As far as Marvel Comics' summer superhero movies go, it seems like there might be a clear set of preconceived notions already coagulating into stone. Captain America? Looks like it might be a retro-adventure movie like Indiana Jones! X-Men: First Class? The trailer looked cool, but the posters are objectively vomit-inducing, so we're cautiously optimistic. Thor, on the other hand, seems to have already been declared DOA by the geek brigade. But this behind the scenes look on the set in New Mexico might start to change their minds.
We get a glimpse of not only the completely fake town set that director Kenneth Branagh constructed in the middle of New Mexico, but we also get a sense of how cosmic the story of Thor may prove to be. It seems like Asgard, home of the gods, and the nine realms of Norse mythology play a heavy component. Plus our time in Asgard appears to be more than just establishing shot, but to play a integral part in the movie, a bit like Oa in the recent Green Lantern trailer. Plus, is that Loki with the Cosmic Cube? Check it out below!
