Sure, Iron Man 2 has not been released to theatres yet (this Friday, woo!), but that doesn’t mean Marvel can’t flaunt their next venture into the world of their next super hero flick. That is Chris Hemsworth who will play Thor the thunder god. Marvel shares this short but sweet synopsis for you to chew on:
The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, 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.
Thor also stars Tom Hiddleston, Natalie Portman, and Anthony Hopkins. Kenneth Branagh directs. It’s scheduled to release May 6, 2011.
Update: Go see Iron Man 2 and sit through the end of the credits for a nice little treat!
