First Footage From The Set Of Thor – Starring Chris Hemsworth & Natalie Portman

The majority of this set visit report is filled up by an interview with Darth Vader’s baby mama (Natalie Portman) and Chris Hemsworth, you do get a good look at some of the stars in costume though, particularly Anthony Hopkins……If you judge your films by the beards involved, this looks like it will be a modern classic!

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.
