Courtesy of my pal 'RealIronMan' from SpiderMedia, we have a new still from Marvel's Kenneth Branagh-directed THOR movie. While we've seen this key member of the Warrior's Three in action, via teaser trailers, this new still offers a first full look at Hogun the Grim (Tadanobu Asano) in costume.




Look for the epic tale of THOR in theaters May 6, in 3D!

Like the look. It's a nice blend of the Asian/Asguardian look.

It's funny how everyone points out that having a black guy play Heimdall is inconsistent with Nordic Mythology, yet no one thinks twice when an Asian warrior is thrown into the mix:)

@ Adamwest and that's how you can tell the biggots from the usual [female dog]ing fanboys.

@adamwest lol good point lol either way shouldn't really matter the movie should still be good

@adamwest, the reason no one was upset about an asian being cast is because Hogun is not an Aesir, and has always been portrayed as being somewhat mongolian looking. Heimdall, on the other hand, has always been portrayed as white. So no, fans who complain about Heimdall are not being hypocritical here.

Can't blame me for wondering

Adamwest - Everyone is MISSING THE POINT! These aren't the 'Nordic Gods', these are interdimensional beings with whom the primitive Norse people MISTOOK as 'gods'! In that context, a 'black guy' playing Heimdall and an 'Asian warrior' playing Hogun CAN exsist and make PERFECT SENSE! PEOPLE, come off your high horses! From what I've seen so far, this is shaping up to quite possibly be... the GREATEST COMIC BOOK MOVIE EVER MADE!

Yeah, I said it - so what? Remember, I said it first!

IM COOL WITH WHAT THEY DID, IM THINKING HE WANTED TO KEEP NOTICEABLE THINGS ABOUT THE CHARACTER BUT NOT GET IT SO INTO A SPECIFIC EARTH CULTURE, BUT MORE OF ITS OWN ASGARDIAN THING..




HE KEPT THE MACE AND HE KEPT HIM ASIAN, IM COOL WITH THAT.

@adamwest: I complained about the black guy, but I don't know who Hogun the Grim is. For all I know he could be asian in the comics which wouldn't give me the right to complain.
EDIT: apparently he is asian in the comics. Looking at Intruders post. Therefor why would people complain.
jazzman
jazzman - 2/18/2011, 4:23 PM
@golden123

but yet the idoit who created Boycott Thor website dont like the idea of a Black and Asian actors starring in Thor

@grif

yes his from the comics
Exiles
Exiles - 2/18/2011, 4:23 PM
@golden123 because some idiots think this is straight adaption of norse mythology when its not its adapting the comic where asgardians are not GODS.

Hogun the Grim is a badass long as he has attitude from the comics doesn't really matter what his costume looks like. And its funny how people can complain about something with out actualy knowing anything about marvels version of Thor

@Jazzman Agreed dude, there not complaining because they care about the comic there just complaining to stir shit up

@kurekurcubic

the guy was already going to be huge his performance in "Mongol" as Genghis Khan prove he was going to be a star

@Exiles

It's nice to see someone has a BRAIN on this site (and an open mind too.)

I think Hogun is a nod to the Huns, which are a well known to norse mythology. Attila aka Atli (Etzel) plays a minor role in the Saga from Sigurd(Siegfried) the Dragonslayer as the second husband of his widow, Gudrun. So, a hunnic warrior in a norse setting is totally in-mythology.

I'm not surprised by all the ignorant comments people make. I've worked in the restaurant industry for 22 years. The stupidity and ignorance of the human race no longer surprises me.

Barakapool - 2/18/2011, 11:30 PM
Nice cast, it makes me really happy that minority like Tadanobu Asano is given a chance, even if it's only a minor role.

Maybe someday Asian actors will be given a chance to play main lead roles like Dragon Ball(Son Goku), Hokuto No Ken(Kenshiro) Street Fighter(Ryu) and Akira.

Barakapool - 2/19/2011, 12:10 AM
I agree! maybe his mustache will grow in the sequel.

AlexDeLarge87 - 2/19/2011, 3:26 AM
Looks cool to me. Thou i miss the mustache too. It made him look more bad ass.

Tadanobu Asano is great actor. Everybody should watch Takashi Miike´s Ichi The Killer. Thats one great movie!:)

loganoneil@ agree

@r1g0r

Marvel's Asgardian "gods" are just a race of "extra-dimensional" beings. And they have been for some time. So I can't say when it became so, but they haven't been actual gods in the Marvel Universe for a while.
