Thor release date official: June 4th 2010!!!

Which brings us to the heart of the matter...

Will any of you ever accept magic in a Marvel movie? I don't see how the movie Marvel Universe can ever expand and intertwine with itself like it does in the comics. Magic, aliens, the supernatural, is all prevalent in the comics. Nobody seems to want any of these things in the movies though or think they can mesh with the established universe. We're at a crossroads. Either accept that the movie universe is not the same as the real world we live in (like in the comics), or accept that only technologically/scientifically explained characters will make it to film. I really don't know how Thor is going to get made.

 

[The Guard]

Magic is just another realm's science. The way to go is the Ultimate route, with people questioning whether Thor is what he says he is. That's just a great, great angle.

Thor may well be a metahuman or an alien with advanced technology. As long as he's Thor.

Yeah, I thought Ultimates' approach was excellent. Everyone was questioning whether Thor really is a Norse god, and several believed he was using an alien technology or something. In the end, Thor was vindicated, but still leave rooms for "did he/didn't he". I think Marvel should always ground in reality, and doing this will serve both Marvel's realism and Thor's magic.

Bingo.

Listening to Marvel's conference call and announcement of these movies, I was taken back by one thing no one's talking about. These movies have bullied (for lack of a better word) Spider-Man 4 out of May and June of either year. Thor pushing Spider-Man to July seems crazy. Marvel gently pushing around their very own big boy is funny to me.

 

[Bubonic]

I read the script reviews and seen parts of it, and it actually does seem like a great way of introducing the character, I'm just really surprised that he will be introduced in Iron Man 2, really can't wrap my mind about how that'll work, sort of hoping he'll be more of a cameo then a central focus, but if that was the case, why make an announcement about it instead of trying to keep it a surprise...

I think this could almost blow the Iron Man 2 movie if too much time is spent on him when there are things like Mandarin and the 10 Rings, War Machine, alcoholism and further development of Potts and Stark to be concerned with...

Yeah, but maybe there is still uncertainties surrounding SM4. I don't think Marvel would shaft their biggest property for Thor, or anyone else.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Splendid!

 

[AndThePickles]

Oooo, so excited! :heart:

 

[Captain Planet!]

I really don't see how a Norse God can come to modern day America and have it NOT be indredibly ******ed. It sounds like a comedy.

I hope I am proven wrong.

It'll be very weird at first. That's why I hope he stays as Donald Blake for the majority of his time in public

I just hope that the right people keep working on these projects, lets hope they cut off Snyder from any of these films, and the casting continues to be as stellar as it has been so far.

I want Thor to be as serious as a heart attack, and that he's mere presence will make it so guys like Stark and Pym aren't making goldilocks wisecracks.

I'm also thinking it be better if he spoke like he does in the current run, I SAY THEE NAY!!! Might come off like some pure cheese.

 

[AndThePickles]

Haha, I want to hear the oldschool Thor talk, though

 

[Captain Planet!]

Antman: Yo Thunderfart, do you want this garlic sauce to go with your pizza?

Thor: I say NAY!!!!!

 

[Colossal Spoons]

The old-style speak is a must.

 

[Bubonic]

I understand it has a special spot in our hearts, but it makes no more sense for him to talk in archaic english then it does to have him speak in modern english... as he is a nordic god for **** sakes!!!

I think the best route is what they do for most of these characters set either in the past, or in a fantasy world, they all, for some reason, sound sort of british...

I wonder how patronizing that is to british people...

But really, maybe archaic english could work, but I don't see how it wouldn't be laughable, especially when he is taken out of Asgard and set into modern day New York.

Yeah, but isn't the Thor script (that everyone's raving about) set entirely in Valhalla, complete with elves, demons, serpents, and all Norse Mythology?

I can't fathom how to make that work with IM.

Similair problem with Wonder Woman in a future JLA movie, but Thor is another order of magnitude beyond even that.

I just can't see it working.

That would be fine with me. That of course begs the question: Is it cool for Marvel to pick aspects out of the Ultimate Universe and toss it into the mix? They've already done it with Fury, so how far would be too far?

 

[GhostPoet]

Who's the guy that directed 13th Warrior? I thought that was really well done....seems like he'd be good for this type of film.

Like that movie where Hugh Jackman english aristocrate travels through time to romance Meg Ryan?

I don't find it patronizing. Pretty much every movie in english set in the past has people talking in british accents, even if the people they are playing or the actors aren't british.

Thor will probabley talk Dark Ages Britishy like they did in Lord of The Rings.

That was kind of what I was getting at originally. It's a mindset I think the majority of comic book movie fans are in. They like the idea of their heroes appearing to exist in "our world" and don't want to ruin things by introducing the more fantastical elements. I seriously doubt the general public would have a problem with this. Judging by how well magic and fantasy movies perform, it actually seems like a smart move to me.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Since Thor will be introduced in Iron Man 2, how do you guys (and gals) think it will be handled?

A minor role at the end or a major role throughout the film?

Also, how should he be introduced?

When was it announced Thor was appearing in IM2?

Maybe protesting an oil tanker on the news. The headline is something like, "activist claims to be Norse god."

Or did I miss something too?

"Iron Man 2 will hit theaters on April 30, 2010. Thor, which has Stardust helmer Matthew Vaughn attached, will follow on June 4, 2010. The character, according to Marvel Studios' David Maisel, will first be introduced to moviegoers in Iron Man 2."
