Do you often find yourself wishing you could wield the lightning power of the gods like Thor, the God of Thunder? Wish no longer, fanboys -- one ambitious Thor fan has built a fully functioning replica of Mjolnir, Thor's hammer that can emit an electrical discharge at will.

The 25 Modern Marvel Movies Ranked From Worst to Best!

Jacob Hall — Fri, 03 May 2013 13:33:13 +0000

When ‘X-Men‘ arrived in 2000, the landscape of the cinematic blockbuster was changed forever. Superheroes still dominate the summer and more often than not, they tend to have come from the Marvel comic book universe. Sure, the occasional Batman or Superman film arrives every few years to remind us that DC is a thing, but [...]

Damon Houx — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 07:24:13 +0000

'Thor: The Dark World' looks to be bigger and better than the original movie!

'Thor 2′ Poster: Get Ready to Enter 'The Dark World'

Nick Romano — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 16:16:10 +0000

'Thor 2,' dubbed 'The Dark World,' will see Chris Hemsworth return as Marvel's mighty God of Thunder to crush some new foes with his hammer, and the first trailer is said to drop next week on April 23 (according to the film's international Facebook page). In anticipation, Marvel has unleashed the first poster, and though it doesn't reveal much, it's definitely got our geek juices flowing.

Cosplay of the Day: Loki in Real Life, With a Special Visit From Black Widow

Britt Hayes — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 12:51:00 +0000

Some of our favorite cosplays lately feature popular characters put in everyday situations, which is why we’re digging this awesome gender-bending Loki — with a special guest appearance from Black Widow! FahrSindram is a German cosplayer who does some pretty clever work. You’d hardly believe that she’s a lady when you see her crazy awesome [...]

Comic-Con 2013: 'Captain America 2′ Panel Coming, 'Thor 2′ + 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Are Possibilities

Nick Romano — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 17:57:24 +0000

Now that we're getting closer to Comic-Con 2013 in San Diego, it's time to start planning, especially since more and more panel appearances are being announced.

While we had an inkling that Marvel and Lucasfilm would be leaving out their upcoming lineups from the convention's events (you can read more about that here), new reports state that 'Captain America 2,' at least, will be hitting up Comic-Con 2013 with its own panel.

When Will the 'Thor: The Dark World' Trailer Premiere?

Jacob Hall — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:24:31 +0000

'Thor: The Dark World' doesn't open until later this year, but fans have been wondering when we'll get our first chance to see a trailer for the second adventure of Marvel's Mighty Avenger. The new buzz (and it makes too much sense to not be true) is that we'll see it attached to 'Iron Man 3.'

'Thor: The Dark World' Toy Line Shows Off the New Thunder God and Dark Elves

Nick Romano — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 22:16:12 +0000

'Thor: The Dark World' will soon be upon us, hitting theaters November 8, 2013, and so will Marvel's accompanying toy line. We got the chance to attend Hasbro's Fan Media Day during the 2013 American International Toy Fair, which showed off the new 'Thor 2' action figures and gadgets.

Previous toy releases, like most recently with the 'Iron Man 3' LEGO sets, have teased potential spoilers from their corresponding movies, so what hidden 'Thor: The Dark World' gems might be hidden in this new toy crop?

'Thor: The Dark World' Star on Transforming Into Algrim and Kurse

Jacob Hall — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 17:12:16 +0000

There are a lot of really cool actors and actresses joining the Marvel movie universe in 'Thor: The Dark World,' but of all of them, we're most excited to see Adewake Akinnuoye-Agbaje. Best known for playing the mysterious Mr. Eko on 'Lost' and the terrifying Adebisi on HBO's 'Oz,' the phenomenal actor will go toe-to-toe with Chris Hemsworth's Thor as the dark elf warror Algrim and his villainous alter-ego, Kurse. Although most details about the film are on lockdown, he's slipped a few details to the LA Times.

