Hemsworth and Hiddleston voice Thor and Loki in game
I suppose this is only a plus for the upcomign release of Thor: God of Thunder from SEGA. The title’s main characters from the movie Thor, Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Tom Hiddleston (Loki), will voice themselves in the upcoming action adventure. Both actors’ likenesses will also be used in the game, which is based on the legendary franchise from Marvel Entertainment, and marks Thor’s first standalone appearance in a video game.
“Bringing in Chris and Tom to star in Thor: God of Thunder gives us AAA talent that will create a truly cinematic interactive experience,” said Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing at SEGA Europe and SEGA of America. “Mighty Thor and the trickster Loki will face off with real emotion while giving fans visual and vocal continuity between the video game and film adaptations of the Marvel franchise.”
Thor: God of Thunder will take players through an original, epic-scale third-person action adventure for which Matt Fraction, the Eisner Award-winning writer and lead Thor comic book author, served as story consultant. In the game, Thor battles through the numerous worlds of Norse mythology to save Asgard. Players will wield the iconic Mjölnir, Thor’s legendary hammer, to fight enemies of an immense scale while controlling the elemental storm powers of lightning, thunder and wind to vanquish enemies. Thor must overcome monstrous foes lifted from the pages of the comics, including Ulik, Ymir and Surtur, as well as other daunting enemies.

I thought this was supposed to be a movie coming out?
December 2nd, 2010 at 2:37 pm
it is
December 2nd, 2010 at 2:51 pm
so is this coinciding with its release or is this game unrelated?
December 2nd, 2010 at 2:59 pm
not sure if it’s on par with the release or not…but it’ll be closely tied to the movie i imagine.
December 2nd, 2010 at 4:46 pm
hmm, hopefully its not a crapy movie tie-in game
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:00 pm
i sure hope they do a good job on this. Iron man games wasn’t that good.

Yah the movie looks awesome, I can’t wait to see it!
December 3rd, 2010 at 7:07 am

I saw one trailer for the movie when Comic-Con was going on and I haven’t seen anything since. I think this game will fail even with the star’s voice acting for the game. Thor is not that interesting of a character to me.

Since they are making a Thor movie, I guess that means he will be part of the avengers movie. I really can’t wait to see all of them on the big screen.
I loved reading the comics, my favorite hero team growing up
December 3rd, 2010 at 8:27 am
i hope the movie is ballin! not too excited about the game

I was not into the thor comics just by himself, He seemed better in the avengers fighting as a group with iron man and Cap.
anyone know if a new Cap A movie is coming, I remember the old one from the 80′s wasn’t that good

That guy reminds me of one of the dudes in LOTR. Unless it is him lol. All the Superhero movies have been great lately (ex:ironman), hopefully this will be too.
