I still think that many people would not want to go see it. He's not one of the popular characters that get mentioned when regular people name their favorite superhero. It's either Batman, Superman, or Spider-man. Since nobody knows who Thor really is, I don't think a movie entirely devoted to him is such a cool idea. Besides, to the normal audience watching the movie, I believe that they would think that the way he talks would be SEVERLY corny and they would probably walk out after the first 20 min. of hearing him. People would probably want to see a cool character fighting uber supervillans, and then they realize that it's a really powerful character reciting Shakespeare! Now this does not mean I don't like Thor, actually, imo I think he's a great character. But he should probably stick to comic books and stay away from a solo movie. He would be awesome though in an Avengers movie. 😉
I see a lot of Batman fans here are skeptical of the Odinson and his place in popular culture - I SAY THEE NAY!bangin
Fantasy, and sword & sorcery culture are riding high at the movies - Gladiator, Lord Of The Rings, Troy, Chronicles Of Narnia etc. Handled properly, Thor would become a huge favourite with kids, wanting to get their own helmet and hammer from department stores.
Thor will smite all these disbelievers! I state my troth.

Nobody knew who Blade was either and he had one or two of the best comic book movies ever (the third film was utter sh!te)

In all seriousness though, a Thor movie would be great. Why? Because of the fact it's a great story. A movie of Thor would have the full Hollywood package, and just have plenty of ass kickery. It wouldn't go emo, it wouldn't get annyoing, or anything of the sort. Just because a character isn't well known doesn't mean the movie won't be good. Not many people knew Road to Perdition was a comic, and it was great.
To come up with a title you must see the present. We got ultimate Avengers. From Wizard: the mightiest hero in the Marvel Universe isn't a mutant, a god or a super soldier, he's simply a man. A man with hi-tech suit of armor and a genius-level IQ, but a man nontheless. In addition to a brain that rivals Reed Richard's and a suit of armor powerful enough to take out the Hulk. Tony also has a tactical prowess akin to Captain America, a slow of teammates that can be counted among the most powerful beings in the world, a host of deadly, supercharged villians, and on top of all that, he owns a highly successful industry-leading corporation. Here are seven reasons why Iron Man is the Marvel Universe's No. 1 hero...He's one of the smartest people on Earth...He formed, funds and runs The Avengers...He's shaped the world with the illuminati...He's a corporative pioneer...The iron man armor could be the most powerful weapon on Earth...He's at the forefront of civil war...His villians are stepping up to his level. In my opinion Iron Man should start it all...then titles will come alone.
I can bring little pieces and inspiration but the minds behind this are experienced people on this field. The comics may help but it all depends on the audience. If I think of individual movies for later have them together it'll be too dedicated. They want something brief and interesting. How can they have individual characters becoming what they are and form a team accidentally. In Ultimates they were already known but a movie is introduction and plot...very hard to gather and shape it. Then who comes first...Iron Man or Thor? Let's look to the facts...comics are series of events like real life and movies are what happened on that day...very different. The Avengers Team are Captain America from WW2 to present, Thor the norse god incarnated, Iron Man explained earlier, then Wasp & Giant Man. Many other movies start by the middle or end then all the event is based as a story...this could be used as well. Then the movie probably won't have a sequel-to-trilogy. The other thing is that the cause of this is either war or threats...what would it be? In X-Men the government is the one to oppose which creates chaos of civil war ...both classic and present Avengers fight alien creatures from another world. My point on this, a hopeful conclusion and a possible solution is the meeting of these characters...they must realize other beings alike are somewhere. That can help very much. Now fiction becomes reality when actors have to go through certain discipline and control to a brand new level by working together "back to kindergarten" they might say! But seriously, this world is build more from fiction than reality in a very misunderstood way of ignorance.

😑 🤪
...Anyway. Thor deserves his own movie, not just an Avengers one.
You can't do it anyway, what with Captain America & Iron Man both having seperate feature films in the works. No studio is going to put so many eggs in one basket, when they can get more money from seperate films. The X-Men films are an exception, because of the mutant theme, outsiders from humanity etc.

WTF does that have to do with Thor having a movie?
