More Marvel Concept Art: Chris Hemsworth As Thor
Just hours agoa set of images leaked that seemed to be artist renderings of Chris Evans in character as Captain America. Now there’s a second set, in very much the same style, renderingChris Hemsworthas he might look inThor.
These are either exceptional fakes, or a significant leak out of Marvel. And while we haven’t yet seen any official photos of Chris Evans in costume against which to compare the Cap concept art, we’ve gotone official image of Hemsworthto suggest that these might be the real thing.
Collidergot these shots via email. They compare well against the one official promo shot, and they also conform pretty well to thedescription of the film’s costumesthat hit the net at the end of March via a talkback at AICN. To refresh, that description of Thor was:
So, keeping in mind that we don’t yet know if these are 100% legit:
A few might take issue with ‘balls accurate’ based on these images, though I expect that what folks will really focus on is the fact that this makes Hemsworth’s Thor look pretty damn svelte. (And the lack of a helmet.) Beyond that, when you get down to it, this is a pretty accurate basis for a live-action representation of the classic Walt Simonson-style Thor — the details are all there, and the hammer Mjolnir looks great.
But while I liked the Cap costume quite a bit, I’m not so wild about these. ‘Future tech’ is far more applicable than ‘medieval,’ and I keep thinking of the overly fashion-designed costumes of movies likeJudge DreddandThe Fifth Elementwhen I see these images. (InvokingDreddis a killer, I know, but what can I do?) Keep in mind that these images don’t represent how the costume will be lit, however.
Here are small versions of the images — hitColliderfor full-res versions.
