20 Thor Facts and Easter Eggs We Love (and Thunder)

With (SPOILERS) Cap retired and Tony Stark dead, Thor is now the main character of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The guy has been through a lot since he first appeared on theater screens in 2011. Within just a decade, he came to Earth, lost his father, lost his brother but got him back then lost him again (and maybe will get him back yet again?), lost an eye, got a new eye, lost a hammer, got a new hammer, lost his hair, gained a gut, lost his home, and gained a new one. That’s a lot for a person, god or not.

But shooting all of those movies, from the celebrated Thor: Ragnarok to the we-don’t-need-to-talk-about-it Thor: The Dark World, a lot of interesting things happened behind the scenes. There are also some fun Easter eggs left for fans to spot and annoyingly point out to their friends while watching Chris Hemsworth chuck a hammer at a monster.

Here are some fun facts and Easter eggs hidden within the Thor franchise.

'Immigrant Song'

Too Buff For His Costume

THOR BTS FACTS AND EASTER EGGS THOR CHRIS HEMSWORTH GOT TOO BUFF. Marvel bigwigs told Hemsworth to get as big as you can, and he took it really to heart - he got so big that his costume was cutting off his circulation. Не then toned down his workouts. CRACKED.COM

The Revengers

THOR BTS FACTS AND EASTER EGGS THOR: RAGNAROK THERE IS A SUPERHERO TEAM CALLED THE REVENGERS. Thor's half-joking name for his crew is an obscure reference to a D-list hero stable, consisting of Wonder Man, Atlas, Captain Ultra, Century, Anti- Venom, Demolition Man, Goliath, and Devil-Slayer. Yeah, not exactly household names. CRACKED.COM

The Infinity Gauntlet

THOR BTS FACTS AND EASTER EGGS THOR ODIN HAS AN INFINITY GAUNTLET AMONG HIS TREASURES. It was a nice Easter egg, until we saw Thanos wearing the Gauntlet in the post-credits scene of Avengers: Age of Ultron. To fix this, Hela exposed Odin's Gauntlet as a fake. THOR: RAGNAROK CRACKED.COM

Benedict Cumberbatch

THOR BTS FACTS AND EASTER EGGS THOR: THE DARK WORLD BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH TURNED DOWN A PART. Cumberbatch politely declined to portray Malekith, saying he'd rather hold out for something a bit more juicy. The gamble paid off, and he got the role of Doctor Strange years later. CRACKED.COM
