First Look: Chris Hemsworth as Thor

Well, yesterday we were given our first promotional image of former 'Home and Away' star Chris Hemsworth as the Marvel comics incarnation of Thor, and here it is.



My personal thoughts: thank the All-Father they went with the new Olivier Coipel design of Thor's costume. Call me old fashioned, but the sleeveless number made famous in yesteryear just wouldn't have worked on the big screen. It's a shame we don't get to see Thor's helmet though, like Mjolnir and his cape, Thor's helmet is an integral part of the costume. The chainmail sleeves look great, but i'm not crazy about the stubble. Thor, generally, has always been clean shaven but we'll have to wait and see what Kenneth Branagh has in store for us.

'Thor' will be released in cinemas next year along with 'Captain America: The First Avenger', as Marvel Studios charge towards the much anticipated 'Avengers' movie.
