Keri Collins Revisits the Set of Marvel's Thor!

I WANT PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thor is utter brilliance, Ironman is pure entertainment, Captain is now definate Crap, and Green Lantern is epic sci fi exellence. 2011 is our greatest year cheers to a great time to come exculding Craptain America.

At least give us a glimpse at Mjolnir!! Throw us a bone already!

The day we see a trailer with all the characters, will be a memorable day for nerds and fanboys around the world.

im starting to lose faith in this and cap i really hope im wrong but im tired of being lied to i can only count on ironman 2

joe johnston never said he wasn't a fan of the character. he said he's not a big fan of comics; which, to me, is a breath of fresh air... not lying like a lot of these other people are.

WHATS THE COSTUME LOOK LIKE?????????

Give us a pic or something... come on!

Ryden: Where did he say that? I've read pretty much every word that's been said and I don't recall him saying anything close to that.

You guys seem to be confusing 'official' news with the rumour mill and/or reading stuff into things which have never been said officially (like the silly casting rumours, on which Marvel and Johnston have said not a word).

Officially we've heard very little and what we have heard is all good - that it's a period piece with the Invaders being a major part of it.

Some of you are reacting like hysterical tweens to the merest rumour, no matter how silly. Get a grip and hold back your reactions until we see something official.

Branagh was not a fan of the comics at all btw - he had never read them until he got the gig and then went in deep. Same with RDJ. Nolan wasn't a comics fan either, but he did an ok job too...

I'm glad that this is shaping up to be good because I've pretty much lost ALL interest in The First Avenger: Captain America after the awful casting rumours of late!

Guys, check out my BLADE Fan Cast!!! Just click the link!!!

@JoshW: Why are you losing interest because of silly rumours? Don't read them if they annoy you. Because you're here, I assume you WANT to see a Captain America movie, so why let silly gossip (because that's all it is) ruin your excitement and anticipation?

It's going to be like this for every Marvel movie from now on - ever since Iron Man (which kind of came in under the radar as far as the Hollywood gossip circuit was concerned) hit big, any future tentpole Marvel movie will garner exactly this kind of speculative casting and story gossip - most of which we've seen from experience is total BS. So why let the BS interfere with your possible enjoyment? It just seems like cutting off your nose to spite your face...

Here's a bag of salt - take one pinch a day. ;)

Yeah what Teabag said. An understanding of the material and what makes the characters so loved is obviously important, but a director can make a great CBM without being a fan of the comic beforehand.

By the way, all of these movies could suck balls! ..or be great. The only one we have seen any footage of is Iron Man.. everything else about the rest of em is up in the air until we see the same for them.

@JoshW: Johnston has had more hits than Favreau did, Branagh has less experience on blockbusters than he has (being more theatrically minded for the most part), and LeTerrier had an even less impressive CV than any of them.

Marvel didn't release that shortlist btw so who are the "they" you refer to? Nobody who matters... And the only thing we've heard about it since are that most of them WON'T be playing Cap, so if anything, it's only showing its INvalidity. It might have been true that some/all of them put themselves forward for the role, but as I mentioned in the Jonas Bros. thread, it's hardly surprising that everyone and his dog want a piece of the action, but it actually means nothing.

I assume/hope/trust that Marvel know what they're doing (the EVIDENCE based on actual track record seems to indicate they do, which is a little more compelling than supposition, gossip and rumour) and therefore base my 'expectations' on the evidence so far and not getting my panties in a wad over idle gossip and speculation.

Every single word that has actually come from Johnston seems to indicate he has a good handle on Cap. It's only the 'reading between the lines', the character assassinations based on his CV and gossip that people seem to be focusing on, which, imo, is premature at the very least.

My position on him is "wait and see". Hey, if it turns out to be as crap as you are certain it will be, then you're welcome to say "I told you so", but until then, I'll keep taking my salt and retaining a positive, hopeful outlook. I just find life healthier that way :)

I've dealt with disappointments before (FF, SR, Wolverine, etc.), but I see no point in being miserable/down about stuff that hasn't happened yet.

@JoshW: fair enough - I would just personally like to see a more level-headed perspective about all the rumour and gossip and a little more positivity in general.

I'm old and :ahem: wise enough to know that "next year will probably be as crap as this/last year", but as a general outlook in life, that kind of attitude will make one a pretty dour person to be around. ;)

It's not naivety that gives me a positive outlook, it's a refusal to let cynicism take over and colour my perspective unduly.

@cindy- SPAAAAAAAAAMMMMMM!
But I like what I'm hearing about the thor movie coming out so far. This had better not be one of those {BLEEP}-tease movies that gets a lot of build up with hype and then gets a crappy, non-fan reverent trailer/ good trail - bad movie treatment.
