The LA Times recently talked to Kenneth Branagh, director of the highly anticipated
THOR, not long ago and he was genuinely excited about his first trip to Comic-Con and the chance to stand up into front of the Hall H audience as part of the Marvel program.
"Because of what I've heard, I can't wait... the celebration and the incredible energy and enthusiasm and knowledge and passion for everything that goes on there. I'm excited to be part of that and I feel privileged to be able to go and take look. I'm keen to see that passion and enthusiasm."
With tongue-in-cheek -- at least I think it was tongue-in-cheek -- Feige said he might hit the stage with a sartorial nod to the Con's cosplay traditions. "I'm looking forward to seeing how people are dressed... Kevin and I are not prepared to reveal what costume we'll be wearing but obviously I've insisted that we all must wear one." Included in the
LA Times article is a higher quality, toned, version of the photo revealed yesterday of Thor(Chris Hemsworth) kneeling before Odin (Anthony Hopkins) on the throne, plus Frigga(Rene Russo), Loki(Tom Hiddleston), Hogun(Tadanobu Asano), Fandral(Joshua Dallas), and behind him the big maroon foot of Volstagg(Ray Stevenson).

Many instantly assumed that this scene involved Thor's banishment to our world. But according to
AICN blogger "IndustryKiller!", who is the same source that provided costume descriptions for
Thor & Loki, plus the
Warriors Three ahead of time. (And by looking at this new image, hes pretty accurate.) "IndustryKiller!" says...
It's Thor's coronation, not banishment...and it's interrupted by some very cold visitors. When asked if it were cold-blooded Frost Giants, "IndustryKiller!'s simple response:
;)... meaning hes Happily winking.
I bet you can guess who could be responsible for this "interruption" of Thor's crowning...hmm. Anyhow in just five days Marvel Studios will be presenting tons of info, images, and footage involving
THOR and
Captain America, at this year's San Diego Comic-Convention.
And
THOR hits theaters in the infamous 3-D, May 6, 2011.
