Another in the long list of Marvel Comic creations is about to be entered into the big screen superhero genre, as "Thor" is set to be developed starting sometime this winter.

Thor is based on the Norse god legend who also had an evil brother Loki. He is also known for a powerful hammer he uses in combat.
