Trailer: “Thor: Ragnarok”
The first trailer for Thor: Ragnarok finds the Asgardian warrior in a whole lotta trouble.
Not only does new villain, Cate Blanchett, look pretty formidable, but Thor eventually finds himself in a gladiator battle with fellow Avenger, the Hulk.
In addition to a jacked-to-the-max Chris Hemsworth and the aforementioned Blanchett, the flick features Idris Elba, Anthony Hopkins, and Jeff Goldblum.
Watch the trailer below. No release date for the film as yet.
Chris Hemsworth’s Shirtless “Thor” Workout
Thor star Chris Hemsworth shared this video (below) from his workouts with trainer Luke Zocchi, who gets Hemsworth into god-like shape for his role as the Avenger from Asgard.
Cardio, strength, and resistance exercises all play a part in beefing up the hunky Aussie for his upcoming flick, Thor: Ragnarok.
My first thought was, “Look at those arms and shoulders!”
But then, why look at just one part of the shirtless hunk?
Funny: Thor Takes Down Time Down Under
In case you were wondering what Thor was up to during CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR.
Turns out he needed some “me” time after saving the planet, so he decided to chill in Australia. Along the way he met a dude named Darryl and moved in with him.
Chris Hemsworth is quite funny in this little bit. Apparently, this was shown at Comic Con and there’s more 🙂
Marvel’s new “Thor” will be a woman
Marvel announced today that come this fall, the character of “Thor” will be a woman.
Via press release:
This October, Marvel Comics evolves once again in one of the most shocking and exciting changes ever to shake one of Marvel’s “big three” – Captain American, Iron Man and Thor – Marvel Comics will be introducing an all-new THOR, GOD OF THUNDER. No longer is the classic male hero able to hold the mighty hammer, Mjölnir, a brand new female hero will emerge will who will be worthy of the name THOR. Who is she? Where did she come from and what is her connection to Asgard and the Marvel Universe?
“The inscription on Thor’s hammer reads ‘Whosoever holds this hammer, if HE be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.’ Well it’s time to update that inscription,” says Marvel editor Wil Moss. “The new Thor continues Marvel’s proud tradition of strong female characters like Captain Marvel, Storm, Black Widow and more. And this new Thor isn’t a temporary female substitute – she’s now the one and only Thor, and she is worthy!”
Series writer Jason Aaron emphasizes, “This is not She-Thor. This is not Lady Thor. This is not Thorita. This is THOR. This is the THOR of the Marvel Universe. But it’s unlike any Thor we’ve ever seen before.”
Of course, in my mind, Chris Hemsworth will forever be Thor.
Marvel shared this illustration of the new “Thor:”

Chris Hemsworth on how a shirtless scene got into Thor movie
It turns out that Chris Hemsworth, the very Thunder God himself, has a shirtless scene near the beginning of the upcoming “Thor: The Dark World.” Why?
The better question: why not?
MTV reports:
Though it could have been confused as pure fangirl service, the scene was actually the brainchild of Marvel consigliere Joss Whedon, who thought the movie was missing a little something special.
“That [scene] kind of came from Joss actually. He just said that there needed to be something romantic in there,” Hemsworth said. “Then he said, ‘Chris, get your shirt off.’ I said, ‘Well, I don’t know. What’s the why? What are we doing?’ The justification was that it was him coming home from battle, washing blood off his hands. It is what it is. How to weigh into that without sounding like an idiot?”
“Thor: The Dark World” sees its release on November 8th.

This past summer was quite the season for super-hero adventure movies.
Looking back, I forgot how much I enjoyed THOR with Chris Hemsworth. Whatever the movie making magic used that created Asgard, the world of the gods, was – it was gorgeous. As was Chris Hemsworth.
I’m looking forward to seeing how bringing all the Marvel characters together for AVENGERS works out. It could be great, or it could be a difficult thing to balance all those characters well. We’ll have to see.
If you missed THOR, you can see more about it here. I liked it. Nice distraction from a busy day.
And you can see more of Chris Hemsworth below. 🙂
