"I put the costume on for the first time and had the camera test and Anthony Hopkins was there with me," he told MTV News in an interview at Comic Con. "We looked at each other and he said, 'God, there's no acting required here, is there?'"

"It sells the picture and you can't feel like anything but that character when you put that thing on. There's a very iconic sort of moment for myself putting it on but a lot of people who have been involved with the comics and the stories for years just said, 'Wow, this is it.'"

"There were a few different versions for different shots — the closeup one, and the stunt one," he said when question about Mjolnir, Thor's magical hammer. "The main one was very heavy, a beautifully polished, metal, wood, leather-looking thing. It was an impressive thing. You feel naked without it after holding it for a while."

"That was the transition of coming to Earth, as Thor minus his powers and costume was very much a fish out of water. It probably helped for the story, because he's meant to feel that way."

There are people with the trailer. I saw several ppm trying to film it on the interior seats. The NVG Nazis would've had a hard time seeing them.

I wonder if Branagh will direct Thor 2 and Thor 3? I guess it's a bit early to be thinking about that, but I don't like the thought of anyone else being put in charge of this series.
