Thor's costume

[RogueDK]

It could be better, it could be worse. Hammer looks great, waist up it looks fine. Any word on the helmet?

Apparently it's been confirmed that he wears one but although IGN.com stated that this is what we'll get in the film, they did ask where was Thor's helmet. I'm not sure if they were joking or not just to tease fans.

Od's Beard - It's Thor's Costume!

The Norse god follows Captain America in the concept-art realm eternal.

June 3, 2010





by Scott Collura & Jim Vejvoda




First we got concept art of Captain America yesterday, created to more or less approximate what Chris Evans will look like in his star-spangled duds. And now another Avenger has received the same treatment -- namely, the god of thunder, Thor!

Here's a look at the design, but be sure to click over to Collider for the full images:

So it looks O.K., but not great, right? But be assured, this is in fact the costume -- IGN has seen the real thing, and in action no less. And we can tell you to calm your trembling heart, dear reader, for the costume looks much cooler than these pictures would indicate -- not as plastic in motion. Indeed, it looks pretty badass.

It's nice seeing the hammer in action here, particularly with the mystical sheen that it has. But where be our helmet?! And they better not chop off the wings like they did with Cap…

Hopefully something describing the helmet's design should pop up soon in the next few days or when an official full shot from Marvel is released which I'm guessing we'll see before the month is out.

I'm really anxious to see how they approached the style of it.

I'm sure it's gonna look even better on the screen!

So it's not the Thorminator? Oh well. I'll wait for the trailer.

 

[3 Dev Adam]

Magnetic Holder. I think.

 

[Maximillian]

But what's it for? And why not on the other leg as well? From here it just looks bizarre. Would've been better without it. When did he wear something like that in the comics?

 

[sabetoonth]

Am I the only one that thinks this looks badass?

First off Mjolnir looks incredible. Yeah we saw it in the end credits of IM2, but the glow effects make it come alive, and you can tell fromt the one pic the circles on the breast plate light up with Mjolnir.

Now I'll give you the boots are a little Gene Simmons, but we knew they were going for the Tech Asgard. So while he doesn't look quite Viking like, I think they made the costume look very regal.

I said this the same with the Cap costume, if on the one side you have the outfits from the X-men movies, and on the other side you have the outfits from Spider-man/IronMan this and the Cap costume are just right of center.

i think it looks awesome too

A magnetic holder, just above the knee? While I think it's possible this is the case, the reasoning is...... off. So I want a massive stone hammerhead strapped just above my knee. You know, to make walking easy. But he's Thor so it probably won't bother him.

For those saying 'but this is concept art - don't judge the pants / boots'; well, the entire outfit is concept, and the top half looks great. So it's all relative. And in relation to the top, the bottom looks rubbish/boring/unimaginive/plain. Perhaps (like newscasters) we actually never see him below the waist in the movie anyway!!!

But never mind. Someone mentioned the pants look godly. Great, I'll chuck my bike leather pants on and trot around looking godly !

Still can't wait for the film though. I hope he's got the beard don't know if that's been confirmed?

Sincerely, I don´t think this looks as good as the Captain America costume. I get that Cap´s costume is the modern version, that he´ll wear as an Avenger, he´s human, he´ll use technology.

But for Thor, it looks weird to have those hi-tech elements. He´s not human, he´s an Asgardian God, this kinda takes off from the mythological/unearhty aspect of the character. It´s like putting a modern suit on Gandalf.

I´m okay with Cap having no wings, and I half-expected Thor not to have them as well, but... Not even the helmet?! What the hell?

 

[Ratcrawler]

It's a nice mesh of ultimate & classic Thor that I wouldn't mind seeing in the Avengers film, but I've got to say, for an origin piece taking place primarily in Asgard, it doesn't quite the "period" look I was expecting and sort of hoping for. This is "Asgard In The Year 2099" LOL

But overall, I'm not the hugest Thor fan to begin with so my opinions are very humble indeed. I would totally rock that outfit if I could.

Well, this is something we both agree on.

Total fail on Thor's bottom half of the suit.

 

[obin_gam]

haha I love visiting and reading these boards, you guys complain about everything I guess the next thing after the pants (really? you are arguing about friigin PANTS!?!?!) will be that odins lost eye is on the wrong side or that the forst giants have the wrong shade of white on their skin...

 

[Whiskey Tango]

I don't know why everyone seems so focused on the pants. I mean, yeah...he's wearing pants. Was this some big unexpected thing?

 

[3 Dev Adam]

To hold the hammer. He only has one. And yes, he did wore something similar in the comics.

 

[Tony Stark]

 

[Savage]

It's an improvement over sheathing it in his cape like a sword. It looked cool but how the hell is that possible?

 

[Manowar]

The pants kinda remind me of future Thor (Dargo Ktor). Someone link a pic to see.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

People have suggested that the strap that goes over his chest in the Coipel design is there for some kind of holster tucked under his cape on his back.

I don't recall Thor ever wearing a strap around his leg to hold his hammer in the comics, by the way. I've read a lot of Thor comics and, as far as I can recall off the top of my head right now, I've only seen him hang Mjolnir from his belt and, as of the Coipel design, put it on his back with the handle sticking up behind his head.

I'm fine with Cap not having wings, but not only should Thor have wings, he should have the whole helmet.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, the wings would look really silly without the helmet.

 

[Young Superman]

I LOVE Thor's costume design. But I take it he won't have his helmet in the film?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

He will. People who've visited the set confirmed it. We just haven't seen it yet.

 

[Young Superman]

He will. People who've visited the set confirmed it. We just haven't seen it yet.

That's great can't wait to see it.

 

[thegameq]

Oh well......the red flag for this film came when they started talking about "techno vikings".

I can't understand how Marvel could possibly botch this up.....From the time Thor was announced, almost everyone knew the LOTR/300/Excalibur, etc. approach was a no-brainer for Thor.......but techno viking......!! How the hell did they arrive at this conclusion is beyond me--and quite frankly this costume is extremely dissappointing.

I can't believe that during production meetings, everyone on the team was like "OMG, this costume is incredible. THAT IS THOR!" You mean to tell me no one on the design team for this costume had the balls to speak up and say, "I don't know guys, that costume really doesn't look that great--I mean, I know it will look better on film, but.....it doesn't fit with the LOTR-esque image the fans probably have of Thor".

It's becoming more and more apparent that there are very few people in Hollywood that actually know how to make fantasy/sci-fi films.....

........................................I just can't believe they could botch a no-brainer like Thor.........................

.......just damn..............

To hell with haters, I love it.
