Late last week Marvel Studios and Paramount released the very first photo of Chris Hemsworth in costume as the mighty Thor. The Blot was very leery when Marvel first announced they would be making a live action Thor move, but does Hemsworth look great as the Norse God of Thunder or what? I am shocked they chose to use Thor’s modern look (designed by Olivier Coipel) over his more traditional look, but as long as he’s got his winged helmet I’ll be a happy comic book fan.
Thor stars Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Anthony Hopkins as Odin and Natalie Portman as Jane Foster. Thor is scheduled to premiere in theaters on May 6, 2011.
