Guys, when are you gonna get it. We are the freaks (some of you more freakishly large than others) and everyone else is content to be fat or skinnyfat. I know that many of you lift to have the same exagerated muscles as our comic book heroes but the reality is that we are select few.
When this movie is released, we should all do our part. Go see the movie in some well fitting clothes and encourage the youth of America to aspire to your physical greatness. An added bonus is that you get to make all the fat slobs feel bad in front of their women folk.[/quote]
Loudog I think you nailed it with that post buddy. [/quote]
He was clearly joking. Also, why do so many people knock him for “not being big”? The dud’es in pretty damn good shape and looks the part. Why hate on him?
I agree that he was joking about the muscles being CGI. Chris Hemsworth had a clear ten months of training before shooting the movie. He practically vanished off the face of the Earth shortly after it was announced he’d play Thor.

Ok, alright I stand completely corrected. I only read it before and was pissed that they would CGI arms on this guy. I was wrong and give him all the respect he deserves for busting his ass to be the real deal. Now why the hell would he lose the weight? I am really looking forward to this movie, it looks badass in the trailer. I just really hate to see them CGI or tape on muscles when you have so many actors out there that are capable and willing to bulk up for roles.

He is the lead in the remake of Red Dawn, which was filmed before he landed the Thor gig. Red Dawn hasn’t been released yet, so it’s possible that he had to lose the mass for re- shoots.
Red Dawn may well have been deliberately held back to cash in on his post-Thor fame and it’s the norm for actors to be contracted to return for post-production re shoots if needed (Ryan Reynolds was called back to film additional footage after the rough cut of X Men Origins: Wolverine was leaked).

I don’t see HHH pulling off the Thor we’ll see in the movie.
My predictions:
Thor will draw on several myths and legends besides Norse mythology (for starters, Mjonir-in-the-stone-in-the-trailer is a nod to Arthurian legend).
Branagh has said he will draw on Shakespearean themes (who was influenced by classical greek myth), but in a way that’s in keeping with the comic book. Asgard will be at war with the Frost Giants. Odin will end up adopting one of their own (Loki) as part of a peace treaty.
Loki is raised as Thor’s brother, sees that he is young and arrogant, and manipulates him
into a conflict with Odin over the rulership of Asgard, which ends with Thor’s banishment to Earth, Odin’s “death” and Loki’s rise to power.
Thor won’t become a fully rounded warrior until after the events we see in the movie. It’s his trial by fire; the test of a young warrior sent into the wilderness to fend for himself without weapons (literally and metaphorically).

He’s also to play the role of Miley Cyrus’s love interest in some film, so i’d say he’l drop down even more…

I think you’ve definetly got the story down.
Apparently Nat Portman has all ready signed for another couple of films, so I think your right about the trial of fire for the first film, getting powers later etc.
My biggest worry is that the movie will be too childish (I doubt it will be to the extremes of fantastic 4) but still, a great thor movie would be one of gore and large scale violence and rage!
