Thor (The Movie) *Spoiler- contains character images*

[Spartan Rex]

Latino Review caught up with Samuel L. Jackson at today's press conference for Mother and Child, soliciting a few interesting tidbits about upcoming Marvel projects. Chief among them: Jackson will not be making a cameo in Thor, but will shoot one for Captain America this summer.

While perhaps not the most Earth-shattering news of all time, it is a bit surprising (and apparently was to Sam, too) as he seems a large part of the glue that holds the filmic Marvel universe. That said, he did not appear in The Incredible Hulk and, thanks to some smart Robert Downey Jr. banter, I'm pretty sure he wasn't missed. Maybe his contract is one of those "every other Marvel film" deals.

Since Jackson is slated to appear in nine films total, it's also possible that Marvel is holding him back unless he's absolutely necessary. Since it has been confirmed that Clark Gregg would be playing a part in Thor as Agent Coulson, perhaps the S.H.I.E.L.D. quota is already full.

Strange, though, that Captain America would be the film to feature Nick Fury since everything we've been told so far points to the entire movie taking place in the 1940's. Does this mean that Fury may inexplicably not age (Life Model Decoys!) or that we'll get present day bookends at the start and the end of the film? I'm betting against just a post-credits Iron Man Fury tease as it almost seems a waste of one of the nine.

Also of interest from Latino Review's piece is the fact that Jackson views The Avengers as his own "starring vehicle", telling us to expect a sizeable amount of screentime for a certain one-eyed S.H.I.E.L.D. director come 2012.

Re: THOR MOVIE!!!! Villain Spoiler image!!!!

Wow...looks pretty lame....I sure hope thats not the main character because the design looks like a POWER RANGER.....GO GO POWER RANGERS!!!

Since the Destroyer was around a heck of a lot longer than the Power Rangers I think the Power Rangers are copying him.

Re: THOR MOVIE!!!! Villain Spoiler image!!!!

it really is impossible to make fans happy. We always find a reason to hate. You gotta remember there is supposed to be a man (or Man shaped God) inside the suit. So why wouldnt it be Iron Man-esque and fit human/asgardian form?

If I'm not mistaken the suit can be worn by ANYONE. It's supposed to take the form of the user (i.e Destroyer Thor). So it makes sense that it would mold to the wearer. Back in the early day's people were drawn with the same shape as the armor!

The suit cannot be worn physically but rather a persons life force is drawn into the armor and their body is placed in a catonic state requiring neither food or rest. The armor does not take on the users shape or form. When Thor's life force was in the armor he customized the armor by adding helmet wings, cape and belt.

Well, the pict is promising on a couple of levels.
I just hope the suit doesnt come off as as too modern and has some old world elements incorporated into it as the illustrations above do.
Even though Hemsworth has been working out for the role Im sure the filmmakers wanted that kind of all covering design so they could pad
the musculature for an even more impressive look.
Hopefully the post production process will add a more metallic look to the silver areas as it looks a little plastic in this shot.
Also Im betting this shot is from a "flashback" and he will be clean shaven in "present day" scenes.


Im very excited about the promise of a HT Thor

 

[creature4000]

I like what I see so far!

Not so sure. I heard the movie version of Thor had a beard, which this pic confirms. Although a clean-shaven modern Thor is possible, I think they're trying to stay away from the Fabio look.


And yes...can't wait for the eventual HT figure!

 

[Darklord Dave]

I've never been a fan of the modern Thor comic costume, but I'd agree that it works better for a movie costume than the traditional bare arm outfit would have.

 

[Captain Spidey]

He looks awesome. Hope they don't mess up the helmet. I'm with Draekus. No beard could mean Fabio...

beards are cool.

 

[cerealkeller]

Im just hoping they dont use his helmet with wings. Looks very dated and IMO stupid. Liking what i see so far but as others have already said, I want his armor to look like armor and not plastic.

 

[The Drizzle]

beards are cool.

I agree. I hope he has the bearded look the whole movie, it's very "Nordic-Viking-y"...

 

[jye4ever]

I'm hoping his armor looks more like cheap plastic than real armor.

That would rock!

 

[makkari1]

I wonder if Sideshow will make a Thor vs The Destroyer dio or comiquette?

 

[The Entity]

The rendering of Thor's costume, just like Cap's yesterday:

I really like the look of this. Looks awesome IMO.

Wonder if he'll get a helmet though...

[EVILFACE]

Doesn't remind me much of Thor.

 

[fosing]

kinda looks like ron burgundy on some angles.

 

[Minigt]

Looks ok from the waist up but something doesnt looks right from the waist down. Maybe too plain?

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

To bad for me he looks way too slim.

It is an artist sketch perhaps it all comes together better in the film.
