Norse god of thunder

In Germanic mythology and religion, Thor is the Norse god of thunder. He is typically portrayed as red-headed and bearded, and carrying Mjolnir, a magical hammer. During a thunderstorm, Thor rode through the heavens on his great chariot, pulled by two magical goats. Whenever he swung Mjolnir, lightning flashed across the sky.

Chris Hemsworth will star as Thor in the Kenneth Brannagh-directed movie adaptation of the Marvel comic Thor. The movie is set to be released in 2011.
