Covered by the first look at Warner Bros. "Green Lantern", and in addition to the Scanned photo, featuring Thor (Chris Hemsworth) & Odin (Anthony Hopkins), in the latest Entertainment Weekly issue Kenneth Brangh, the man who'll bring the God of Thunder to the big screen next summer, talks briefly about Mjolnir, Thor's mighty hammer, and complications with the suit.

And thanks to CBM contributor "Claybo4131", you can check out what was said below.

"The look of the hammer was the first conversation I had the day I started the job" director Kenneth Branagh said. "We had conversations about how the Hammer looked the night before shooting, during shooting, the look of the hammer and how to shoot it. We're still talking about the hammer."

The hammer by the way was the least of Chris Hemsworths worries with Branagh saying "Thor's suit was bloody hot for the first week they didn't have a cooling system in it. They had to add a t-shirt with water tubes sticking out." May look silly, but are you going to say anything to the guy holding a big hammer?

Including Kenneth Branagh and the main THOR cast, Marvel Studios will be delivering a panel just for the God of Thunder at the San Diego Comic-Con on the coming Saturday, July 24. And they are expected to reveal more info on the film, plus footage/trailer/clip from the highly anticipated movie.

In addition to this brief talk, EW provided a slightly updated synopsis.

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


Currently in Post-Production, "Thor" hits theaters May 6, 2011, in the infamous 3D!

@intruder thank you for being a voice of reason in this insane "competition" mentality... when will we realize that it isn't DC vs Marvel but CBM fans against the MF WORLD!!! there is only one "team" right now and hopefully we can all pull together when it counts!

EVERYBODY please go see EVERYBODY else's movies!!! oh and btw that includes inception... we ALL have chris nolan to thank for opening the studio chequebooks to CBMssss...

@ckal- That is unless it looks horrible (which neither Thor nor GL do). I'm thinking that most of the scenes necessitating helmets (i.e. battles) aren't ready yet due to the addition of cgi stuff.

Does Hemsworth have a hair piece? I think he does.

Yeah, Betty@, he's sportin' a nice weave at the
front there, it actually looks like the weave
covers his whole head!

Say Hollywood, how do I get one of those?
lol

We can not stress the importance of a helmet enough! What would a penis look like without it's helmet? An uninteresting pink stick, that's what! And if your "little Asgardian" has wings on its helmet, then it is a god amongst mortals!
