First 'Thor' Trailer Unveils a Different Breed of Superhero

[Jazzy]

Tony Stark is a brilliant inventor who built a suit of armor to become a mechanized warrior. Bruce Banner is a gifted scientist whose experiments turned him into a hulking monster. Peter Parker is a high school student given amazing powers by a spider bite.



But Thor, Marvel's latest big-screen superhero, is a god.



Inspired by Norse mythology, Thor was created by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby in 1962. Now, the character is finally coming to the big screen from Marvel Studios, the same company that made the hugely successful Iron Man movies.



The studio's grand idea is that both the Thor and Iron Man exist in the same universe, and that eventually they will team up with Hulk and Captain America in The Avengers. But how will Thor's mythological gods and monsters match up with Iron Man's high-tech (and more realistic) world?



Get the first look at Thor (played by Australian actor Chris Hemsworth) bringing the hammer down in the exclusive trailer premiere below, and keep reading to see how Marvel plans to make him fit into their established reality.
