Well, it seems like a big week for Marvel movie images, with a shot of Chris Evans in Captain America costume released earlier this week, as well as the first official photo of Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man released. Now Marvel.com has a new image of Chris Hemsworth as Thor from the upcoming movie adaption of their popular series:

Directed by Kenneth Branagh, the epic adventure “Thor” spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard.  At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war.  Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment.  Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.

The screenplay for “Thor” was penned by Mark Protosevich as well as Ashley Miller & Zack Stentz, and Don Payne.  Marvel Studios’ President Kevin Feige will produce the film.  Alan Fine, Stan Lee, David Maisel and Marvel Studio’s Co-President, Louis D’Esposito, will executive produce.

Thor will be released on May 6th, 2011.
