He's exactly the kind of person who can handle this situation. Because you know it's a big, big deal, and he's able to have perspective, know what it is, and he's so kind. He's just a really great guy.
Kat Dennings: He's got a good family. We met his parents — they're lovely. He's just a good person.
To read more, including what Chris Hemsworth had to say, just read more.
What was the experience of working on such a large-scale action movie like?
KD: Well, it's certainly the hugest thing I've ever been a part of, in pretty much every single way. I've worked with amazing people, but I really idolize Kenneth Branagh — for a really really long time — so it was pretty crazy to actually be able to work with him. I mean, we had a table read, and Anthony Hopkins was there: What?! The caliber of actors in this movie, including Ms. Portman, is just pretty much a dream for me and the most exciting thing, in a different way than I've been excited about other things, in a stars-in-my-eyes kind of way.
Were you intimidated?
KD: Yes, I was, but quickly made comfortable by my friends. And Ken, who is the most gracious, loving, supportive director you could ever, ever work with, so it quickly went away.
Did you and Kat know each other before?
NP: Yes. It was a great, great gift that we got to work together. It was really lucky. It was a fun movie to begin with, and it amplified the fun by a million.
KD: Someone asked me, "So your friendship with Natalie Portman clearly got you this film." I'm like, Natalie Portman had no idea I got this!
NP, to KD: I was like, "You would want to do this? That's the coolest thing ever!" [And] when they told me they cast Kat, I was like, "You got Kat?! That's so cool!" It was amazing.
This is your first movie in 3D; how does that feel?
NP: Everyone's going to know how flat-chested I am now! It's going to be evidence.
What's it like being involved in such a big project?
Chris Hemsworth: It's a combination of daunting and exciting. You come onto something that has a pre-existing fan base for many years, people know more about your character than you do, which you don't usually do as an actor. You want to make sure you pay homage to those guys and respect it, but also introduce it to a new audience in the right way.
Can you describe your physical transformation for Thor?
CH: I put on a lot of weight — I put on about 20 pounds at one point. It was purely eating, eating, eating, working out and working out, trying to sleep as much as you can — that's the other third of the equation. The eating was the biggest thing; since stopping shooting I probably work out the same but don't eat as much, and I've probably lost 15 pounds or something. Chicken breasts and protein shakes, boiled chicken . . . clean meats, the right carbs. Sickly stuff.
How was it working with esteemed director and actor Kenneth Branagh?
CH: He's incredible. The first play I ever did was Much Ado About Nothing, so we all studied his film over and over again, so to come full circle and work with him now is incredible. Ken is one of the [first] people I'd ever been challenged . . . changing things, doing it differently. It really gets you out of that bad habit of saying "Oh no, my character only does this." I think when you lead yourself like that you limit possibilities, and Ken was all about experimenting and just going for it and taking that risk.
[B]What was it like seeing the trailer for the first time at Comic-Con?
CH: It was crazy, a nerve-wracking experience being on that stage. I felt like a fan sitting there watching this thing come to life.
What are the Thor monsters like?
CH: There's the frost giants — big ice monsters — [there's a] huge battle there. Thor is a God throughout the nine realms fighting monsters, and then there's Thor on earth as a human fighting humans, so it was nice to figure out the two fighting styles and how strong is he here, and weak here.
CH: In the beginning I had a bunch of [Thor] comics, and someone would give me a Thor doll as a joke, and a hammer, and I had all these things around my house. My manager gave me a record of the Thor soundtrack from years ago. And I'm like, wait a second; I'm playing this guy, I can't have all this around my house. I'll make a fool of myself. So I boxed it away and gave it to someone else

[Hunter Rider]

Welcome to the Hype Thortress. ;)

Guess so. And even if not, we will still be able to beat the crap out of them in the video game)

[Whiskey Tango]

Not unique to the Ultimate universe. They've dealt with that issue numerous times in the original comics.

They've dealt with everything in the original comics, including Thor turning into a frog.

Hmmm, I wonder if I could sell Joey Q on an Ultimate Frog of Thunder miniseries? :awesome:

[TheCorpulent1]

It's gonna happen again pretty soon in Avengers vs. Pet Avengers. Yes, that's an actual comic... and it's gonna be awesome. :hehe:

Yes, there is (+ concept art) = http://spidermedia.ru/node/2764

[Brian Braddock]

Hitch's art freakin' rocked, btw.

