New Photo: Thor and His Hammer



Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment present the epic adventure, “Thor,” which spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is 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.

That picture is somehow hilarious. First of all, the hammer looks too small. Second of all, is it stuck? And what is that it's stuck in? A pile of lint?

i was thinking the same thing about it being stuck. it made me think it was some arthurian sword-in-stone kind of thing. whoever manages to pull the hammer of mjolnir out of the lint pile gets to be thor for the rest of the movie.

any schlub with a rock drill could do it.

From slashfilm, "For those of you who don’t know, after the hammer fell to Earth from the heavens, no one was able to move it. They build a base around it, and in the still, Blake is trying to pick up the hammer but Mjolner doesn’t yet deem him worthy."

Yeah, I know it's poorly written.

Poorly written and poorly executed - that picture is totally hilarious. And I'm pretty sure that is not what they were going for!
