Sif: Thor!
Loki: WE MUST GO!
Thor: Then go!
- In Norse Mythology, Loki is Odin's adopted brother, not Thor's.
- This is Rene Russo's first film in six years. According to Russo, her daughter who persuaded her to work on the film after a long sabbatical.
- Kenneth Branagh was inspired to do the scene where Odin rips off Thor's chestplates from The Life of Emile Zola (1937), where a disgraced army officer was stripped of his rank.
- According to Don Payne, Jane Foster was more of a stereotypical scientist (dry and skeptical), but Natalie Portman wished to revise the character to make her more poetic: "She thought Jane could be someone who thinks outside of the box, someone whose theories are considered outlandish and are frowned upon by the scientific community. But it's the kind of thinking that leads to great discoveries. When Thor arrives, she's willing to take a leap of faith - and she has to pay the consequences for it."
- To prepare for his role as Loki, Tom Hiddleston trained in the Brazilian martial art of capoeira.
