Thor: Everything We Know

This one could be a game changer...

The costume is medieval future tech-y...

Back in January, Marvel President Kevin Feige Marvel Pres had just seen the screen test for Thor’s superhero costume, and was massively stoked.

“To be honest the thing that I’m most excited about right now though, is the screen test we just finished for Thor,” he said.

“We’ve done some costume tests and watching the Asgardians walk onto the sound stage takes me back to that first time I saw the X-Men on the set all together in Toronto. Only it was unlike anything we’ve ever put on film before!

“It’s great to be starting the next decade in such an exciting way just as we did last decade. We’re really redefining the comic book genre and what a Marvel movie can be. It’s going to be great.”

Meanwhile, costume designer Deborah Ambrosino gave us an indication of what the suit will finally end up looking like.

“[It’s] strangely enough, very theatrical,” she says. “There is a lot of fantasy in the different worlds that Thor lives in. The characters that populate that world are fantastical but not superheroes, which is great… there is a heightened realism.”

The designer has also reportedly used her knowledge in metal smithing in order to forge armour and jewellery that will complement the costume’s leatherwork.

      I can not wait thor this. Everything sounds great so far! Thor is one of my fav marvel characters, so to see Chris Hemsworth in the suit for the first time was pretty amazing!

      MARVEL STUDIOS can do no wrong at the moment. Fox & Sony ought to take note on how to faithfully adapt MARVEL characters for the big screen.

      Kenneth Branagh is a perfect pick for this movie.

      The aesthetics in "Thor" sounds like it's going to look absolutely amazing. This is what I love about MARVEL STUDIOS. They respect and are true to the original source material. Their passion, their dedication and great work ethic in faithfully bringing their characters to the big screen without comprimise really sets them apart. Unlike Fox & Sony who have totally butchered the MARVEL characters they have undeservedly been privileged to work with .

      Whilst I'm a fan of Samuel L Jackson, I'm not a big fan of the "Ultimate" series at all. I would have prefered the original Nick Fury. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. :-)
