Synopsis:

Quote:

Marvel Studios expands its film universe with a new type of super hero: "Thor." This epic adventure spans the Marvel Universe; from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.

I'm looking forward to this one, and hope they get it right. I love the character. That scenario is true to the comics.

STARSCREAM · 01-03-2009, 04:47 AM

Thor could be an awesome movie.

jk1138 · 01-03-2009, 05:19 AM

this is a ray of hope for a good movie.

vegeta88 · 01-03-2009, 08:18 AM

I hope that they can at least somewhat ground t in reality so that it fits with what has been done with Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk.

I too am excited for this movie (especially with the promise of the avengers the following year

)

thedarkangel1975 · 01-03-2009, 12:10 PM

I am just happy it is not Triple H as Thor, thank God

Blu-Benny · 01-03-2009, 12:14 PM

kindof excited for this movie.

2010 and 2011 are gonna

Moefiz · 01-03-2009, 12:17 PM

The outline that Marvel has plan for the movie is exactly like the comics.There is no way Marvel can pull the movie off without Thor alter ego...as for Kenneth Branagh as the director for this...good choice as for playing Thor...bad choice.

thedarkangel1975 · 01-03-2009, 12:22 PM

Branagh is not list as playing Thor as of yet. He may play only Donald Blake. I would like to see Kevin McKidd

P@t_Mtl · 01-03-2009, 12:31 PM

It could be interesting

Penitus · 01-03-2009, 02:00 PM

Thor is something that is very difficult to translate to real life from comics, because it will either come off as really cheesy, possibly even flamboyant. They need to be careful here how this gets pulled off.

naturephoto1 · 01-03-2009, 02:11 PM

I look forward to the film. I used to read the comics when I was a teen.

Interesting news but I doubt Branagh will play Thor, he seems kinda old and not really built.

TheDarkKnight821 · 01-03-2009, 07:23 PM

I like Thor (and am reading his current title which is very good), and am interested who all will be starring in this. He is somewhat of a tricky character to put on film, but hopefully Marvel will get it right.

Branagh won't play Thor and most likely won't play Blake. Probably a smaller role like what Favreau did in Iron Man.

A rumor no more (more or less):

This movie has a shot at being cool, but it has a better shot at being total crap. I hope that it comes out cool. I enjoy hero movies.

From people that read the original script, it was "off-the-charts awesome", but it would require three or four times the allotted budget. From the link, it looks like they just re-worked the last bit of the script. I have high hopes for all Marvel's movies (even Ant-Man

)

thedarkangel1975 · 01-05-2009, 04:46 PM

Minor spoiler here

That would be cool and interesting.

P@t_Mtl · 01-05-2009, 04:51 PM

I love Kenneth Brannagh but is he not a little too old now for this type of role?
