This is one Marvel movie I'm just purely excited to see. The cast just keeps on getting better and better, which makes me wonder how good the could be.

DUDE,, I told everyone that would be who Hopkins would be. And I am not sure who Chris Hemsworth is. But even more so, that comic in the post above... I OWN...... lol,, the comic story then was how Thor was told by Odins eye that was lost, how Asguard when through Ravok, which is the end of days,, but it was reborned. Irnoicly when the story ends, it shows that the burning ruin of the old Asguard was the bright star when Jesus was born..

That's a first, never expected him to do this sort of thing. I guess his agent talked him into it.
Actors that retire always comes back, unless they are hated.

I don't know... thought Hollywood could screw this up big time. I'll go with Chad on this one. Even with a good story, it looked bad for getting asses in seats that weren't into the comics, but you throw that many names in it... it's going to be hard to ignore.

Now, I thought this guy said he was retiring after Wolfman. He's as bad as Brett Farve.

I have faith in Hemsworth, and Hopkins should make this a great film. Natalie Portman is a dish, too.
