New Photos From ‘Thor’, Both ‘Thor’ And ‘Captain America’ Going 3-D

Some major updates took place in the Marvel world. We’ve got two new images for the upcoming ‘Thor’ as well as announcements about their upcoming projects.

The first photo above reveals for the first time Anthony Hopkins as Odin and Tom Hiddleston as Loki. It also reveals the mighty hammer of Thor (Chris Hemsworth) for the first time. Is it just me or the eyepatch on Hopkins looks ridiculously CGI?

Here’s the plot synopsis:

Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment present the epic adventure, “Thor,” which spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is the mighty Thor (Chris Hemsworth), a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth by his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and is forced to live among humans. A beautiful, young scientist, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), has a profound effect on Thor, as she ultimately becomes his first love. It’s while here on Earth that Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.

After the jump, find out more about the whole 3-D thing the movies are going for and a new ‘Thor’ image.

Marvel has confirmed that both Thor and Captain America will get a 3-D release. Now it’s important to remember that both of them were NOT shot in 3-D. They might have been shot with 3-D conversion in mind, though. Even though I’m strictly against the post production conversion process, I think Marvel has enough time to do this right if they want to. And Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige says that “an unprecedented amount of time” will be devoted to the conversion process and that the films lend themselves to 3-D. We’ll see about that.

Expect more goodies as Comic Con approaches. For now, here’s another picture from “Thor” courtesy of shh forums.
