14 New THOR Photos Are Here

Okay, Looks like the fine folks at Marvel and Paramount Studios have released some new photos from the upcoming film. Of course you all know that THOR will be in theaters in May 6, 2011. Course you do! Up above we have a shot of our thunder god (Chris Hemsworth) in a rare peaceful moment with his sneaky half-brother Loki, the god of mischief (Tom Hiddleston). Check your back, Thor! Loki might’ve stuck a “banish me” sign on the back of your red cape! Down below we have the magical armoured destroyer facing down Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) and the forces of S.H.I.E.L.D. somewhere in the New Mexico desert. Hey Coulson, this is not one of Stark’s!

Speaking of banishment, below is a shot of the all-mighty father Odin ( Anthony Hopkins ) using Thor’s hammer to expell him from Asgard.

Tough to tell on this next one. I believe it’s Thor and his fellow warriors about to defend Asgard from the Frost Giants.

Below, it appears that the Destroyer is approaching the sleepy little desert town where Thor has landed.

Is Loki holding a dark magic device that will help him take over all the worlds?

And here’s the majestic guardian of the Rainbow Bridge, Heimdall played by Idris Elba.

And another shot of Loki, no doubt plotting again!

Showdown on main street! Thor marches defends his adopted home against the Destroyer.

A bit of beefcake! Hurling that hammer really bulks a guy up!

A rare quiet moment between Thor and Dr. Jane Foster (Natalie Portman).

If you bump into some giant trolls, better hope she’s got your back. The beautiful swords-woman, Sif (Jaimie Alexander).

Dr. Foster behind the wheel.

Here’s Professor Andrews (Stellan Skarsgard) and Darcy (Kat Dennings) back at the research facility.

Synopsis:

Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment present the epic adventure, THOR, which spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is the mighty Thor (Chris Hemsworth), a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth by his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and is forced to live among humans. A beautiful, young scientist, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), has a profound effect on Thor, as she ultimately becomes his first love. It’s while here on Earth that Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.

Directed by Kenneth Branagh, THOR stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo, Stellan Skarsgard, Jaimie Alexander, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Josh Dallas, Tadanobu Asano, Idris Elba, Clark Gregg, and Colm Feore. THOR will be in theaters in May 6, 2011.

Here’s a fun bit of trivia! IMDB lists Eric Allan Kramer in the cast for this film. In 1988 Kramer played Thor in the NBC made-for-TV movie “The Incredible Hulk Returns” starring Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno. Visit the film’s official site here and on Facebook.
