Check Out Thor's Hollywood Premiere

FOX 11 News video report.

Hollywood - It's taken a long time for the Marvel Comics character Thor to make it off the page and onto the big screen... and it's also been a little bit of a wait for the stars and filmmakers to finally see their work arrive in theaters.

FOX 11's Hal Eisner has the story from the El Capitan Theatre in the video report.

Story Script:

THOR THE MOVIE... LIKE THOR THE MARVEL COMIC BOOK... IS ABOUT A POWERFUL BUT ARROGANT WARRIOR WHOSE RECKLESS ACTIONS REIGNITE AN ANCIENT WAR.

HE'S BANISHED TO EARTH AND FORCED TO BE AMONG HUMANS.

STAN LEE CREATED THIS ABOUT 50 YEARS AGO.

BACK THEN, YOU COULD GET A COPY FOR 12 CENTS. NOW, FIVE DECADES LATER, IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE BUT THIS MIGHTY HERO IS A BIT OF A STRANGER TO SOME WE TALKED WITH.

WHY THOR? WHY NOW?

STAN LEE
"WELL, WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR VARIETY AND WHAT COULD OFFER MORE VARIETY THAN A SUPERHERO THAT'S A GOD. THERE ARE NO GOD SUPERHEROES!"

BUT, ALONG THE RED CARPET FOR THE "GOOD VERSUS EVIL" MOVIE, THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH THOR WAS ALSO REFLECTING ON THE DEATH OF OSAMA BIN LADIN.

STAN LEE
"I WAS SO HAPPY. I THOUGHT IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN. I THOUGHT HE WOULD DIE AND THEN WE WOULD FIND HIS BODY THAT TO ME WOULD'VE BEEN FRUSTRATING."

CHRIS HEMSWORTH
"FOR ME IT'S A CHANCE TO REFLECT ON THE PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES BECAUSE OF THIS GUY AND MY HEART GOS OUT TO ALL THE FAMILIES AND FRIENDS WHO HAVE SUFFERED BECAUSE OF HIM."

KENNETH BRANAGH
"YOU FEEL AS THOUGH THE FINALITY OF THAT YOU HOPE MAYBE DRAWS A LINE ON THE VERY VIOLENCE OF EPOCH AND HOLDS THE PROMISE OF MORE LASTING PEACE.
