In 9. 65 AD, Odin, king of Asgard, wages war against the Frost Giants of Jotunheim and their leader Laufey, to prevent them from conquering the nine realms, starting with Earth. The Asgardian warriors defeat the Frost Giants and seize the source of their power, the Casket of Ancient Winters. In the present,N 2 Odins son Thor prepares to ascend to the throne of Asgard, but is interrupted when Frost Giants attempt to retrieve the Casket. Against Odins order, Thor travels to Jotunheim to confront Laufey, accompanied by his brother Loki, childhood friend Sif and the Warriors Three Volstagg, Fandral, and Hogun. A battle ensues until Odin intervenes to save the Asgardians, destroying the fragile truce between the two races. For Thors arrogance, Odin strips his son of his godly power and exiles him to Earth as a mortal, accompanied by his hammer Mjolnir, now protected by an enchantment that allows only the worthy to wield it. Thor lands in New Mexico, where astrophysicist Dr. Jane Foster, her assistant Darcy Lewis, and mentor Dr. Erik Selvig, find him. The local populace finds Mjolnir, which S. H. I. E. L. D. agent Phil Coulson soon commandeers before forcibly acquiring Janes data about the wormhole that delivered Thor to Earth. Thor, having discovered Mjolnirs nearby location, seeks to retrieve it from the facility that S. H. I. E. L. D. quickly constructed but he finds himself unable to lift it, and is captured. With Selvigs help, he is freed and resigns himself to exile on Earth as he develops a romance with Jane. Loki discovers that he is Laufeys biological son, adopted by Odin after the war ended. A weary Odin falls into the deep Odinsleep to recover his strength. Loki seizes the throne in Odins stead and offers Laufey the chance to kill Odin and retrieve the Casket. Sif and the Warriors Three, unhappy with Lokis rule, attempt to return Thor from exile, convincing Heimdall, gatekeeper of the Bifrstthe means of traveling between worldsto allow them passage to Earth. Aware of their plan, Loki sends the Destroyer, a seemingly indestructible automaton, to pursue them and kill Thor. The warriors find Thor, but the Destroyer attacks and defeats them, prompting Thor to offer himself instead. Struck by the Destroyer and near death, Thors sacrifice proves him worthy to wield Mjolnir. The hammer returns to him, restoring his powers and enabling him to defeat the Destroyer. Kissing Jane goodbye and vowing to return, he and his fellow Asgardians leave to confront Loki. In Asgard, Loki betrays and kills Laufey, revealing his true plan to use Laufeys attempt on Odins life as an excuse to destroy Jotunheim with the Bifrst Bridge, thus proving himself worthy to his adoptive father. Thor arrives and fights Loki before destroying the Bifrst Bridge to stop Lokis plan, stranding himself in Asgard. Odin awakens and prevents the brothers from falling into the abyss created in the wake of the bridges destruction, but Loki allows himself to fall when Odin rejects his pleas for approval.

It wasnt until Thor that I started lifting weights, it was all pretty new to me. Regarding his take on the character, Hemsworth said, We just kept trying to humanize it all, and keep it very real.

About approaching Thors fighting style, he remarked, First, we looked at the comic books and the posturing, the way Thor moves and fights, and a lot of his power seems to be drawn up through the ground. We talked about boxers, you know, Mike Tyson, very low to the ground and big open chest and big shoulder swings and very sort of brutal but graceful at the same time, and then as we shot stuff things became easier. Dakota Goyo portrays a young Thor. Natalie Portman as Jane Foster. A scientist and Thors love interest. Marvel Studios stated in an announcement that the character was updated from the comics initial portrayal for the feature adaptation. When asked why she took the role, Portman replied, I just thought it sounded like a weird idea because Kenneth Branaghs directing it, so I was just like, Kenneth Branagh doing Thor is super weird, Ive gotta do it. Portman stated that she really wanted to do a big effects film that emphasized character, and getting to do it with Branagh was a new way of approaching it, relative to Star Wars. Regarding her preparation for the role Portman remarked, I signed on to do it before there was a script. And Ken, whos amazing, who is so incredible, was like, You can really help create this character. I got to read all of these biographies of female scientists like Rosalind Franklin who actually discovered the DNA double helix but didnt get the credit for it. The struggles they had and the way that they thought  I was like, What a great opportunity, in a very big movie that is going to be seen by a lot of people, to have a woman as a scientist. Shes a very serious scientist. Because in the comic shes a nurse and now they made her an astrophysicist. Dil Lagi Episode 3 Dailymotion.
