Thor Odinson is a character portrayed by Chris Hemsworth in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise, based on the Marvel Comics character and Norse mythological deity of the same name. He is depicted as the God of Thunder and one of the most powerful Asgardians, an ancient alien civilization with long ties to Earth whose members are considered gods by humans. Thor wields a powerful big hammer called Mjolnir and is initially portrayed as the arrogant heir to the throne of Asgard whose brash behavior causes turmoil among the Nine Realms under Asgard's protection. This brings him into conflict with his treacherous adoptive brother, Loki, god of mischief.
