Principal photography on next year's "Thor" movie recently began and we're now proud to show the first official photo of star Chris Hemsworth on set as the mighty Thor!

In "Thor," Chris Hemsworth portrays the title character with Tom Hiddleston in the role of Thor’s brother Loki, and Natalie Portman as Jane Foster.  Additionally, the studio has cast Academy Award® winning actor Anthony Hopkins as Odin, Renee Russo as Frigga, Ray Stevenson as Volstagg, Tadanobu Asano as Hogun, Josh Dallas as Fandral, Jaimie Alexander as Sif, Idris Elba as Heimdall, as well as Colm Feore, Kat Dennings and award-winning actor Stellan Skarsgård.  The film is slated for release in theatres domestically on May 6, 2011 via Paramount Pictures which will also release the film on a worldwide basis.

The epic adventure "Thor" spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard.  At the center of the story is 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" is from a screenplay by Ashley Edward Miller & Zack Stentz and Don Payne and a story by J. Michael Straczynski and Mark Protosevich.  Marvel Studios’ President Kevin Feige will produce the film.  Alan Fine, Stan Lee, David Maisel, and Marvel Studio’s Co-President, Louis D'Esposito, will executive produce.

In addition to "Thor," Marvel Studios is also scheduled to release a slate of films based on the Marvel characters including "Iron Man 2" on May 7, 2010, "The First Avenger: Captain America" on July 22, 2011, and "Marvel Studios' The Avengers" on May 4, 2012.

i agree i don't mind a couple of changes when it comes to the super heros. even if they don't sync up with the comics they are still good and me personally think that most marvel movies are great. so i keep an open mind about the movies and enjoy them to. i mean a couple of films i didn't agree with myself but hey a few comics have been the same way, thats the way art and creativity goes you ...

I really hope this movie will be epic cause I been hearing people talk bad about this movie and they have never look at a comic before they just think it's dumb cause he is a god and he doesn't need to be fighting with Iron Man so this movie better be good or noncomic book readers will just talk bad about this movie like they did in F4 films and SPIDER-Man 3 movie and will just give them reason...
