TIME 

Adapting Thor to the big 

screen was no stroll through 

Asgard. Two screenwriters 

who tackled the task talk 

about the potential pitfalls, 

the Marvel Universe ... and 

Shakespeare 

BY ROD O’CONNOR 

UNITED.COM • 5

There is perhaps no job more masochistic 

than adapting a beloved comic to the big screen. With all the bloggers 

and news outlets and teenage boys standing ready to denounce the tiniest 

factual goof, just booting up the laptop is enough to make even the 

steeliest Hollywood screenwriter quiver a bit in his elbow patches. Now 

imagine: In addition to satisfying the great comic blogosphere, you also 

have to be faithful to Norse mythology, and leave enough open plotlines to 

enable the entire universe of Marvel’s earthbound crusaders to join forces 

in the most ambitious comic book movie of all time. No big deal, right? 

Despite the weight placed on their slender shoulders, screenwriters 

Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz (along with Don Payne) pulled off 

a spirited—and largely faithful—big screen version of Thor, the Marvel 

comic about the blond, brawny, hammer-wielding God of Thunder who 

is banished to Earth by his wise but short-fused father Odin. Though 

mostly guilty-pleasure popcorn fare, the movie stands on its own and 

includes enough teasers to please hardcore fans salivating for The Avengers, 

next summer’s Marvel movie that brings Thor together with Iron Man, 

Captain America and the Hulk. The seeming impossibility of the task 

notwithstanding, the movie has received favorable reviews and garnered 

$434 million in worldwide box offi ce sales. 

Miller and Stentz, who also co-wrote this summer’s X-Men: First Class 

(another adored Marvel comic-based movie) are calling Thor an unqualifi 

ed success. Here, they talk about meeting fans’ expectations, working 

with Kenneth Branagh and the most time-honored theme in Hollywood: 

powerful people behaving badly. 

PLAY: So are you both serious comic 

book fans? 

STENTZ: I’m a Thor fan, but I came at 

it much more from mythology. I was 

a Greek and Norse mythology nut as 

a kid. 

MILLER: I’ve been a comic book fan 

since I was li le, and particularly a fan 

of Thor, believe it or not. I think that’s 

one of the reasons we got the job. We 

were able to talk about the character 

and about the world authoritatively. 

That’s a huge leg up for an adaptation. 

PLAY: Is a working knowledge of the 

character and universe a prerequisite for 

adapting a superhero comic? 

MILLER: Honestly, a comic book 

adaptation is no diff erent from any 

other adaptation. If you walk into the 

job not understanding the material, 

you have no business adapting it. 

STENTZ: But just because you are a 

fan doesn’t mean you have to be a 

slave to the source. It’s like adapting a 

play or a novel. You still use all of your 

tools as a writer to determine what’s 

going to translate from one medium 

to another. 

PLAY: What was the biggest challenge in 

writing the screenplay? 

STENTZ: We like to joke that there 

were many, many ways of making a 

bad Thor movie, and not very many 

ways of making a good one. There 

are a lot of potential pitfalls in the 

material. It could very easily come 

across as goofy or intellectual rather 

than something that grabs you 

emotionally. 

PLAY: It must have been cool creating 

what’s essentially a Shakespearean story 

alongside director Kenneth Branagh, who’s 

been doing Shakespeare for decades. 

MILLER: It was one of the great 

creative experiences of our careers. 

I’ve been a fan of his since discovering 

his adaptation of Henry V, which 

turned me on to Shakespeare. What 

was great about developing Thor with 

him is that he was able to set aside 

all the thees and thous and the pomp 

and circumstance and say, “How is 

this a story about these two boys and 

their father?” 

STENTZ: Ken gets that Shakespeare 

wasn’t writing his history plays for 

people who wanted to understand the 

political landscape of Tudor England. 

People were interested in these 

incredibly emotional family dynamics. 

He ended up being an inspired 

choice to do Thor because he used 

that same philosophy for this. 

PLAY: The main diff erence is that he has a 

much bigger budget to work with. 

