'Team Thor' Reveals What the Asgardian Avenger Was Doing During 'Captain America: Civil War'
Thanks to Captain America: Civil War, we know all about Team Cap and Team Iron Man. Team Thor, on the other hand, remained a mystery — at least until San Diego Comic-Con in July, when we learned that Asgardian ass-kicker was chilling Down Under with his new BFF via a laugh-out-loud mini-mockumentary.
Now, to accompany the home edition of Civil War, Marvel has publicly released the full 3-minute clip (watch above), helmed by Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi in the style of his slice-of-undead-life 2014 vampire spoof What We Do in the Shadows (which in turn owes a debt to Ricky Gervais’s The Office).
So what was the hammer-happy demigod (Chris Hemsworth) doing while his fellow Avengers tried to disassemble each other?
“I went to Australia for some me time,” Thor Odinsor relates as he hangs with the nonplussed Darryl Jacobson.
Along the way, Thor dictates an “electronic letter” to Tony Stark and Captain America offering his services, teaches kids about his fellow heroes, and reveals his personal crazy wall connecting the Infinity Stones to Thanos (a.k.a. The Purple Man in the Floating Chair), which provides a handy-dandy primer for the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War.
We also witness an awkward café meeting between Thor and his fellow Civil War-skipping Avenger Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), who fields a call from Tony “T-Bone” Stark begging Hulk to join the fray. Of course, Thor and Hulk will be teaming up for some serious action in Thor: Ragnarok, coming in November 2017.
Meanwhile, Captain America: Civil War , whose many bonus features include “Team Thor” along with a preview of the upcoming Doctor Strange, arrives Tuesday on Digital HD and Sept. 13 on Blu-ray/DVD.