'Thor: The Dark World' — Our First Official Photo of the God of Thunder

Nick Romano — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 20:45:33 +0000

After select looks at 'Thor: The Dark World' from various set photos, the first official look at the upcoming 'Thor' sequel has finally surfaced in the latest issue of Empire Magazine. Though the 'Man of Steel'-covered edition includes a ton of new looks at some of the superhero movies on the docket for 2013, we still can't wait to see Chris Hemsworth pick his hammer back up for another battle.

Clay Matthews + Thor — Dead Ringers?

Nick Romano — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 14:53:51 +0000

If Gods do in fact walk among us, then some might think they’ve chosen to assume the form of professional football players. These athletes have been deified by their die-hard fans, and if we were picking their most closely resembled mythological counterparts, then that would make Clay Matthews III the God of Thunder. Perhaps Marvel [...]

'Thor 2′ Star Teases Another Marvel Movie: 'Black Panther' or 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' Perhaps?

Nick Romano — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:12:00 +0000

'Thor 2,' dubbed 'The Dark World,' is by far one of the most anticipated movies of the coming year, and will star Chris Hemsworth returning as the hammer-wielding God of Thunder as he battles the dark elves. But while a trailer hasn't even hit yet, one of the film's stars is already looking ahead to what future Marvel movies have in store -- specifically for him.

Cosplay of the Day: This Thor is Quite Smashing

Britt Hayes — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 13:25:05 +0000

Yesterday we brought you a gorgeous lady Thor, so we thought we might even it out today with this awesome and very manly Thor cosplay. Today’s Cosplay of the Day comes from Dusty Lofink, a resident of San Jose, California and huge admirer of Thor. We get plenty of lady cosplay entries around here, but [...]

Cosplay of the Day: Lady 'Thor' Takes the Cake

Britt Hayes — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 13:30:53 +0000

Our Cosplay of the Day comes from Lily Spitfyre, who is a total knock-out in her Thor costume. Lily Spitfyre is something of a cosplay pro, and this Thor costume is no exception. She puts a feminine spin on the iconic superhero, but doesn’t stray from the masculine with his hammer and signature helmet. And [...]

'Thor 2′ Set Pics: First Look at the Dark Elves From 'The Dark World'

Nick Romano — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 18:11:13 +0000

It's been a while since we last learned or saw anything new from the God of Thunder's next adventure in 'Thor 2.' We've been hearing all about this "Dark World" he's supposed to go venturing off in after the evil Dark Elves, but aside from a crowded fight scene and some pics of the set, we've had to rely on our imaginations as to how Malekith and his followers look... until now! Get a load of the first Dark Elf pics.

'Thor 2′ Spoilers: Which Character Will Die and Who Will Return?

Nick Romano — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 14:30:57 +0000

We've been preoccupied with the 'Iron Man 3' trailer and movie pics these past few days, but now its time to set our sights on the God of Thunder. 'Thor 2,' dubbed 'The Dark World,' is currently shooting in Iceland, which we've already seen through tons of set pics and behind-the-scenes footage leaking out of the woodwork. But who's ready now for some 'Thor: The Dark World' spoilers?

'Thor: The Dark World' Unleashes Its Plot

Damon Houx — Sat, 13 Oct 2012 03:00:43 +0000

We know that 'Thor: The Dark World' has been filming, and is scheduled to hit theaters in a year (November 8, 2013 to be exact), but now Marvel has released their synopsis, which gives us a greater sense of what the film is, and how much (or little) 'The Avengers' plays into the sequel.

Is 'Thor 2′ Taking Us to All the Nine Realms?

Eric Walkuski — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 20:36:37 +0000

Big news -- potentially -- for those of us looking forward to seeing the Marvel universe continue its expansion. A new rumor suggests that, in 'Thor 2,' dubbed 'The Dark World,' we'll be exposed to worlds beyond Earth and Asgard. We're talking all nine realms here, people.

'The Avengers' Prop Replicas Released: Take Home Thor's Hammer, the Cap's Shield and More

Eric Walkuski — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 20:15:07 +0000

Perfectly timed to coincide with the DVD and Blu-ray release of 'The Avengers,' eFX Inc. has announced the first items in a large slew of cool, collectible prop replicas inspired by the Marvel Universe have now gone on sale. For one, the vintage Captain America posters as seen in 'Captain America: The First Avenger' can be yours to take home, but there's still so much more to come.

