Mjolnir Looks Un-Smashed In An ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Set Photo
Things looked pretty dire for Thor and his hammerMjolnirduring thetrailer forThor: Ragnarok. While I have no doubt that Thor will pull through since actorChris Hemsworthappears in the upcomingAvengers: Infinity War, it didn’t seem that way for Mjolnir, which found itself smashed to pieces byCate Blanchett’s evil Hela.
But with a new set photo ofInfinity Warcourtesy of directorsAnthony and Joe Russoshowing an alright-looking and fairly un-smashed Mjolnir prop, it looks like that dire fate may not be permanent for Thor’s hammer.
The Russo brothers' Instagram posted a photo from the set ofAvengers: Infinity War, with the two of them standing in an unknown cathedral, holding Mjolnir. The photo was simply captioned “Worthy.”

What does it all mean?!
It’s clear that the Russos are referring to Mjolnir with the caption “worthy” since only those who are worthy can hold Thor’s hammer. Does this mean that Mjolnir is repaired at the end or afterThor: Ragnarok? Will Doctor Strange — who met with Thor in amid-credits scene forDoctor Strange— help reforge the hammer in a post-credits scene? Or is it just the two brothers messing around with a prop and trolling us all (somethingJames Gunn is famous for)?
If it’s the first, then the Russo brothers just revealed a massive spoiler forThor: Ragnarok. If the second, well, consider us all fooled.
However, it would make sense to attempt to bring back Mjolnir since it is a huge part of Thor’s power, even though the majority of 2011’sThorconsisted of him learning to live without it. But in the huge battle against Thanos for control of the Infinity Stones — which supposedly will be the broad strokes of the plot forInfinity War— it would be unfortunate for Thor to only be fighting at half power.
