Thor Movie: News and Cameos

A few rumors are put to rest.

If there's one thing that Marvel does well in its films, it's the cameos. It's pretty fun to sit through the credits and see Nick Fury wonder into the room and chat it up with Tony Stark. Well, Gregory Littley, a creative director and branding consultant, had this to say on his Twitter page,

  Press shots should hit the 'net RIGHT around the timing/ release of #IRONMAN2. PS. It is THOR in the #IRONMAN2 trailer. 

There's been a bit of speculation to whether or not Thor was going to make a cameo in the film. In fact, it's even been shot down once or twice, but someone who seemingly works on the film has let the beans spill... on purpose. Does Thor actually have a part in this film, will Thor just be at the end of the credits, or will he just be in the background? We probably won't find out until Iron Man 2 comes out on May 7th. 
 
SlashFilm also found info from Chris Hemsworth about how he feels about how true the character Thor will be to the comics.

 Thor will satisfy fanboys and girls hoping to see the hammer-wielding superhero they’ve come to love from the Marvel comic book. I have the hammer, it’s pretty true to the comics. I have a long blond wig and a nice big red cape and all sorts of armor and interesting bits and pieces...  There’s so many different versions of the comic books , they’ve sort of bonded quite a few of them to form this particular story, but it’s all very true to the original stuff. 

Mjolnir and the costume are two things they need to make work, or the film could come off as dangerously cheesy.  A lot of us are beginning to become accustomed to the more realistic super-hero film, where there is a scientific explanation for everything, i.e. Dark Knight and Iron Man. So how will this film do? I think, if the writers and costume/set designers understand the book and the appeal it has, not only to comic book fans, but the appeal it could have to the rest of America, this could be a great film, and it sounds like, from the actor's perspective, that they have it dead on. 
 
We'll get our first look at Thor in Iron Man 2 on May 7th, but where and at what point of the film will we see him? How do you think Thor's cameo will fit into the Iron Man 2 film?

Personally, I'm looking for realism in this movie, but not too much of it. What I mostly expect realism from is the Earth parts of the film. But when it comes to Asgard and all of that, I say let the fantastical take over. It's a mystical realm of magic, not science. When Thor makes it to Earth, then it will be great to play off the magic/science contrast. It can link Thor to the Iron Man and Incredible Hulk realism of things, but keeping the uniqueness of Thor at the same time.  
 
I am definitely looking forward to this film. I think between Thor, Captain America, and the Avengers films, I'm mostly intrigued with the Norse god of thunder's movie.

Helmet or no helmet? 

And need story deets man! I need this. 
 
I am also more interested about this movie then the Cap. and Avengers movie. For now at least.

lokopron March 31, 2010 at 12:33 p.m.
well by what they have said, Thor is cast down to earth and he has attitude problems so maybe he was thrown in jail for causing problems while adjusting to earth life so then SHIELD can take a shot to convince him to join the avengers or something like that....I think it can work, I'm more worried for C. America and the cameos than the other movies =/

The movie should end with Fury Stark, Banner, and Thor standing together. Fury says there is one more person they need to recruit and he's holding Cap's shield

I am still, completely and utterly both angry and devistated that Enchantress isn't in this movie. >:S  WHY MARVEL? WHY?

If it is Thor in the trailer, does this mean Tom Pinchuk was right?
