First Look at Kenneth Branagh’s THOR

The Playlist has new info on THOR including a first look at Anthony Hopkins in costume as Odin. As good as he looks, it reminds me of Hopkins role, “Hrothgar” in BEOWULF. OK, maybe.

Synopsis:

Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior, is sent down to Earth has punishment for reigniting a reckless war. But after a dangerous villain from his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth, the hammer-wielding Thor will learn what it takes to be a true hero in order to save mankind.

The Playlists says:

The film is an origin story of sorts with Thor meeting scientist Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), falling in love and then reckoning with the forces of Asgard when they invade Earth. The cast for Kenneth Branagh’s film is pretty great with Tom Hiddleston (his evil brother Loki), Jaimie Alexander, Colm Feore, Stellan Skarsgard, Ray Stevenson, Tadanobu Asano, Idris Elba, Kat Dennings, Rene Russo and Adriana Barraza joining Hemsworth, Portman and Hopkins. And yeah, Samuel L. Jackson will probably show up as Nick Fury somewhere in there.

Here’s Entertainment Tonight’s visit to the set of THOR. Shooting of the film wrapped on April 22nd.

From Paramount Pictures, THOR is scheduled to be in theaters next spring on May 6, 2011.
