Comment RSSGlimpse Of Thor, And Villain
10.05.10 # News # 8 Comments
Here’s the first official look at Chris Hemsworth in costume as Marvel’s Thor:
It’s way more rubber-suity than expected. I thought it would be fabric and metal, like something Weta would do, not like Batman. The design however, is very good. And it’ll probably be cool in motion. And we’ve yet to see the helmet.
And Latino Review got their hands on a shot of one of the foes that The Mighty Thor will go up against in the forthcoming Marvel movie. That villain is the Destroyer. Take a peek:
Pretty on-the-nose with the design there. In fact, it’s way more faithful than I’m sure many fans were expecting. It’ the kind of design that the production could have easily deviated from without incurring much wrath, which bodes well for their fidelity to the source material. It’s also probably the most Kirby-like thing to ever be in a live action movie (what with Rise of the Silver Surfer robbing us of the awesomeness of Galactus.
Marvel tell the origin of The Destroyer thusly:
The Destroyer was created, by the command of Odin, as a weapon to use against the mighty Celestials. The task was taken on by the finest craftsmen of Asgard, and once finished Odin, Zeus, and all other leading Earth gods transferred a portion of their power into the construct which gave it superhuman strength and energy manipulating powers. Odin then had the Destroyer sealed within a temple within a plateau hoping it would be out of reach of any would use its tremendous powers for evil until the purpose it was designed for could be implemented.
It’s basically an animated suit of armour, and Thor going up against it should help with the perceived difficulty in transitioning to standing alongside Iron Man in future adventures.
So what do you think? Cool looking? Dumb looking? Reserving judgement until you see them motion?

Hemsworth looks pretty good – better than I thought he would.
Though I agree about the “rubbery” look to the suit.
I don’t think it would be a Thor movie, without Odin’s destroyer construct making an appearance.
I’ve been a Marvel Thor fan since 1962 and also a long time Marvel fan fiction writer:

Thor needs his rubber suit, or else his lighting is going to strike him instead, Muhahahaha, lol. And if destroyer is made of magical metal, I bet thor’s magical lightning is going to fry it.
Those images look great. Not sure about the Destroyer’s slippers though.
The reason I’m excited about Thor is its “magical”/supernatural nature. Its either going to be awesome or just not work at all.
The Destroyer looks intimidating. Good job not screwing that up like Fantastic Four screwed Galactus. I don’t know much about Thor, but I’m getting excited about this movie and I may grab a few comics before it’s released. Any suggestions on where to start, David Scholes?
Slippers, ha!
The destroyer looks like something out of the power rangers
See? This movie does look good.And people were doubting Chris Hemsworth.That’s laughable.
The Thor costume looks too much like a costume. When did gods put on rubber. This better be good. Its needs to look aggressive more complicated not like something I can get for sale at a Halloween store.
It would of been nice to see “The Wrecker” and the “Wrecking Crew”! To make a good superhero movie, the villians have to be just as good. I actually want a villian movie!! They win too!!!