Ah, Bryan Hitch. Back when the Ultimates was actually a good read (Only volumes 1 and 2 exist, in my eyes but still). Of course, the only down side to Hitch's art was waiting about 8 months for every issue.

I know the Ultimates is not without its detractors but I always found the title perfectly acceptable as long as I never lost sight that they were basically the Marvel equivalent to a DC 'Elseworlds' and should never even be considered as canon over 616.

That's all well and good, but when people start claiming Ultimate Cap is better than 616 Cap or that Ultimate Thor did... well, anything original besides the hippie connection, it bugs me.

Haha, I forgot about those dreadful delays. when a new issue came out it was like Christmas! And then you read it superfast so it was more like a 5 minute mini-Christmas and then you were stuck with another 6-8 month wait.

[Blackman]

What's so different about the Ultimate Thor, Cap, and Iron Man in contrast to the 616

[RealIrOnMaN]

What's so different about the Ultimate Thor, Cap, and Iron Man in contrast to the 616

* Ultimate Iron Man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Iron_Man_(character))

* Ultimate Thor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Thor)

* Ultimate Cap (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Captain_America)

[Blackman]

I meant to say in terms of personality because i hear alot of people complain about their personalities especially Cap because from the articles they seem alright

[Raiden]

She will! In Comic-Con Marvel Studios panel there was a question to Nathalie, whether she will reprise Jane Foster in "the Avengers". She said, that there will be no Jane Foster in the Avengers, but she'll definitely show up in Thor 2 and 3 if all goes well!

Excellent! :word:

[SpiderByte]

Thor has the potential to be the greatest superhero film ever made.

[Brian Braddock]

That's all well and good, but when people start claiming Ultimate Cap is better than 616 Cap or that Ultimate Thor did... well, anything original besides the hippie connection, it bugs me.

Oh, without a doubt Corp.

What's better, something flashy that's only been around for a couple of years or something that's been around for decades and is steeped in tradition?

I know what my money would be on.

As I said, I enjoyed the 1st 2 volumes of the Ultimates but never at the expense of my love for the Avengers.

Haha, I forgot about those dreadful delays. when a new issue came out it was like Christmas! And then you read it superfast so it was more like a 5 minute mini-Christmas and then you were stuck with another 6-8 month wait.

Truly agonising at times; especially if the issue ended on a cliffhanger (and most did!!). With hindsight, I honestly would have just waited for the trades to come out.

[Raiden]

Ultimate Iron Man/Tony Stark was pretty much same as the 616 version, except the armor is very different in terms of appearance, and he needed many assistants helping him wearing or taking off the armor. Ultimate Thor was a hippie and imo very different than his 616 counterpart. Ultimate Cap was a badass, but some may say that he is just too extreme and more violent than the regular Cap, and he had used a rather unflattering line on France which 616 Cap won't have said.

[TheCorpulent1]

Ultimate Cap is a jingoistic thug who pokes fun at Millar's idea of the uber-patriotic government stooge. He's loud, overly violent, and obnoxious. 616 Cap is a genuine inspiration to his fellow heroes, brimming with idealism, and unafraid to question his superiors because he believes in the spirit of America rather than the letter of every law politicians may have pushed through for any number of reasons.

Isn't most of Millar's work like that?

[TheCorpulent1]

Yes. Yes, it is.

[lixdexia]

as someone who LOVES ultimates 1&2, i would hate for the movies to go that route.

[TheCorpulent1]

I liked The Ultimates myself. I would just hate to see that version of the characters be spread to the masses and take root. I don't want a generation of people thinking Captain America, one of the noblest and most idealistic individuals to ever walk the fictional earth, is an obnoxious a**hole. It'd be like making Superman a deadbeat dad or something. ;)

[Brian Braddock]

Ouch.

[superkong 500]

So excited about this movie it has the potentianl to be marvel's LOTRS. Part 2 could have Surtur attacking Asgard and earth. Surtur could look great onscreen. I would love to see thor and odin fighting Surtur and other demons back to back.

Yeah, imagine walking out of the Avengers movie and you hear someone complain that it 'wasnt anything like the comics as Hulk didnt eat anyone or say that he was horny'. :whatever:

I honestly think I'd get violent.

i had someone ask me why batman didn't get his powers from a radioactive bat after begins and i had to be carried away.

