    Storyline

    Edit
    The warrior Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is cast out of the fantastic realm of Asgard by his father Odin (Sir Anthony Hopkins) for his arrogance and sent to Earth to live amongst humans. Falling in love with scientist Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) teaches Thor much-needed lessons, and his new-found strength comes into play as a villain from his homeland sends dark forces toward Earth.

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Sir Anthony Hopkins (Odin) saw each other in full armor for the first time, Hopkins said, "God, there's no acting required here, is there?"
    • Goofs
      (at around 37 mins) In the Healing Room when Loki is shown re-examining his left hand, the edge of his sleeve is brown instead of the green of his attire, as seen immediately after.
    • Quotes

      Loki: The Casket wasn't the only thing you took from Jotunheim that day, was it?

      Odin: No. In the aftermath of the battle I went into the temple and I found a baby. Small for a Giant's offspring, abandoned, suffering, left to die. Laufey's son.

      Loki: Laufey's son?

      Odin: Yes.

      Loki: Why? You were knee-deep in Jotun blood. Why would you take me?

      Odin: You were an innocent child.

      Loki: No. You took me for a purpose. What was it?... TELL ME!

      Odin: I thought we could unite our kingdoms one day. Bring about an alliance, bring about permanent peace... through you.

      Loki: What?

      Odin: But those plans no longer matter.

      Loki: So I am no more than another stolen relic, locked up here until you might have use of me?

      Odin: Why do you twist my words?

      Loki: You could have told me what I was from the beginning! Why didn't you?

      Odin: You're my son... I wanted only to protect you from the truth...

      Loki: What, because I... I... I am the monster parents tell their children about at night?

      Odin: [unwell] No! No!

      Loki: You know, it all makes sense now, why you favored Thor all these years, because no matter how much you claim to love me, you could never have a Frost Giant sitting on the throne of Asgard!

      [an overcome Odin collapses]

      Loki: Guards! Guards, please help!

    • Crazy credits
      SPOILER: There is a scene after the credits: Dr Selvig meets with Nick Fury, who asks him to examine the Tesseract from Captain America: The First Avenger (2011). Loki appears in a reflection on the wall influencing Selvig to agree.
    • Alternate versions
      In Nordic subtitles for this film, the name of Laufey has been changed to Leifur, since In Norse mythology (and thus, Nordic languages), the name Laufey is feminine and is the name of Loki's mother.
