Ready To Get Pounded By THOR's Hammer??

Published at:  Jun 03, 2010 3:06:19 PM CDT


Merrick here...



Yesterday, we got our first look at one of Captain America's costumes from Joe Johnston's forthcoming film (HERE).

Collider now has some images of Chris Hemsworth as Thor from Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of, well, THOR. This nicely matches THE INTRODUCTORY HEADSHOT we glimpsed a few weeks back.

Click his hammer to EMBIGGEN it!



You can find another image of the hammer swinger
HERE.

Collider's THOR pics are clearly of the same ilk as the Cap images revealed yesterday. Some comments have been made that all of these images look like they've been processed in some way - i.e. they may be a somewhat constructed image and not literally an actor in costume. This assessment is, quite likely, accurate because it's concept art. Our understanding is that all of these pics (Cap and Thor) were generated internally by The Powers That Be as final design studies & what not - and/or as a means to better visualize/illustrate the characters for merchandising proposes, etc. I.e. they're real in the sense that they're as close as you can get to "real" photos, and are used officially in a demonstrative capacity.

Assuming/guesing we'll see full-on stuff as we approach ComicCon - mid Julyish, perhaps?

THOR clobbers us May 6, 2011.

    top half is cool but needs the helmet for chrissakes. the pants are like, well - the designers couldn't think of anything to do with them so they just watched X-Men.
    overall i say it's pretty so-so, and will reserve final judgment until i see it in the film. but come on, give us the helmet you clowns.

    no shit its not a physical costume

    by bouncy x

    you'd have to be pretty blind to not realize that for both this and the Captain America pictures. but its nice to see Thor is more or less confirmed by that picture of him released the other day. the costume seems modern-ish so i wonder if this is a different one he'll have in the real world and have something more "traditional" during the rest of the movie in his world. but he looks pretty cool, i'm sure some will whine over the most trivial things but yeah. and he looks fine without a helmet too so if they never have use it that works.

    As a concept artist who has done this kind of work before...

    by chewtoy

    They're most likely paintings with photographic details photoshopped into them and then further painted on top to blend all of the elements together to one cohesive style. While I'm not wild about the look here, I would suggest people not get too worked up over it as the true "look" of the costume on film won't be known until after post-processing. Take a look at the differences between that early "Expendables" footage and the trailer to see how significant the post-processing really is.

    This film will suck balls and will put a real big dent in the Avengers project. I've been wary of this project since they announced it, and this costume makes me think I am right.

    Iron Man's costume should be 100% high tech and glitzy, as it is. But a Norse god should not be stretched into spandex and rubber shit like that. He looks like Batman for cryin' out loud! He should look like a Viking!

    I'm calling it now - this will suck.

    by kevred

    It doesn't need to look just like the comic. But would it kill the designers to make something look, oh, vaguely ancient-Norse? Some visual element, somewhere on the costume? Instead of just a bunch of meaningless, random swoopy lines and little random angles which don't seem in any way tied to any place, time, or culture? And which seem to have to practical function?I'm still looking forward to this film more than any Marvel film, past or present. But what bums me out about this concept image isn't anything to do with faithfulness to the source - rather, a sort of timid lack of imagination or creativity. This outfit is full of design for design's sake. Whoever designed this has failed in imagination.

    Not Olden enough...

    by crazypants

    Using the explanation that the Asgardians are ultra technologically advanced extradimensional beings, which explains the superpowers and "magic" is fine, but they are very old beings - and the costume should reflect their ancient status a little more. Thor's boots in particular are so modern and engineered looking - like I can pick up a pair at a Kenneth Cole shop anywhere in the world - look at the soles for crissakes, ridiculous. The materials can be a bit more organic looking, because it wouldn't be a Earth cow that was slaughtered by an Asgardian for it's leather - it would be the hide of the terrible Icebeast or somesuch. That way the writers can explain why organic looking material is sturdy enough to withstand the punishment that Thor and the other gods can take.

    A lot of the commenters here are spot-on.

    by kevred

    Thor isn't part of the Matrix. He's a battle-hardened warrior, somewhat unrefined, more Valhalla than Van Heusen. He should look more like he just walked out of the Lord of the Rings films than something out of the Star Wars prequels.A lot of you guys have said it well, but I like fiester's phrase, "organic and medieval". That should be the phrase which comes to mind when we see Thor, not "evening wear" (which is sadly appropriate here).I really liked that head shot we saw a while back. But this image - and it's only one illustration, not the film - looks so painfully un-ambitious.Filming Thor is such an audacious prospect in itself that it can't be done in a less than audacious way. In a way, it's crazy that they're doing this at all. Which means they really need to go for it, unapologetically. I don't get that from this image.

    by spacelab

    This looks like the armour for NOVA or for some high-tech bounty hunter with a cape.

