==Synopsis==
Directed by Kenneth Branagh (Henry V, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) and starring Chris Hemsworth (Star Trek), Natalie Portman (Star Wars) and Academy Award Winner Anthony Hopkins (Silence of the Lambs), THOR promises to be one of 2011's biggest blockbusters, continuing the story set up in IRON MAN, IRON MAN 2 and THE INCREDIBLE HULK, and leading into THE FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA and THE AVENGERS.
==Contents==
The book comes with a dark brown slipcase with some kind of Asgardian pattern. The front of the book shows a battling Loki and Thor on the Bifrost Bridge, on the back of the book seems to be a rune-like pattern like the symbol the Bifrost left in the ground after transporting someone to Earth. It features early design of characters, environment and weapons. With most of the time providing small background information on the art work, like the meaning of the runes on Mjølnir.
