Thor History
In Germanic mythology, Thor
(/θɔːr/; from Old Norse: Þórr) is a
hammer-wielding god associated
with lightning, thunder, storms,
sacred groves and trees, strength,
the protection of mankind and also
hallowing and fertility. Besides Old
Norse Þórr, the deity occurs in Old
English as Þunor, in Old Frisian as
Thuner, in Old Saxon as Thunar,
and in Old High German as Donar,
all ultimately stemming from the
Common Germanic theonym
*Þunraz, meaning 'thunder'.
Thor is a prominently mentioned
god throughout the recorded
history of the Germanic peoples,
from the Roman occupation of
regions of Germania, to the
Germanic expansions of the
Migration Period, to his high
popularity during the Viking Age,
when, in the face of the process of
the Christianization of
Scandinavia, emblems of his
hammer, Mjölnir, were worn and
Norse pagan personal names
containing the name of the god
bear witness to his popularity.
Into the modern period, Thor
continued to be acknowledged in
rural folklore throughout
Germanic-speaking Europe. Thor is
frequently referred to in place
names, the day of the week
Thursday bears his name (modern
English Thursday derives from Old
English þunresdæġ, 'Þunor's day'),
and names stemming from the
pagan period containing his own
continue to be used today,
particularly in Scandinavia. Thor
has inspired numerous works of art
and references to Thor appear in
modern popular culture. Like other
Germanic deities, veneration of
Thor is revived in the modern
period in Heathenry.

leaving it in "development hell" for
several years. During this time, the rights
were picked up by various film studios
until Marvel signed Mark Protosevich to
develop the project in 2006, and
planned to finance and release it
through Paramount. Matthew Vaughn
was assigned to direct the film for a
tentative 2010 release. However, after
Vaughn was released from his holding
deal in 2008, Branagh was approached
and the film's release was rescheduled

when producer Kevin Feige announced plans for it to