    The appeal of Thor was always that he was a God, a man out of time and place. A Frank Frazetta character interacting with the Marvel Universe.

    I would have liked to see more metal, leather, and things that look aged.

    This look is too futuristic for me. And will he wear a helmet at all?

    I love the Captain America design but this doesn't work for me.

    Looks like Thor 2099 or something.

    Ditko: I've not done any movie concept work.

    by chewtoy

    I work in the video game industry and have done images much like these for the modelers to follow. By combining photo sources with concept paintings and keeping things clearly and evenly lit, it helps to eliminate confusion on things like materials and the finer details. I merely brought this up to confirm Merrick's statement that the images appear that "they've been processed in some way" rather than being straight photographs or straight concept paintings. The post-processing comment is just an observation as a fan of films. When the early footage of "The Expendables" was posted here, I agreed with many others that it had a cheap, direct-to-video look to it. The same footage, after post-processing, looked great in the trailer. In the end, the costume may indeed look like ass on the screen. I'm not wild about it from these pictures, but I'll withhold judgment until it's lit and in the finished film.

    Constructive feedback from the Comicons?

    by cathy904

    I hope they take extended trailers to the San Diego and New York comicons, maybe constructive feedback can help it. I'd really like to see it succeed, or at least be entertaining. For "Ironman 2", Robert Downey Jr. was quoted as saying when they showed the first extended clips (I don't know where they were shown) there was very negative feedback to Tony Stark's ego mania, and the production was able to humanize his vanity before the film's release. Crossing fingers, I enjoyed the comic books as a kid and hope the movie can live up to them.

    Actually, almost no one here is bitching because it either does or doesn't look like the comic. We're bitching because it looks pretty lame and doesn't do the character justice.I like the old Thor look, but don't need the film to look that way. But I would like the film version to look, say, like a mighty Scandinavian war-god who's fought hand-to-hand with some of the baddest bad guys in the whole universe.Instead, it's the prince's outfit for the ball? A ST:TNG version of Thor? Little plastic doodads and leather slacks?Again, I'm looking forward to this film. And I still believe in Branaugh. But that doesn't mean the film's designers haven't gotten this all wrong.

    by chewtoy

    After throwing this in photoshop and dropping him on a black background, then painting a few simple shadows over it to make the lighting moodier, he looks pretty good. The top half is all that really matters... the details that pop out are the disks on his chest, and whatever highlights catch the edges of design elements. I doubt we'll see much of his legs regardless. (For instance, try to find a movie still from "The Dark Knight" where you can see his knees.) Admittedly, I don't think "Thor" would be as much of a nighttime flick, but unless he's clean, in broad daylight, and shot midrange but still full-body, I don't think we're ever going to see him looking like he does above.

    It was adapted enough to look a little less cartoony whilst keeping the spirit of Cap. Wings on a movie version Cap would have looked ridiculous.

DISLIKES Looks like a SUIT version of a Thor outfit, like you picked it up at Jos A Bank or something/ There is not much that looks like he is of NORSE Mythology except the Hammer and Hair/Beard/ Does not look like a God / And it's kinds similar in make to the Cap suit, which I am not sure I like too much anyway.

    the costumes

    by random09

    Thors is based on the current run Thor and features the helmet worn in those books. It looks much better in real life and certainly better than the attempt at authentic viking wear in the Incredible Hulk movie. Captain Americas is based on the Ultimate rendition of Cap, a realistic outfit for the 40's meant to be functional and a living symbol of freedom back when people were proud of the flag and country that was saving the world so check your politics at the door or don't bother going. The costumes are faithful to the material and if you're whining about it Juran Van der Sloot should be your premiere date.

    Be pretty cool if some Norse warrior found an indestructable alien artifact, tied a handle to it, and started smashing bitches over the head with it. We know it knows how to fall from the sky. It'd also explain the plastic pants. (No, wait, no it wouldn't.)

    for a pissy little hammer like that... MJOLNIRYDHSOR should be bigger like it has a bit of weight behind it. So when he starts swinging the fucker around he has to put in some effort.

