Patty Jenkins Wanted Thor 2 To Be a Love Story Influenced by Romeo and Juliet

Years before Patty Jenkins directed Wonder Woman, she was linked to another superhero: Thor.

Oh My God someone made a plush “Mew-Mew” version of Thor’s Hammer

One of the very best things about Kat Dennings’ character (Darcy Lewis) in the Thor movies is how she pronounces Mjölnir. Instead of calling it by it’s traditional Norse name she prefers to call it Mew-Mew. And some genius has created a “Mew-Mew Mjölnir.” Thanks to TwinsGeekShop we can now purchase a Mew-Mew-Mjolnir, but I’ll…

Thor: The Dark of the World is a total gamechanger for evil, spaceship-flying elves and hammer-throwing Norse gods.

Tom Hiddleston takes us inside the complicated mind of Loki

Not only is actor Tom Hiddleston a charming impressionist, Comic-Con god, and Joss Whedon’s secret soft-spot, but he’s also an incredibly thoughtful person to chat deeply with about the inner workings of the God of Mischief, Loki, and his new mindset in Thor: the Dark World, premiering this Friday.

Thor: The Dark World is a lot of things, but more than anything it’s funny. Really funny. Like, wipe away tears funny. And we’ve got a clip to prove it. Granted this whole scene is out of context, so there’s no set-up at all. But it’s a great demonstration of the new level of playfulness…

The biggest stand-out star from the Thor franchise has (surprisingly) been Loki. Tom Hiddleston is such a fan favorite that he was given center stage at Marvel’s Comic-Con presentation this year.
