Avengers: Infinity War
Not contented with the three 2017 superhero blockbusters that are each build massive bombilation , Marvel Studios has begin whetting our appetite for the upcomingAvengers : Infinity Warby release a shortbehind - the - scenes featurette .
The footage already had fan ecstatic as it features Robert Downey Jr. , Tom Holland and Chris Pratt standing together – Iron Man , Spider - Man and Star - Lord , all in one place . But the really gamey stuff was the audience with the Russo brother and Kevin Feige , who tease the sizing and oscilloscope of the movie . Their big confirmation was that Guardians of the Galaxy and the Avengers would indeed meet in Infinity War , a statement that was illustrated with a piece of construct fine art evince Rocket Raccoon and Thor in fight together ( see above ) .
The art is itself very cool , but what ’s really interesting is Thor ’s weapon : it ’s very clearly not Mjolnir . It was revealed via a precis thatThor : Ragnarokwould regard Thor being separated from his trusty hammering for a right chunk of the film , but this art seems to confirm that there will not be a reunion and Thor will conduct on intoAvengers : Infinity Warwith a dissimilar weapon .
Jarnbjorn
wonder being savvy editor program , the nontextual matter is displayed in such a way that the weapon is reasonably obscured . It has a farsighted grip for both single and two-fold - handed holding , and at least one close has either a hammer or a blade - nous . Fan speculation is rearing with two possibilities : an substitute attribute Mjolnir , or Jarnbjorn .
A Mjolnir from another dimension seems unbelievable from the absolute size of it of the objective . No survive iteration of the Godly hammer is that big . However , with Doctor Strange ’s bearing all but support forRagnarokas of his death - course credit scene and Marvel Comics ' recentSecret Warsstoryline bringing the Ultimate universe into the regular one , the movies could start reflecting exchangeable inter - dimensionality . Thor steal another Mjolnir , or one somehow make its mode to our universe would be an interesting means to begin opening up the MCU to some sorting of monumental inter - dimensional crossover , and further highlighting the importance of Doctor Strange ’s movies .
But the most potential prospect is Jarnbjorn , Thor ’s trustworthy axe pre - Mjolnir . Looking at the concept art , the gripping on the grip is a reverse of how Jarnbjorn ’s generally take out in the comic strip , and the head looks flat like an ax - leaf blade . The dwarven - invent sword was used by Thor for long time before he could wield Mjolnir , and it ’s his go - to weapon when he ca n’t use Mjolnir in the comics .
Unworthy
Due to the inscription on Mjolnir , Thor can only maintain the hammer as long as he ’s desirable – once he ’s not , he can no longer move up the mythical weapon . There ’s some precedent for this in Thor ’s late history , as it go on on the back of Marvel’sOriginal Sin . Nick Fury enjoin Thor something that made him unworthy , and Mjolnir then transfer to Jane Foster , causing her to take up the Thor drape . That story is still ongoing , with Thor recently starting off on a astronomic quest to come up the Ultimate universe Mjolnir inUnworthy Thor .
Nick Fury being anywhere near Thor inRagnarokis pretty much insufferable , and the idea of another Mjolnir was discussed above . However , Thor con something about Asgard or Odin or Loki or doing something that induce him to be slimy is entirely possible . Loki is in kick of Asgard as of the goal ofThor : The Dark World , so Thor will likely need to shape another uneasy confederation with his assume brother to succeed against Hela , make some difficult decisions for Odinson
Another Owner
Throughout Thor ’s printed account there have been several other eccentric who have been yield ownership of Mjolnir without Thor explicitly being unable to do so . These have included Beta Ray Bill , a genetically modified exotic , and Captain America himself . Odin has the power to demand Thor deliver the hammer to him , and in the case of Beta Ray Bill , made Thor and account competitiveness to decide who would be the hammer ’s true owner .
We ’ve already view that both the MCU ’s Steve Rogers and Vision can move Mjolnir , and with so many unfounded circuit board and fibre expected in bothRagnarokandInfinity War , another likely user is not just possible but likely . Thor ’s overarching story has been about him check about the cosmos and its battle , becoming a best , more competent likely ruler . Him having to suffer someone else using Mjolnir in battle would be a good employment in humility for the Asgardian prince , and spread out up neat opportunities for action scenes . It ’s unlikely to be someone we ’re already intimate with , unless it ’s someone unrelentingly noble like Black Panther or Groot , but the precedent and theory both linger ( and who would n’t want to see Groot swing music around a mythical hammering ? ) .
Whatever Thor is holding in that scene with Rocket Raccoon , that graphics and that puzzler has served as a reminder of how far these eccentric have come , and how far they still have to go . For Thor , that includes saving his homeworld from destruction and possibly redefine himself as a hero in the process .