    I was expecting...

    by maelstrom_zero

    ...something from LotR. Like, something Boromir wore in the Fellowship of the Ring--clothing that had been clearly been expensive and regal, but been worn down my constant use and years of travel. And more authentic looking, to boot.
    But then again, I think it's acceptable. I care less about the costumes and more about the acting--and considering that Branagh is essentially working in a field considered his forte, I'm hoping it'll turn out well.
    You know what REALLY bugs me though? It's the fact that the hammer is glowing like that. Yes, I know Mjolnir is supposed to throw out lightning and such, but that has to be one of the crappiest CS5 filter jobs I've seen in a supposedly high-class photo render. . .I mean, really now. It's just very distracting.

    Agree I was expecting something out of LOTR as well for Thor, well worn, and not looking like he is a gay biker. Absolutely no rubber.
    Cap I am less impressed with, but will hopefully lose some of the brown after WW2 scenes. As I and others have said Cap is not wearing camo colours, his outfit is meant to be symbolic not your typical soldier look.

    Should've had chain mail on the legs TOO

    by big dumb ape

    Well, first of all, he looks like a fucking pretty boy selling cologne without the helmet to rough him up a bit, considering that the actor did NOT bulk up in size for this thing.I'm not trying to bag too much on him, I'll wait to see how his performance is in the movie, but unfortunately once again this is a case where it becomes insanely hard -- unless you want to cast wrestling stars or something -- to find anyone who can actually FILL OUT a superhero costume properly. That said, I still would've liked it more if they V-shaped his chest armor to make him look more broad and heroic.As for the legs, they absolutely SUCK. They should have let the gray armor from the arms be his legs, and then you could have dipped allowed his top tunic to hang below the waistline -- at which point you would have basically done a modern Hollywood, armored version somewhat in line with Kirby's classic design.But no question about it: HE NEEDS THE HELMET.

    Thor is not some guy in leather swinging a hammer! He's a bigger than life GOD! He's got to have appropriately proportioned upper body. If you can't find a weightlifting hulk somewhere who can act, then you'd better go CGI. Look at the results that Burton got in Alice with cgi bods and live action heads.

    I'm not myself a fan, though i do admire their work. But the real Metallica fans in Portugal, who are really hardcore, most of them also think that their earlier stuff was much better then the new stuff. As for why this happend, why their later albuns aren't as good as the earlier ones, well, my answer is just, the dudes got older. They are no long hungry and angry young kids anymore. And groups like Metallica operate on youth anger and criticism of the system. It's like punk music, after a certain age, it became awkward to see this middle aged dudes trying to pretent they are still young turks rocking the system.If you ask me, the greatest quality a rock group can have is to know when to quit while they are still ahead.

    Yeah but...they released the Pic, right?

    by cptcrybaby

    If this is conceptual then I'm sure they want some feedback. Not just a bunch of yessies suckin' up. They need to break out some old-school-how-tos on proportions for super hero types. Cap and IM are men so they should sport top-of-the-line human physiques. But Thor, as a god, needs to be head and shoulders over humans AND have freakishly broad shoulders with massive arms. He could NEVER sit in an automobile. He has to stoop and turn sideways to get through a door. He's nowhere near as big as Hulk but he's got to look like he can hang with Hulk in a dustup. (which he can--and then some) Here's another tip for the micro-minds of studio marketing: Don't shoot a promo pic of a hero using a down angle. It immediately diminishes the character. I'M looking down on Thor? Really? How did that happen? I don't even work out. Shoot them with an up angle and make them look bigger than life. Idiots! Now on a completely unrelated note: moonlightdrive made an excellent point: What super-baddie could stand up to the proposed Avengers team? Galactus, maybe?

    The problem with most conceptual photos from the movie's design is that they do not simulate the cinematography the movie will have. Thus, most of those promotional photos do not reflect how things will look like. And that, for me, is a mistake.

    Death Magnetic

    by rogueleader66

    Was, IMO, a brilliant return to form for Metallica. Then again, I am one of the few that thought St. Anger, while horribly produced, was a good Metallica album as well. Load and Re Load were venturing into very plain territory (although Fuel is classic Metallica) they at least went back to the aggressive sound that made them. My Apocalypse (from Death Magnetic) is one hell of a kick ass tune, if you have not heard it, give it a listen.

