Kratos Creator Shares Early Concept Art for Marvel's Thor Movie

Charlie Wen, creator of God of War’s Kratos and co-founder of Marvel Studios’ Visual Development, released some fun early concept art for Thor on Instagram and Twitter this past week. Wen, whose creations and worlds can been seen in Marvel’s The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and League of Legends, introduced the piece with "here’s a throwback to the very first #thor I had done. It was at Marvel Studio’s infancy, directly after Iron Man 1 -- I had a meeting the next morning with Kevin Feige to talk about designing a Marvel Cinematic Universe." "I was so nerve-racked," Wen wrote on Instagram, "I decided to paint my first Thor (which I included in the meeting;)." Check out the image from Twitter here...

#throwbackthursday ...is that a thing? Well, either way, here’s a throwback to the very first #thor I had done.

  Wen concluded with "You can see how this very first Thor image still had bits left over from spending 6 years developing the fantasy look of the #godofwar games. but even then, I really thought the Celtic knotting and interweaving shapes were working well, so I was super happy to be able to work those elements into the final #thor #designs for the films:)" With Phase 4's first movie Black Widow moved to November (for now), one dedicated Marvel superfan used their time in quarantine to create a comprehensive list of every single MCU scene, arranged in chronological order. Thor: Love and Thunder was initially scheduled for release on Nov. 5, 2021, but the recent release date changes for Marvel's Phase 4 have pushed it back to Feb. 28, 2022. Director Taika Waititi has previously described Love and Thunder as "doubling down on how nuts Ragnarok was."
