Chris Hemsworth looks very Scandinavian (if I let my hair and beard grow you couldn’t tell us apart), Asgård doesn’t look like I imagined it, but that’s ok. I’m still not sure Anthony Hopkins is the right choice as Odin, but it’s very cool that he has accepted the role. Tim Hiddlesworth (Loke) looks very scheming and like a god that shouldn’t be trusted. Let’s not forget the last 20 seconds of the trailer featuring the Odin-forged suit of armor known as Destroyer. Thor better get a hold of his hammer pretty quick. Though I have a feeling we won’t see Destroyer until the end of the movie. It’s an obvious adversary for The Avengers.

But enough writing. Here is the leaked Thor movie trailer. (Watch it before it’s taken down again)

Leaked Thor Trailer Hits The Net – Watch It Before It’s Gone is a post from: The Inquisitr

In the picture you see Anthony Hopkins as Odin, Chris Hemworth as Thor and Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Some of the film takes part in Asgard (where the Norse gods live) and some of it in a town in New Mexico, as you might have seen in Ironman 2. All we know so far is that Thor banished from Asgard by his father, Odin. Kenneth Branagh is directing the movie, which is dure May 6, 2011.

Joe Johnston (who directed Jurassic Park 3 and The Wolfman) will direct “Captain America: The First Avenger”. He isn’t a big fan of 3D. I’ll let these quotes fom the LA Times explain.

“I think it tends to be overused and can be a little bit gimmicky,” said Johnston, who began shooting last week in London but will travel to San Diego for Marvel’s Comic-Con panel. “A lot of people are using 3-D now because they feel have they have to … that will come and go and the pictures that deserve to be in 3-D will continue to be. When it’s done bad, it can make you carsick.”

Johnston did a one-day test shooting with a 3-D rig — as opposed to shooting in 3-D and converting — and said it was “a nightmare” due to bulky gear, calibration issues and restricted filmmaking options. He said he’s a firm believer, though, in the conversion approach if done right and he’s enthused to move forward. “It’s a new challenge and it’s exciting,” Johnston said.

The last film that I’m looking very much forward to is “The Avenger” which probably will be directed by Joss Whedon (Firefly, Dollhouse and Buffy), where most of the superheroes from Marvel’s universe will meet using the original cast ie. Robert Downey Jr. as Ironman, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Edward Norton as Hulk. (Perhaps Adrien Brody or Joaquin Phoenix will play instead.) The movie is due in 2012.

The upcoming ComicCon will surely reveal a lot more details and perhaps a trailer?

What are your thoughts about 3D? Is it Hollywood’s way of ruining good movies or does it add anything?
