Well, here it is folks, your first look at Chris Hemsworth as Thor in director Kenneth Branagh’s big screen adaptation of the Marvel comic. It’s been a long time coming, but it’s nice to see we’re finally going to be getting some info on this movie, especially in visual form.
Although there is only one picture, we can tell a bit about the film from it. In it we see a bearded Thor wearing his traditional outfit and looking a bit angry. The pic looks pretty good and Hemsworth seems to look the part, complete with beard. Although, no winged helmet and no Mjohnir but still, cool.
It also seems that Branagh and his team are taking the film pretty seriously as the costume doesn’t look cheesy and the lighting, at least in this still, looks quite dramatic. I realize this is a lot to get from one picture but if you’ve been doing this very long you start to get a sense of things like this. My sense? This movie is gonna be cool.
Check out the full photo after the jump. Thor hits theaters on May 20, 2011. How about you guys, this look work for you?

May 4, 2010 at 1:36 pmChris is amazing. He had one of the most moving scenes I have ever seen in Star Trek. I could have went home after that and been satisfied. he is great. I’m not sure what you saw hi in that would deem you to say he isn’t a great actor, but I hate to disappoint, but there is no way anyone would recast this late in the film, and for certain they would not replace such a fine actor.

May 1, 2010 at 4:00 pmThis picture shook me up a little , seeing the costume on him even that small piece,hit me in the gut. I obviosly have high hopes for the film mostly because of kenneth braunagh’s background in shakesphere and the language used in the early thor comics. if any director can pull off the grand scale and epic feel of the might thor and his world he can.
