Battle for Asgard! Battle for Earth! Thor Odinson was about to become the king of Asgard...until the fearsome Frost Giants attacked. Seeking revenge, Thor and his companions journeyed into the frozen land of Jotunheim, which almost led to a brutal war between the realms. In order to teach his son a lesson, Odin Allfather stripped Thor of his power, took away his mighty hammer, and banished him to the realm of Midgard, also known as Earth. But all is not well. There is a traitor in Asgard, and Thor is trapped on Earth with no way to return home. Only Thor's faithful friends-the Lady Sif and the Warriors Three-can hope to save him and restore peace and order to Asgard. But who will save them...?
A Fallen Hero Must Find Himself... After his arrogance and irresponsible behavior ignite an ancient war, the mighty Thor is banished from his home, Asgard, by his father King Odin. Stripped of his powers, and without his mighty hammer, Mjolnir, the mighty warrior is forced to live on Earth among humans. But powerful forces are at work to ensure that Thor's punishment lasts forever and that he never returns to the realm of Asgard...even if it means sending an unstoppable weapon to Earth to destroy him and his newfound friends. Caught between two worlds, which home will the mighty Thor fight to save-Asgard or Earth? Or will he just fight to save himself?
A Chilling Evil Invades Asgard... Thor is about to be made king of Asgard by Odin Allfather, and the entire realm has come out to celebrate. Yet deep below the Throne Room, an ancient evil awaits. Its sights are set on a weapon so powerful that it could destroy all Nine Realms of the cosmos. Asgard's only hope is the mighty Thor-but can he survive against the frightening Frost Giants?
The Truce Is Broken! The mighty Thor was set to become king of Asgard until the evil Frost Giants attacked. Now, Thor and his faithful companions-Loki, Lady Sif, and the Warriors Three-will journey to the frozen realm of Jotunheim to confront these monsters once and for all. But will Thor get the revenge he seeks, or will the fearsome Frost Giants destroy them all?
Meet the mighty Thor! Warriors, gods, giants, and tricksters all live within the magical Nine Realms of the cosmos. Some are mighty heroes, while others are menacing villains. And now the people of Midgard-also known as Earth-can learn who is a helpful friend...and who is a frightening foe! Ride alongside the fabled Warriors Three and beware the icy grip of the Frost Giants!
Cast Your Eyes to the Sky... Beyond the stars and planets of the Milky Way exists a magical realm where mighty warriors fight with powers beyond imagination-and where evil lurks in every shadow. This is Asgard, home to the mighty Thor and peaceful Asgardians. Enter Heimdall's Observatory and journey, as Thor did, across the fabled Rainbow Bridge and into the land of Midgard, better known as planet Earth.
With a press screening supposedly set for today, while the junket is rumored for tomorrow,
