Nice work.

I hope the real thing is as good as yours.

 

[BigSams50]

JMC, you are the god of manips

The first official teaser poster for Thor will be a painting, like the Iron Man and Spider-Man posters.

 

[Webhead2006]

i cant wait to see what they decide to go with his look./

 

[Triad]

Nice job JMC!

 

[blamerandy]

i agree, i was going brain dead right before the Jaime Alexander/ Colm Feore news finally cracked. What else am I supposed to think about all day long? My job? Psssh! Forget that! But now the juice from that news story has run dry and im ready for some more.

Boooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

You and Lobo are going in the stocks for that.

Ah well, as Corp says, better than days of total inactivity.

Yeah, that's probably true. I wonder what the image will be. Just a hand holding Mjolnir with lightning striking it would be cool.

Yeah, that's probably true. I wonder what the image will be. Just a hand holding Mjolnir with lightning striking it would be cool.

I know an illustrator who painted one. He painted a silhouette of Thor standing on a rock holding Mjolnir with his cape flowing in the wind. But, various other illustrators have painted different ones, so I have no idea if that's the one they'll use. However, his paintings have been used for a variety of different Marvel posters in the past, so it seems likely they may use his work again.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Hmm, that's a cool image too. Silhouettes and somewhat cryptic imagery seem to be the way to go for the first poster.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea i would think the first posters if a official first look of thor's look havent been revealed yet. To just be thor's hammer with a hand/arm holding it. Or thor's in shadows and just ee his silhouette.

 

[Webhead2006]

Hey JMC did you see **************.com has an article up about your mainp poster.

 

[jmc]

^ Yeah saw it, didn't cause as much of a fuss as I thought it would.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Hmmm looking on Brian Blesseds IMDB page it has him down as Odin. I know IMDB is like wiki in that anyone can edit it though.

But once in a blue moon they do come up with a golden nugget.

 

[Webhead2006]

well i bet he will end up being odin we havent heard of any other names.

 

[Brian Braddock]

So far we've had Blessed saying he's going to filming a film 'with his good friend Kenny' and IMDB listing Blessed as Odin;

Fingers crossed, eh?

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Heh yea, fingers and toes crossed

But if I may be so bold, I'd say it's inevitable that he gets cast. British thespian, good friend of Branagh, PERFECT for Odin. It just makes sense.

Has anyone posted this yet?

Stellan Skarsgard has been cast in Thor. Nobody knows who yet but I think it's kind of ironic that he's in it and not his son.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Cool. Maybe Blessed = Volstagg and Skarsgard = Odin?

 

[Keyser Soze]

I think at this stage in his career, where Brian Blessed is better known for his comedic persona than his dramatic acting, Volstagg may be a better fit for him than Odin.
