New Look At Thor On Entertainment Tonight This Thursday

Seconded :)

At the end of Iron Mam, Nick Fury asks Tony Stark if he thought he was the only super hero in the world. Which would imply that there are already super heroes that exist. Not Thor, because he hadn't crash landed yet, and not Cap, because he was still an ice cube. They could mean Hawkeye, Ms Marvel, etc. Perhaps the credits footage for Thor will give us a glimpse of who else we'll see in Avengers. Who do you think are the pre-existing heroes Nick Fury mentioned?

@Midas...well technically I'm sure Fury knew about Cap in the past but didn't know his location in the ice until either the end of First Avenger or the beginning of the Avengers. Doubt Ms Marvel in the movieverse yet, since we have no word on the Kree. He might have a database with various Meta-humans in this world, but that remains to be seen. Gotta wait and see

sweeet! I'll be watching just in case it doesn't make it here!

If there's gonna be a sneak peak on ET this Thursday, then you can bet there's gonna be a new trailer the next day.

@ComicCritic87
Having a database of Meta-humans and declaring that there are other "heroes" are too completely different things. Just because someone is a Meta-human doesn't mean they've taken on the responsibility of being a hero. I believe Nick Fury has super heroes he's working with on the Avenger's initiative, and he wants Stark to join them.

I am sure Fury is aware of Bruce Banner at that point - he knows all!!!

Plus he would also be aware that Cap did exist once. And if he is aware of him he maybe aware of the existance of the Cosmic Cube and that it is from "Odin's Treasure" room. So there is some knowledge of Asgard in the Marvel Movie Universe by some before Thor shows up.

Add to that vague details about Hawkeye, Black Widow, Black Panther and Namor and it gives his words about other 'super heroes' plenty of weight.

Here's a thought for a plot device:

There were other superheroes and at some time in the past SHIELD was bringing them together as a team. A Hydra terrorist attack resulted in thier deaths. Thus this new team of superheroes is being brought together to AVENGE those that were killed.

Fury's statement may not have been targeted towards anyone specific. They probably had him say this as a general blanket confirmation so that when and if they decide to bring others in, Marvel will be covered when they introduce somebody with a origin date before Iron Man and the fans say "Well where the hell was he when all this was going on?"

awesome! can't wait! but i want the full cap trailer soon also...

YEAAA Thorrrrr! FTW!!

@ DAHAMMA

I've heard from someone on the SuperHeroHype forums that Branagh said in an interview that he asked and got permission from Marvel to make Thor not fly so as to keep it more realistic.

Sigh!

@coldblood


DC characters have flown and will fly always like Supes and GL then what is this crappy "realism" issue with marvel.
Marvel heroes as presented by the movies are too weak to be called heroes.One wonders only Superman is enough to take down all the avengers starting with Iron Man,a gun wielding Cap,a puny hulk that struggles to lift a car and a non flying Thor(more like Big Daddy cool with a hammer).why are the marvel characters so weakly represented in movies compared to DC counterparts.We all see GL flying into space,Superman lifting a whole island in Superman returns while on the other hand the avengers are no better than a group of 4 healthy dudes.

FYI:the tank tossing was in Ang Lee's hulk not the 2008 one where the hulk didn't even leap and regenerate.

and I would love to see Thor flying,atleast somebody in the marvel world should stand a chance against Superman.


just put Avengers vs JLA...Avengers won't stand 10 minutes.

@ odinson11

Why are there always people like you who always spoil things on forums. Nobody is insulting anybody or using offensive language. With or without your permission I will not shut my mouth and I will keep on speaking. You have absolutely no authority here.

And trust me I am a MARVEL fan with little to no interest in DC.

I was simply relating what I read and I did state where I read it.

How do you know that Thor will fly? What is your evidence? If he does then fanatstic!!! If he doesn't well then at least we are prepared to be a bit disappointed.

In 3 trailers/teasers we have seen NO EVIDENCE of flying! So from long ago I was settled to the fact that Thor will not fly. Then I heard that the script related that he would fly and I got some hope. However noone knows if everything in that script is in the movie. We don't even know if it was the final script. Many things change from script to filming to postprod. This is why I warned people against reading the script; you are setting yourselves up to be disappointed when everything you read and envisioned is not on film.

Then recently I read this over at SuperHeroHype and the guy reporting this sounded genuine.

Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope we get to see Thor fly but if it doesn't happen then at least we are prepared

@ Rango

Dude I feel your pain.

I really wanted to see Thor fly using that hammer, especially after we saw in Superman Returns how good flying can look with modern VFX!

I don't know if it a budgetary reason that flying VFX and scenes are really expensive.

Sometimes even good directors can lapse in some areas, e.g., Favreau is great but sometimes his action sequences are too short. I like Branagh but I read that he said they could not get the Mjolnir hammer spin to work on film. I cannot understand how with CGI that you cannot get that to work! I don't think they realise how much fans are looking forward to some signature things about these characters.

I've read Captain America will begin with the excavation pulling Captain America from the ice, then flash back through his story, ending in the present.
