"First, we looked at the comic books and the posturing, the way Thor moves and fights, and a lot of his power seems to be drawn up through the ground," the actor told MTV News in a recent interview.

"We talked about boxers, you know, Mike Tyson, very low to the ground and big open chest and big shoulder swings and very sort of brutal but graceful at the same time, and then as we shot stuff things became easier."

"The costume's pretty limiting with the movement, so I had a lot of things to work around!"
