Total Film Magazine May 2011 Thor Chris Hemsworth Marvel Movie Issue SKU 1491

Original Total Film magazine – May 2011, dominated by a dramatic Thor / Marvel cover featuring Chris Hemsworth as Thor in full armour with his red cape and Mjolnir.

This is a particularly strong early Marvel Cinematic Universe issue, produced around the release of the first Thor film and heavily themed around Marvel and superhero cinema. The front describes it as “The Marvel Movie Issue”, with the main feature promoted as “Total Access! THOR – Meet the new superhero god.” The issue is therefore a very appealing period collectible for fans of Thor, Chris Hemsworth, Marvel films and early MCU memorabilia. The Thor cover itself was being publicised in March 2011 as the upcoming May issue.

Main Thor / Marvel Feature

The central image is an imposing full-length shot of Chris Hemsworth as Thor, wearing the character's black and silver Asgardian armour, red cape and holding his famous hammer Mjolnir.

The issue promotes extensive coverage of the film and the arrival of Thor as a major screen superhero. Contemporary references to this particular issue describe it as containing a multi-page Thor feature.

The cover's Marvel theme extends beyond Thor, with prominent references to:

• The Hulk – with the cover line discussing why “it’s not easy being green”
• Spider-Man – teasing the next screen incarnation of Peter Parker
• The wider Marvel movie landscape

This makes the magazine more than simply a Thor cover issue; it captures an important period when Marvel's interconnected film universe was rapidly expanding.

Other Notable Features

The front cover also promotes a substantial selection of contemporary film personalities and forthcoming productions, including:

• Joseph Gordon-Levitt discussing Christopher Nolan
• Michelle Williams on Marilyn Monroe
• Henry Cavill discussing Superman
• Marion Cotillard
• Natalie Portman
• Duncan Jones
• Scream 4
• Fast Five
• Super 8
• Godzilla
• Cloverfield 2 coverage / speculation

For collectors of 2010s cinema magazines, this is a very representative issue of the period, combining superhero features, major actors, horror, action and upcoming blockbuster coverage.
