Marvel’s Thor update
For months people have been curious on how Thor will fit into the "real" world that Iron Man is based in. Even Tony Stark himself Robert Downey Jr. is curious when he said to MTV, "The danger you run with colliding all these worlds is [director] Jon [Favreau] was very certain that 'Iron Man' should be set in a very realistic world. Nothing that happened in 'Iron Man' is really outside the realm of possibility. Once you start talking about Valhalla and supersized super soldiers and jolly green giants it warrants much further discussion." Well, he has a very valid point. How do you make this seem possible.
IESB.net may have the answers.
According the them and a source, "the character of Donald Blake has been added to the end of the script." Donald Blake is sort of a dual character to Thor - his other personality. It would be better if you read the wikipedia description:
Donald Blake, upon touching the hammer Mjolnir, is transported to the void of non-existence in which Thor now resides. Blake explains that when Odin originally removed the Blake persona from Thor, Blake was consigned to the void that Thor now inhabits. When Thor entered that void, Blake was suddenly restored to being, in New York City. Blake convinces Thor to wield Mjolnir once more, return to Earth, and renew the dual identity with Blake. Blake also reveals that Thor's fellow Asgardians are actually not dead but hidden on Earth.
Thor rebuilds Asgard in Oklahoma, paying for the land with Asgardian treasure. He then learns of the events of the superhero-registration "Civil War" and is angered that Tony Stark (Iron Man) and others used his DNA to create a Thor clone. Stark, in response, suggests Asgard may be considered a foreign embassy, with diplomatic immunity granted to its inhabitants. Thor then begins searching for his fellow Asgardians, and although successfully restoring them all (with the exception of Sif who is trapped in an old woman's body), does not attempt to find his father, Odin. He eventually finds his father in Valhalla, waging constant battle with the fire demon Surtur. There Odin advises his son that Thor must lead the Asgardians.
Thor later rescues and heals ally Beta Ray Bill, who after being given Mjolnir aids Thor in a battle against an invading force of alien Skrulls. Thor also participates in the final battle against the Skrull forces, and is forced to sacrifice Avenger ally the Wasp.
I suppose that's a good move for the film, if true, but since I'm not a comic book reader who knows if it will work. Like any Marvel or super hero film Thor is going to be a difficult one to get done properly but considering how Iron Man turned out... this might also be a great movie.
