At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war.

    I think Geekstar is just trying not to get his hopes up.

    Yeah this one will be fun. As for Norton, he has a bit of a rep for making trouble on his movies, even before his role as Banner. I like him just prefer Eric Bana is all.

    I would have rather seen Chris Jericho play Thor than Triple H. At least Jericho has the proper c*cky fancy pants prince attitude that Thor needs.

    Hilarious @Fallen. Bruce Banner: Jericho, and Hulk: Big Show? LOL.

    Lol @Josh, they could have cast a wrestler for every superhero/villain in Avengers

    Captain America: John Cena
    Thor: Tripple H
    Iron Man: Ray somethingoranother
    Bruce Banner: Chris Jericho turns into Hulk: Big Show
    Loki: Randy Orton
    Red Skull: Shaymus

    Luckily Marvel isn't that dumb. Unfortunantly they are dumb enough to get rid of Nortan over petty differences. *sigh*

    @Diaigma Thor's hammer has always been like that, and we all know that what it lacks in size it makes up for its heaviness and use for lightning....I'm just saying

    yep its all coming together from that little ending scene from Iron Man 2 to Thor.... soo im guessing since SHIELD couldnt pick up the hammer they have created this place around it, like a facility....soo im guessing Thor takes place during Iron Man 2 ending scene with IM 2 is before this scene...Thor goes to NM breaks into(or walks into) the SHIELD facility and lifts it. and while he does this...in The Incredible Hulk we hear a large thunder that startles The Hulk hehehe ;)