Hahaha, that s***'s not so much annoying as it is insanely hilarious. :lmao:

[Brian Braddock]

i had someone ask me why batman didn't get his powers from a radioactive bat after begins and i had to be carried away.

Ugh, I share your anguish.

Next time I'm just go along with it and say something like - ''I know, right? They didnt even have Wolverine flying like he does in the comics - what's up with that??!!! Where was Wolverine's alien home world? Where was the Wolvermobile? I swear, the hacks making these films know nothing! They should have me and you direct the next one! At least we know our stuff!!!''

See what kind of a reaction I get.

[TheCorpulent1]

Thor should get his powers from being bitten by a radioactive hammer. :awesome:

[lixdexia]

Thor should get his powers from being bitten by a radioactive hammer. :awesome:
no, thor comes to earth and gets bitten by a radioactive doctor. that's how he becomes don blake in the movie. duh

Ultimate Cap seems to be a parody of John Walker, who himself was a parody. They already had that character in 616 unless they've killed him.

Is John Walker a parody of 616 Cap, or someone else?

[lixdexia]

Who's John Walker a parody of?
ignorant people's idea of who cap is.

[Brian Braddock]

Walker certainly didnt start off as a parody but, yes, one could argue that he became one.

I'm actually a fan of the earlier incarnation of Walker's character, when he was the Cap replacement who could do no right in the eyes of his superiors and stuggled under the huge shadow cast by Steve Rogers.

[TheCorpulent1]

Loki's dad, perhaps?

[marvelrobbins]

Remember this IS comicBookFilm so take It with a grain of salt however after Colm Feore was cast I long thought maybe he was playing Loki's father If they were keeping from Original script Loki's descent Into evil Is after he learns he Is not really Odin's son and
discovers Odin killed his father.

[Parker Wayne]

Isn't most of Millar's work like that?

Yeah and Corp you forgot somewhat racist too.

But Millar can create great concepts. That's why the movies based on his GNs are always better.

Ultimate Cap is a jingoistic thug who pokes fun at Millar's idea of the uber-patriotic government stooge. He's loud, overly violent, and obnoxious. 616 Cap is a genuine inspiration to his fellow heroes, brimming with idealism, and unafraid to question his superiors because he believes in the spirit of America rather than the letter of every law politicians may have pushed through for any number of reasons.

This pretty much describes Ultimate Cap in a nutshell.

man i almost feel bad for saying this but ive never had a problem with Ultimate Cap. hes not supposed to be 616 Cap and i never expected him to be. i attribute a lot of his attitude to the fact that he has only been unthawed for what a few years? he hasnt had decades to adjust to modern times like 616 Cap. but i can understand why folks dislike him.

[Antonello Blueberry]

Ultimate Iron Man/Tony Stark was pretty much same as the 616 version, except the armor is very different in terms of appearance, and he needed many assistants helping him wearing or taking off the armor.
Personality wise, Tony Stark in 616 was never portrayed as someone who enjoyed his money, the thrill of being of a superhero or even the alcohol.

Aside from the ridiculous dialogue that almost made me stopped reading, the Ultimates Hulk is the one I want to see onscreen. Just a rampaging monster smashing his way through cities. Both movie Hulk's weren't monsters at all... there was no "OH S*** THE HULK!!!!!!" It was more like "Oh hey Hulk".

Just NEVER have him speak like that. I honestly wouldn't see the movie if he did.

[SpiderByte]

Remember how Red Skull was searching for a "Tesseract" in the raw footage for Cap?

here's what Re-Man said, (by the way he's the guy I inked the Thor/Hulk pages in my art threads)
Vartha1, yeah, it was a toy. made out of some cheap plastic. they told people not to touch it, but when no one was looking, i touched and grabbed it. it was hallow! it even had the plastic inseam lines coming down from the mallet! it was just for show, but officially the look is going to be the hammer. up close, it look as cheap as the Halloween thor hammer you buy with the costume.

there was some truly awesome stuff there! the helmets up close was amazing. the detail was incredible. and there was sooooo many free stuff! the painted movie posters you've seen online, badge holders that goes around your neck with the "thor" emblem. i got a chance to sit on the throne!! i have to tell you, i never thought the day would come when my favorite superhero get this much attention! it almost brought tears to me http://www.comicboards.com/php/templates/boardicons/smile.gif my daughter said she never seen me so happy. hahahahaha!! and i never thought i would be lining up with soooo many thor fans for the thor panel. did anyone else here make it out there? i even yelled out "hey, anyone here a member of the thor message board??" no one answer.

it was truly a dream come true.

