Directed by Kenneth Branagh, 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.

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.

I'm glad he is black. If the Norse gods are REALLY gods, and they are the creators according to their own myths, then they made everybody. It's not really relevant than what some groups of worshippers believe about them. It's like when people in China depict Buddha as being ethnically Chinese, or Christians with a blonde blue eyed Jesus. people adapt images to suit their own cultural preferences.
