With two big blockbusters both set for next summer, Marvel’s planning on turning 2011 into a big year. At Comic-Con in San Diego today, Marvel unveiled new concept art posters for the two films, but if you’re not cool enough to be at Comic-Con you can check them out online.
The first movie is Thor, set for release May 6th, 2011. In case you’re not familiar, Thor is a powerful, reckless hero on the distant world of Asgard who accidentally restarts an ancient war and gets sent to Earth as punishment, because nobody in their right mind would want to live on Earth. While he’s stuck here he learns what it really means to be a hero when his enemies on Asgard send armies to destroy Earth, although from this picture it seems like what he learns might be the importance of blue jeans and how much awesomer hammers are than spears. It still looks pretty cool though.