Again, perfectly fine if you dig him on his own terms. It's when people claim that 616 Cap could take a lesson in being "badass" from his Ultimate counterpart that really bugs me. 616 Cap is badass in his own way; look up The Infinity Gauntlet, check out the scene where he stands up to Thanos, and tell me that's not insanely badass. But 616 Cap is not and should never be anything like Ultimate Cap. :o

He knows I'd ban him when I reach the bottom. :argh:

'Thor' Concept Art From Sega Gets Epic With An Odinsword

The Mighty Thor (http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/tag/thor/) is still coming to a game from Sega in 2011 (http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2009/11/03/thor-and-captain-america-games-coming-in-2011/), and some new concept art shows off what looks to be a "God of War"-scale atmosphere, which is appropriate considering that the title character is the Norse God of Thunder.

The second of the two images posted on on the Sega Europe Blog (http://blogs.sega.com/europe/2010/07/27/thor-concept-art-i/) looks like it could be Muspelheim, home of Thor's fire demon foe Surtur, who once held the Odinsword I assume to be sitting in the background above the lava.


The first picture is unfamiliar to me, though. Maybe some Thor aficionados reading this will be able to share some insight, but it looks quite Viking/Asgardian-ish with its designs and mystical contraptions. It appears to be some kind of port with a raft ready to dock. The bigger mystery is what all of its ropes are attached to up above.

Anyhow, the artwork looks great, but the pressure will be on to see how nice of a game Sega can make to complement Kenneth Branagh's "Thor" movie, which already has some heavy-duty buzz behind it following Comic-Con last week.

[TheCorpulent1]

Awesome. Could also be the Twilight Sword, which is similar in size. Either way, it's cool. :up:

[al35077]

Hey Corp, Jump.

[Aesop Rocks]

[Sawyer]

Everyone that has joined in 2010 seems to. :o

[TheCorpulent1]

Sawyer's totally an old man sitting on his porch, complaining about those "young whippersnappers of '10."

[Sawyer]

If that's the way i'm coming off, then so be it, but literally everytime I see an annoying or obnoxious post and look a little to the left, all I see is Join Date: ____ 2010.

[TheCorpulent1]

There are plenty of annoying people who've been here for a long time. Just look at Aesop. :awesome:

[al35077]

[Sawyer]

Oh noes, you've summoned him... :eek:

[Sawyer]

well I'll try to be a little more 2004 then. although that mught not be such a good idea since i was 14 then lol

I'm not basing this solely on you, but the "I crave attention" crack really isn't helping your case. :o

Yeah I have all the pics posted in the Thor World thread. ANY Thor game to ME is a game worth playing. :D

[SpiderByte]

Sega also made Sonic the Hedgehog, so.....

[DarthSkywalker]

Sega also made Sonic the Hedgehog, so.....

What as the last good Sonic? The first one for the dreamcast? Perhaps you are not up to date on Sega, but they have been a laughing stock for quite awhile now.

[Spider-Vader]

Ever since the Dreamcast died infact. Nintendo just needs to buy them out now.

[Parker Wayne]

The Sonic series today is a joke.

[al35077]

I'll play it just for the visuals. definatly just a rental though

[marvel_freshman]

[Compi716]

Hehehe, Natalie is so tiny!

[Vartha]

Hehehe, Natalie is so tiny!
lol Imagine the action figure hahaha

[Asgard]

Lol. Looks like a still from a TV sitcom.

[Bren]

Lol. Looks like a still from a TV sitcom.

It does! Chris has a seriously long neck, bloody giraffe!

[maenalus]

Does agent Coulson have a big role in this?

[Chewy]

The footage they showed certainly indicates he does

http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2010/07/27/thor-concept-art-from-sega-gets-epic-with-an-odinsword/ Wow, awesome!

[Avengers-Report]

Any word on when we are going to get a trailer?? I saw the full thing twice at Comic-Con and I cannot stop thinking about it. I really want to watch it again, lol.

[al35077]

Nothing yet closest we have gotten is the audio

[echostation]

air up there, u saw it twice, many of us couldn't even go and see it once, yet no one bothered taping it for a second? i know illegal but out of all the hundreds there, and that this happens ALL the time, not ONE of you guys could have bothered?? man the next time i'm at on eof them I will, i don't give a ****...

