From slashfilm, I’d like to see a full shot of Hemsworth, including the hammer, the helmet, and some lightning just for good measure. But as a first taste this is pretty good. And it’s a sign that, while Iron Man has represented the lighter side of the Marvel equation, Thor is likely going to be a more serious, brooding affair. Hopefully not too much so, but the film is about a guy learning humility, after all.
Here’s ye olde synopsis again, in case you’ve already forgotten what Thor is about. The film opens on May 20, 2011.
The film follows the mighty Thor (Chris Hemsworth), a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth by his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and is forced to live among humans. A beautiful young scientist, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), has a profound effect on Thor, as she ultimately becomes his first love. It’s while here on Earth that 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.

I think it's good they went with this moody image since Thor is so ridiculous. Even if the costume is a Matrixified version, it still has a big red cape and assumedly a winged hat.
It's funny to me that the slashfilm guy is calling Iron Man a counterpoint to Thor. Iron Man's shtick seems a lot more grounded to me than anything involving thunder gods.
True dat.
It was hilarious how Stan Lee and Jack Kirby just sort of said, you know, "Oh, and the entire Norse pantheon of pagan gods is real, by the way." Just another detail about the Marvel universe.
