Fan CastingThor (2011)

Thor, the arrogant prince of Asgard, is banished to Earth by his father, Odin, after recklessly provoking a war with the Frost Giants. Stripped of his powers, Thor meets scientist Jane Foster, who helps him discover that true strength comes from wisdom and compassion, not just physical power. Meanwhile, Loki, Thor’s brother, learns of his Frost Giant heritage and descends into jealousy and betrayal, believing he must betray Thor to be his equal. In their final battle, Loki confesses, “I never wanted the throne, only to be your equal.” Odin’s morally complex nature is revealed, and when he sorrowfully rejects Loki’s actions, Loki, feeling abandoned, lets himself fall into the void. Thor, now wiser, tells Odin, “You were a good king, but I needed a father,” to which Odin sadly agrees. Post Credits: Dr. Erik Selvig is approached by SHIELD to study the mysterious Tesseract, foreshadowing larger events.