[Agent 194]

Agreed! Lame. Show us the stuff.

[Aesop Rocks]

but out of all the hundreds there,

Hundreds? You mean THOUSANDS?

[Chewy]

The Iron Man 2 footage didn't show up for like a week and a half. I'm certain someone filmed it, just give it time

[louiebling$]

http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/100727/Thor-Natalie-Portman-Chris_400.jpg
First thought I had when I seen this pic is "Chris and Natalie have to have something going on... it just looks like they are an item " just my 4 cents :o

[chamber-music]

I heard Tom and Kat were an item.
http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/100727/Thor-Natalie-Portman-Chris_400.jpg
Looks like a sitcom for NBC.. "Hanging in Midgard"

[Aesop Rocks]

More like BANGING in Midgard.

[DarthSkywalker]

So, what exactly is known about the story so far?

[Aesop Rocks]

Thor is a bully, Odin isn't having it and casts him to earth to learn some sense of humanity. Meets Jane Foster, finds humanity under the bed sheets. Gets hammer from SHIELD and haves at thee with Loki.

[Silvermoth]

I heard Tom and Kat were an item.

Add in a laugh track and we have ourselves a show!

[ClintF]

I heard that they made the footage so it could not be filmed somehow using 3D thus is why we are just getting the audio portion. Something about the 3D technology scrambles the filmed footage or something. They are going to start doing that from now on, took them long enough.

[TheCorpulent1]

Does agent Coulson have a big role in this?

The footage they showed certainly indicates he does

I'm kind of sad he's gonna basically be a villain for this movie. I'm sure Thor will save the day and SHIELD will realize they were wrong to capture and interrogate him, though.

[chamber-music]

And probe him

[The Infernal]

More of an obstacle than villain. Much like many old crossovers between heroes. They fight then realise they shouldn't be fighting and then team up to take on a bigger threat.

[TheCorpulent1]

Only in this case, I doubt SHIELD could do much to help Thor against the Destroyer and Loki.

[SpiderByte]

http://**************.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=20774

[TheCorpulent1]

Haha, sounds crazy.

[Moridin]

More of an obstacle than villain.

Yeah. SHIELD were absolutely right in capturing and interrogating him, he took out a whole team of agents!
What are they gonna do? Say, "Well young man, we've never seen anyone fight like that but you seem like a man on a mission and I'm sure you had a good reason so we'll get out of your way." and send him on his way?
:oldrazz:

[TheCorpulent1]

Not saying it doesn't make sense, just that it makes me a bit sad they won't all get along. I like both Thor and Coulson. :csad:

[The Infernal]

I'm sure Coulson will eventually lend some Shield knowhow and tech to lend a helping hand.

http://spidermedia.ru/node/2764 THOR: THE VIDEO GAME TRAILER

[NickNitro]

Always thought Movie to Video Game and Video Game to Movie adaptations just dont go well.......Im gonna have to say Meh until I see ingame footage.

[Marvin]

I truly wonder how much of this film will be thor with no powers, given marvels low balling approach, I'd say probably two thirds.

[Thortress]

Sooooo I was in the middle of a Government meeting and I check my twitter and bam marvel.com tweets: watch teaser trailer for Thor...I almost chocked and feel out of my seat...short breathe...and bam again I read it was for the video game
....Ok I can't take it anymore waiting for the movie trailer is really killing me!!

[RealIrOnMaN]

Yeah, something like that happened when they posted IM2: The Video Game trailer (big Iron Man fan myself), so I was shocked too)

I think we should wait for 8th of August (nothing official, it's just my assumption - we received comic-con camrip of IM2 trailer on that day previous year). If there's Avatar Day, why 8th of August can't be "The Avengers Day"?)

[S.A.A.D.]

I truly wonder how much of this film will be thor with no powers, given marvels low balling approach, I'd say probably two thirds.

I hope that doesn't happen,I still worry about the movie being a tad too boring when Thor is on earth walking,running,and beating up laughable opponents(S.H.I.E.L.D guys) while on his quest to learn humility and to reclaim his hammer. I mean don't get me wrong,every movie has their boring bits,but this being on earth part...

[Brian Braddock]

*cough* Spider-Man 2 *cough*

Anyone remember the 'Peter loses his powers? The movies gonna suck!' posts?

[S.A.A.D.]

