Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment have released the official plot synopsis for their upcoming film Thor, the big screen adaptation of the popular comic featuring that guy with the hammer. I know that this isn’t the most exciting bit of news in the world, but I’m sure there are some of you out there who will find this to be interesting. It also confirms that Thor will include elements of both Asgard and Earth, something that has previously been the subject of much debate. Check out the official synopsis below:

Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment present the epic adventure, “Thor,” which spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is the mighty Thor (Chris Hemsworth), a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth by his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and is forced to live among humans. A beautiful, young scientist, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), has a profound effect on Thor, as she ultimately becomes his first love. It’s while here on Earth that 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.

Thor will be in theaters on May 6, 2011.