STENTZ: Yeah, I think the catering 

budget on Thor was probably about 

what was spent on Henry V. [Laughs] 

PLAY: Is it an advantage to write about one 

of the lesser-known Marvel heroes versus, 

say, Spider-Man?

STENTZ: Every character in the 

Marvel universe is someone’s absolute 

favorite. There are people who 

have spent their lives loving these 

characters and have a Mjolnir [Thor’s 

hammer] ta oo. But you can’t let that 

stuff get into your head. And Marvel, 

for their part, was great about not 

pu ing pressure one way or the other 

in terms of expectations. Obviously 

we are building toward The Avengers, 

but they very much wanted a movie 

that could stand on its own and possibly, 

knock on wood, launch a sequel. 

PLAY: Do you ever check the fan sites to 

fi nd out what people think? 

STENTZ: I stay away from it while 

we’re actually working. But a er the 

fact, I’m intensely curious. 

MILLER: Fans—and this includes us— 

can be proprietary about the material 

they love. They have favorite stories, 

favorite moments. What’s important 

to them is that what you do doesn’t 

deny what they love. If you can manage 

that, you can pre y much count 

on them being pleased. 

PLAY: So the notion of being totally “faithful” 

to a comic book is sort of impossible? 

STENTZ: Exactly. But that’s not to 

say you don’t mine the material 

for things that are great. There are 

fantastic storylines in the comic 

books, some of which you can 

translate almost directly. 

PLAY: In Thor, how did you decide what to 

use from the comic and what to leave out? 

STENTZ: Probably the most prominent 

example is that in the original 

comic books, Thor, like most of the 

comic book heroes of the age, had an 

alter ego [named] Donald Blake. He 

was a partially handicapped medical 

student who turned into Thor. There 

were discussions back and forth at 

Marvel, with the conclusion that an 

alter ego who doesn’t even physically 

look like the hero doesn’t work in a 

movie context. So that was ditched. 

But there are ways to nod at the idea 

of Donald Blake, to say yes, we are 

aware of this and in a way it becomes 

a fun addition for the comic book 

readers and goes over the heads of 

everyone else. 

PLAY: With The Avengers coming out next 

year, these Marvel movies have become 

more than standalone projects. Even 

casual fans are looking for clues. Were you 

directed to weave in plot points to connect 

Thor to the rest of the Marvel universe? 

MILLER: In some ways it was exactly 

the opposite. The primary objective 

was to write a great Thor movie 

fi rst and let The Avengers take care 

GOOD GODS ALMIGHTY Thor 

(Chris Hemsworth) and Odin 

(Anthony Hopkins) have a brief 

meeting with Kenneth Branagh 

UNITED.COM • 7 

of itself. If anything, we probably 

pushed more into the story that integrated 

Thor to the rest of the universe 

than anyone initially anticipated. 

PLAY: It must be fun as writers to play with 

all of those teasers, the Easter eggs. For 

example, you briefl y mentioned Hawkeye, 

another superhero who’s going to be in The 

Avengers. 

MILLER: Absolutely. I think our fi rst 

dra of Thor had more Easter eggs 

than the White House lawn. 

STENTZ: The thing in superhero 

movies for a while was to treat each 

emergence of a superhero as the 

fi rst time that it had happened in 

the entire world. And to make each 

universe complete and independent. 

And if you’re a comic book reader, 

you know that there is the Marvel 

universe and the DC universe—these 

wonderful, rich places, where sometimes 

one superhero might interact 

with another. That hadn’t really 

happened in a big way in movies until 

Marvel started this experiment. 

PLAY: What can you tell us about 

The Avengers? 

MILLER: To paraphrase Agent Coulson 

(a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in Iron Man and 

Thor), they don’t tell us anything. 

PLAY: And a Thor sequel? 

STENTZ: We don’t know anything 

offi cially other than looking at the 

global box offi ce steadily ticking 

towards $450 million and thinking 

that not many fi lms make that much 

money without ge ing sequels. 

MILLER: Obviously we want to see 

Thor continue. We feel like parents 

and there’s our li le boy, and he’s 

big and beautiful and everybody 

likes him… 

STENTZ: And he has a hammer.
