It's not going to be released until around May 2011, but we are finally starting to see a little of the promotion for the new Thor movie from Marvel kicking into gear.
The God of Thunder is of course going to be played by Aussie Chris Hemsworth who is a pretty big boy at around six foot three and he will likely tower over Chris Evans who will play Captain America (Evans is the comparatively smaller 5'11") when they do the upcoming Avengers movie. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Take a look at the first trailer for Thor and tell me what you think:
As a longtime Thor and Marvel dude, I am not sure about the facial hair as I always picture Thor as being clean-shaven, but of course as he also based on Norse legend and can you really picture a viking without the beard? Still, a minor complaint at best. It looks like Hemsworth fits the bill.
He is still a relative newcomer to North American audiences although he does have a number of films under his belt, with the role of James T. Kirk's old man in the Star Trek movie being the most memorable to date. He is supposed to be in Red Dawn taking over Patrick Swayze's role as Jed and He is also going to be in Joss Whedon's The Cabin In The Woods, with both films are scheduled for 2011 release, so with Thor it looks like it will be a busy year for Hemsworth.
He and all the other Superheroes will of course gather for The Avengers which is still in "pre-production" which is code for scouting locations, re-writing, and waiting for the other actors and actresses to finish the projects they are currently filming before getting on with the movie.
There's a lot of hype building for The Avengers with all the stars already announced and groundwork being laid with Thor and Captain America movies being released to build a little back story for the big movie when they link up for the highly anticipated blockbuster in 2012.
