Two new official photos from superhero film
Thor have been released and features
Anthony Hopkins as Odin,
Chris Hemsworth as the title character and
Tom Hiddleston as Loki.
Along with the photos, Marvel Studios has also confirmed that
Thor will be made into 3-D.
“We came to feel that in our case 3-D could be the very good friend of story and character for a different kind of experience,”
Branagh said, taking a break from post-production. The filmmaker said the terminology of the 3-D process initially made him cringe — at first, it was “math and physics and way over my head,” he said with a chuckle — but then he started to pulse with the unexpected artistic opportunities.
“It's another draft of the story that can reveal itself in a different way,” he said. “I had a healthy degree of skepticism up front … I've become somebody extremely excited about working with possibilities of doing it this way.”
The site also spoke with Captain America: The First Avenger director
Joe Johnston, who also admitted he was initially skeptical of the process of 3D conversion.
“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.”

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.
The film is slated for release in theatres domestically on May 6, 2011 via Paramount Pictures which will also release the film on a worldwide basis.
