For Thor's arrogance, Odin strips his son of his godly power and exiles him to Earth as a mortal, accompanied by his hammer MjГ¶lnir, now protected by an enchantment that allows only the worthy to wield it. A battle ensues until Odin intervenes to save the Asgardians, destroying the fragile truce between the two races. Against Odin's order, Thor travels to Jotunheim to confront Laufey, accompanied by Loki, childhood friend Sif and the Warriors Three: Volstagg, Fandral, and Hogun. In the present, Odin's son Thor prepares to ascend to the throne of Asgard, but is interrupted when Frost Giants, secretly allowed in by his brother Loki, attempt to retrieve the Casket. The Asgardian warriors defeat the Frost Giants in TГёnsberg, Norway, and seize the source of their power, the Casket of Ancient Winters. In 965 AD, Odin, king of Asgard, wages war against the Frost Giants of Jotunheim and their leader Laufey, to prevent them from conquering the Nine Realms, starting with Earth. A fourth film, Thor: Love and Thunder, is scheduled to be released in July 2022. Two sequels have been released: Thor: The Dark World (2013) and Thor: Ragnarok (2017). Critics praised the performances, characters, themes and special effects but criticized the plot. The film was a financial success, earning $449.3 million worldwide. Thor premiered in Sydney on April 17, 2011, and was released in the United States on May 6, as part of Phase One of the MCU.

Matthew Vaughn was assigned to direct the film for a tentative 2010 release. 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. Sam Raimi first developed the concept of a film adaptation based on Thor in 1991, but soon abandoned the project, leaving it in ' development hell' for several years.
