First full-body images of Chris Hemsworth as Thor
Hmm. Well. Yeah.
I’m on record as being 10,000% on board with the direction Marvel is taking Thor. Kenneth Branagh is an inspired choice that remains shocking months later. Unknowns in the leads adds some intrigue and takes away any baggage the viewer might have before sitting down for a movie that asks them to believe that these guys are literally gods on Earth. Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins (to varying degrees) are capable of giving weight to comic book material that demands gravitas.
The first image, released to the God of Thunder’s MySpace page, is evocative and the costume looks great.
But this new image? And its counterpart over at Collider?
We’re still in the “concept art” stage, so there’s no reason to get too high or too low. All I know is that this is the first time I’ve been worried in the least about this project, and this character’s large role in the Marvel movie universe, since Branagh was announced.
