Kenneth Branagh is directing the adaptation of the Marvel comic. Chris Hemsworth will star as Thor; Tom Hiddleston will play Loki, and Natalie Portman is the love interest, Jane Foster.

Outside of the immediate character Thor, I know little about his villains and I definitely didn't know he had any villains of color. I am still looking forward to seeing the flick when it drops-it'll be a great segue into the 'Avengers' movie coming out in 2011.
