Things We Might See In Thor


Thor starts production soon so I've been thinking over some interesting aspects of the comics which could make the movie. Knowing that the film will spend some time in Asgard here are some interesting things that could be apart of that world.


Mjolnir: Better known as Thor's hammer there are two different versions the one seen in the original comics and the half axe half hammer seen used by Ultimate Thor. It's been confirmed we'll see Mjolnir but we haven't seen images to confirm what style they'll go with.


Bifröst: The rainbow bridge of Asgard. While I'm not sure it's been confirmed it would be used in the film. The bridge's guard Heimdall played by Idris Elba will be in the film so it's possible the colorful bridge will make the cut.


Weapons: I believe there is a point in the comics where they introduce the use of modern human weapons into battles. I think it might be interesting to see a mix of swords and guns on the battle field. Even if those guns are alien or futuristic.


Epic Battles: While I'm not expecting to see the film completely set in Asgard it would be nice to get a hint of the battles we could be seeing in future films.


Debauchery: The best part of the Norse lore invovles the legendary debuchery of warriors. Hard drinking, eating, fighting and scantly clad wenches. I believe we could see the Asgardians downing meed I'm not so sure we'll be seeing the hedonistic things we'd expect. On the other hand we did get glimpses of Tony Stark's alcoholism and womanizing in Iron Man.


Asgardians: Another thing will we see the Asgardians as a real population of people? I'd hope to see them represented similar to the humans in Middle Earth. The film seems to only have two lead female Asgardians at this point Sif and Frigga. You'd expect the more popular female characters like Enchantress and Valkyrie to be in the film. Along with other characters like Balder and Executioner they could end up in movie but that might have more to do with how much of Asgard we'll be shown.


Creatures: From Frost Giants, Elves, Rock Trolls and Dwarves the world of Thor has many inhabitants. I keep getting Middle Earth vibes from the whole idea of different beings.
