Sandbox for Thor (film)[edit]

This is just a notice that I have created a sandbox for the upcoming Thor film for anybody who wishes to contribute. -TriiipleThreat (talk) 19:55, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston in the Avengers film[edit]

User 90.204.57.247 added this info about them joining the cast of the Avengers from a confirmation by Kevin Feige of Marvel Studios. I assume he/she was referring to this interview (www.firstshowing.net/2009/06/07/profile-on-marvel-studios-with-big-updates-from-kevin-feige) that I cited in which he does mention them being to signed to multiple films but makes no mention of the Avengers specifically. It is my question if implication here is strong enough to make it notable in this section. And if so would Hiddleston's casting be notable in article about Thor in other media? -TriiipleThreat (talk) 12:49, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I say that Hiddleston's casting is notable and should be included. Marvel has made it clear they want Thor in the Avengers film, so it is reasonable to say that part of the multiple film deal they have will include the Avengers. -Spidey104 (talk) 14:08, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Toys Section[edit]

Should this section be included in an article about appearances in other media? More pointedly, are toys a form a media? -TriiipleThreat (talk) 20:01, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My reasoning for including it in the article (someone else originally added it, I just replaced it after being removed) is that Toys have been included in the In other media section for other comic book characters (whether it is a section in their article or a separated article). This is the only time I have seen someone try to remove this from the section. Also, I think that it does count as media. Spidey104 (talk) 21:20, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Erroneous reference[edit]

I removed the reference to the novel Number the Stars from the "References to Thor" section. As the book is set during World War II, it must be the Norse god that is referred to, not the comic character. Rojomoke (talk) 21:33, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Anthony Hopkins as Odin[edit]

Variety is reporting that the casting is already official [1] and so is BBC. [2] JerzeyHellboy (talk) 22:57, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Current reports are that Anthony Hopkins is in negotiations to play Odin. Posting of this information at this point is premature as we only present such information once a decision has been made and verified by an official source.-TriiipleThreat (talk) 22:53, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

THR which broke the story claims the casting news is only in its negotiation phase http://www.heatvisionblog.com/2009/10/thor-anthony-hopkins.html. Variety does not mentions this so I propose we wait to see what the concensus is here before adding it to the article.-TriiipleThreat (talk) 23:04, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The release date[edit]

The release date of 2012 looks odd, considering that this - http://marvel.com/news/moviestories.10435.Thor_Movie_Update~colon~_Kat_Dennings_On_Board - shows that the Avengers film will be out on the 4th of May 2012, 16 days before the Thor release. I do not see them releasing two massive films at roughly the same time, as well as it has been stated in the past they they would want to establish the characters before the release RobbieNewton (talk) 16:29, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The release day as of now is May 20, 2011 and says as such in the article.-TriiipleThreat (talk) 16:33, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thor: Tales of Asgard[edit]

Doesn't Thor: Tales of Asgard require its own article? WP:NFF states that a film can have its own article when it is "out of the pre-production process, meaning that the final animation frames are actively being drawn and/or rendered, and final recordings of voice-overs and music have commenced".--58.167.61.146 (talk) 09:21, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No article is required, WP:NFF is a guideline that suggests when an article about a future film might merit inclusion to Wikipedia. Still such an article must be verifiable through reliable sources. I agree an article about Thor: Tales of Asgard would most likely pass WP:NFF. I suggest you be bold. However before creating an article, please read Wikipedia:Your first article. To experiment, please use the sandbox. To use a wizard to create an article, see the Article wizard. Remember when creating an article, provide references to reliable published sources. An article without references may be deleted. You can also start your new article at Special:MyPage/Thor: Tales of Asgard. There, you can develop the article with less risk of deletion; ask other editors to help work on it; and move it into "article space" when it is ready.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 13:24, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Marvel Animation series[edit]

It says a new 26 episode series was supposed to air in late 2010, but that obviously did not happen and needs to be updated to reflect that. -- Anythingspossibleforapossible (talk) 23:58, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