'Thor: The Dark World' Cast Grows with Two New Additions

Damon Houx — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 00:30:26 +0000

Though the film has already begun shooting, it seems that the casting of ‘Thor: The Dark World‘ wasn’t finished, and the film has added two new players: Richard Brake and Clive Russell. Richard Brake is likely the more familiar face of the two for comic book fans as he played Joe Chill in ‘Batman Begins.’ [...]

Chris Evans Talks 'Captain America 2′ Details, 'Avengers' Deleted Scenes and 'Thor 2′ Cameo

Sean O'Connell — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 22:00:35 +0000

This is what happens any time you play a superhero in a major comic book franchise: No matter the movie that you are trying to promote, you’ll have to answer a handful of questions about the superhero blockbuster that you eventually are going to film (even though cameras don’t roll for months, at the earliest).

Take Chris Evans, who plays Captain America in Marvel’s string of popcorn thrillers. He’s trying to talk to the media about ‘The Iceman,’ a serial-killer-hitman drama that he and Michael Shannon brought to the Toronto International Film Festival. But instead, he has to spend time talking to outlets about his Marvel future. And Evans talks. To his credit, he knows where his bread is being buttered these days. Movies like ‘The Avengers’ and the upcoming 'Captain America 2' allow him to do as many ‘Iceman’ movies as he’ll want for the foreseeable future.

New 'Thor 2′ Footage: Watch an Epic Battle Scene in Action

Eric Walkuski — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 15:29:52 +0000

A few days ago, we caught a handful of behind-the-scenes pictures from the Surrey, England set of 'Thor: The Dark World.' Depicting a hectic battle sequence, the images resembled something closer to 'Game of Thrones' than a superhero movie -- and we mean that in the best possible way. (Perhaps it's thanks to director Alan Taylor having helmed six episodes of 'Thrones'?) If those pictures did it for you, then you'll certainly be pleased to see some moving pictures from the set, courtesy of this all-too-brief video captured by Splash News. Check it out after the break.

'Thor 2′ First Look: See Shots From a Big Battle Sequence

‘Thor 2′ (aka, ‘Thor: The Dark World‘) is currently filming in Bourne Wood, Surrey, England and we’ve got our first shot of the cast involved in what looks to be a massive battle sequence. While Tom Hiddleston will return as Loki, ‘Thor 2′ will have a bigger (badder?) villain in Malekith the Accursed (Christopher Eccleston), [...]

New 'Thor 2′ Set Photos Revealed

Nick Romano — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 16:36:16 +0000

Filming on ‘Thor 2′ (subtitled ‘The Dark World‘) doesn’t start for another week or so, and aside from casting news, details have been a little scarce. But we’ll take what we can get, which is why we’re super excited to show you some new photos of the ‘Thor: The Dark World’ set. SuperHeroHype got to [...]

'Thor 2′ Brings Back Kat Dennings, World Rejoices Accordingly

Britt Hayes — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 01:48:54 +0000

The beautiful and hilarious Kat Dennings will indeed return for ‘Thor 2,’ because we know you were all incredibly worried about whether or not she’d come back to adorably refer to Thor’s hammer as “meow-meow.” Deadline reports that Kat Dennings is returning for the ‘Thor’ sequel, titled ‘Thor: The Dark World.’ We expect she will [...]

'Thor: The Dark World' Villain Revealed

Damon Houx — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 01:30:41 +0000

Once Mads Mikkelsen passed on 'Thor: The Dark World,' we've been wondering who will fill his shoes, on top of wondering what character he'd be playing. The answer has been revealed: it's now Christopher Eccleston who will be playing Malekith The Accursed.

'Pacific Rim's' Charlie Hunnam + Thor — Dead Ringers?

Nick Romano — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 14:21:31 +0000

So, we were in the audience of the Comic-Con 2012 'Pacific Rim' panel in San Diego this weekend, when all of a sudden we saw (or we thought we saw) Chris Hemsworth walk out onto the stage with Guillermo del Toro!