Spiderman 2 wasn't boring when he lost his powers,hopefully Thor will have the same result as it when he doesn't have all of his powers being stranded on earth. Anyways,since Loki is suppose to send dark forces to earth,what other bad guys are popping up on earth besides the Destroyer? Right now to me it sounds like Thor will only go up against the Destroyer and SHIELD guys before Loki comes down.

[Vartha]

Haha, sounds crazy.
That was one of the interviews just before the Marvel panel

[Raiden]

Not saying it doesn't make sense, just that it makes me a bit sad they won't all get along. I like both Thor and Coulson. :csad:

I'm sure these two will be friends once Thor joins the Avengers, which is organized by Nick Fury, head of SHIELD.

[RealIrOnMaN]

Come on guys. We all know, that Thor is still powerful even without Mjolnir, 'cause he's a FRIGGIN GOD! It won't be like SM2esque situation.

[Raiden]

Come on guys. We all know, that Thor is still powerful even without Mjolnir, 'cause he's a FRIGGIN GOD! It won't be like SM2esque situation.

Thor is still strong without Mjolnir, but not superhero/immortal god strong, because Odin stripped his immortality and powers away from him. Once he can finally wield Mjolnir again, all the powers will return to him.

[piccolo]

From what I heard, most of the movie will be Thor on earth. I was hoping for more Asgard but maybe they're saving that for a bigger budget film once they find out if this is profitable or not.

[piccolo]

http://spidermedia.ru/node/2764 thor: The video game trailer

where's his helmet!!?

[DCW]

Just gotta say, this morning when I woke up I didn't give a crap about Thor. After looking into it more, I cannot wait for this film!

[protocida]

So, what exactly is known about the story so far?

Thor is a brave, but arrogant warrior who lives in Asgard. His father, Odin, who is the ruler of Asgard, is thinking about passing the throne to his son.

Meanwhile, Thor's brother, Loki, finds out he's not the son of Odin, but the son of Laufey, the king of the Frost Giants of Jotunhein whom Odin slayed many years ago. Angered, Loki teams up with a rogue faction of Frost Giants and plans to take over the Nine Worlds.

He manipulates Thor into making a foolish decision that results in the destruction of an entire world and in the beginning of a war between Asgard and Jotunhein. Odin, furious, strips Thor of his powers and bans him to Earth (Midgard) to learn with his mistakes.

Thor's magical hammer, protected by an enchantment that allows only someone worthy to lift it, is also send to Earth by Odin to remind Thor of his failure.

Here, Thor is found by a cosmology student called Jane Foster, who takes him to a Cosmology Center, where Thor meets her friend, Darcy Williams, and her mentor, Professor Andrew Ford. They all become friends and Thor eventually falls in love with Jane and learns with her about humilty.

Meanwhile, SHIELD finds the hammer and sends agent Phil Coulson to retreive it.

Back in Asgard, Loki overthrows Odin and prepares to conquer the Nine Worlds. Knowing that, Sif, Volstagg, Fandral and Hogun come to Earth to find Thor, the only one that can stop him now. Knowing that, Loki sends the Destroyer to Earth to destroy Thor before he's able to regain his power.

Thor manages to lift the hammer once the Destroyer threatens his friends, defeats it with SHIELD's aid and returns to Asgard with Sif and the Warriors Three to vanquish Loki and the Frost Giants.

[Vartha]

where's his helmet!!?
Maybe something to do with Earning it. He might where it in battles.

[S.A.A.D.]

Awesome,just awesome,the final confrontation on Asgard. I didn't know that Loki was the one who was responsible for Thor causing trouble and being sent to earth and being stripped of his powers..

[Kmack]

Woohoo sounds awesome! :woot: I'm so stoked for this :up:

[RealIrOnMaN]

Damn, proto, this is great man. Is it like your official outline? If it is, then it is amazing!

[JeetKuneDo]

I hope that doesn't happen,I still worry about the movie being a tad too boring when Thor is on earth walking,running,and beating up laughable opponents(S.H.I.E.L.D guys) while on his quest to learn humility and to reclaim his hammer. I mean don't get me wrong,every movie has their boring bits,but this being on earth part...

May end up being the best part since that is tied directly in with the main plot of the film (Arrogant Thor learning humility).

[Figs]

So is that official?

Only thing I don't like is Thor needing SHIELD's help to take out the Destroyer armor.

[piccolo]

That final confrontation is going to be awesome.