    ...we wouldn't get stupid X-Men-style costumes like this. There are probably actual costumes from Branaugh's Henry V that would be more appropriate than this (and I say that with great respect for that great film).Why would it be so hard to make him look like an actual warrior, someone who's had to fight trolls, giants, demons, and the like? Regardless of any costume details, he should look more like Aragorn than Magneto.With any luck, this outfit will just be the Thor equivalent of James Bond's tuxedo - a "signature" look, but something he only wears for small amounts of time.

    now the earlier photo makes sense no bottom !!!

    by paulyd30

    OMG the bottom half looks terrible where is the chain mail legs like the comics. The chest peice looks too much like armor and not enough fabic like the comics. Castig is all wrong where the hell is Triple H bitches. Even the punisher in the first movie had more guns than this bitch

    ...this is an outfit created for him by Stark Enterprises in the modern day.
    I'll bet 1000 quatloos that this isn't his Asgardian outfit.

    I hope the entire Thor movie..

    by malificus

    ..takes place in Asgard with the all-mighty Odin, and Baldar, the Warriors Three and Sif and Loki and the Golden Gates and Rainbow Bridge, the whole magilla. The only way Thor can be taken seriously is if he's established as the God of Thunder in a mythical/mystical setting first, have him battle some frost giants, maybe a throw down with Ulik, and then at the very end a betrayal by Loki that makes Odin banish him to earth. Only then, after Thor has become a believable character in context can you bring him down into the modern world and make him stick. I know nothing about the script, but I pray it is so, or close.
    Sweet outfit though, looks like the Ultimates Thor and I never had a problem with that take tho Jolly Jack's soap-opera-dramatic bit will always be the Thor of my youth and my absolute favorite, same as the FF.

    Norse god or the new replacement for Zigried and Roy?

    by the wraith

    This costume doesn't look very Norse and where's his helmet? He may need it in case one of his white tiger's tries to bite his head off in the middle of his act. Are wings out this year? The concept drawing for Captain America's costume wasn't sporting any either.

    No, the movie also takes place on Earth. Natalie Portman, for instance, plays a definatly human character.

    Well, yes, the songs in IRON MAN 2 were alright, but they were a bit overwhelming. I can't help but find songs in movies overwhelming. The only cases when such might not happen, is when songs are specifically composed for the movie. Or when you really have a genious director making the movie, like David Lynch partnered with Trent Raznor in LOST HIGHWAY. That movie is one of the rare cases of excelent use of already existing songs in a movie. But then again, David Lynch was always very careful and very good in the use of sound and music in his movies.

    Sempre bom ver os geeks portugueses aqui representados por mais gente por aqui, heh. Em Coimbra há visitantes do site mas não estão é registados aqui. Temos um blog nerd, o Tá Quinas. Visita-o e se quiseres continuar a conversa em português diz qualquer coisa na shoutbox. O debate sobre estes desenhos também anda por lá. Cumprimentos!

    O que é que estás a fazer online quase às quatro da manhã? O que é que eu também estou eu aqui a fazer? Ah, é verdade, a curtir uma ressaca de Southern Confort. Excelente bebida, mas forte!Já descobri o teu blog, o Tás Quina!!! Está fixe! Discordo é de uma coisa, eu acho que o LOST é uma porcaria, tal como todas as merdas feitas pelo JJ Abrams ou a ele associadas. Não posso com esse palhaço! A serie de televisão que eu acho que é totalmente "nerd cool" é o CHUCK. Esse é que é!

    Quanto a Lost, olha são gostos. Mas se não gostas do Abrams, aconselho-te a ver o M:I3 que é para mim o mais fiel à série televisiva. O Chuck vejo esporadicamente e acho piada. e quanto a estar acordado...demasiado trabalho!Bem, vou dormir. See ya

    Pelo contrário, ahcei o MI:3 ainda mais insuportável. O raio do filme é uma autêntica carta de amor do tom Cruise a ele mesmo. Nessa altura nem sabia quem era o Abrams e etestei o filme! Nenhum ods filmes da Missão Impossivel com o Tom Cruise foram fieis à série de televisão, mas o último filme é uma autêntica auto-felação.

    Tenho que discordar. A mecânica da equipa onde cada elemento tinha a sua função na missão (um elemento estruturante da série original) tem em MI3 muito maior destaque que nos anteriores. Brian DePalma manda a equipa toda para as urtigas nos primeiros mintos do filme e

    ...John Woo só se interessa em filmar a sequela em slow-motion onde o Cruise, aí sim, faz o one-man show. O foco do terceiro filme está em Cruise claro, mas a importãncia dos restantes elementos não é diminuida. O Seymour Hoffman faz um vilão excelente e o pacing do filme é a meu ver irrepreensível. O grande defeito a apontar para mim será o final que é tão cheesy que até dói.
