Iron Man 2 screenwriter Justin Theroux recently confirmed that there would be an easter egg following the credits of the film just like the Samuel L. Jackson/Nick Fury cameo after the credits of the first Iron Man. Said Theroux:
No, [the easter egg's] got to be very specific because you can’t…if it was all of a sudden Tony opens a tool box and there’s a friggin’ hammer in there, you can’t bone the next guy. You know it’s not like…you want to create possibilities. So that’s a very thought out piece. If the shield all of a sudden just falls out of the sky, whatever it is, whatever that thing is, you want to be very specific about it.
Images from the easter egg have now leaked. If you want to be surprised, do not hit the jump. This is going to ruin the easter egg and part of the enjoyment of seeing it in the theater. That being said, we know a lot of people want to see them now so we’re giving you the choice. To see the leaked images and how they correspond to an earlier statement by Marvel Studios President of Production Kevin Feige, hit the jump:
Comic geeks will instantly recognize one of the images as Thor’s hammer, Mjolner. It also appears that Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) is possibly talking to someone on the phone about said hammer (which may have something to do with that gigantic smoldering crater over Coulson’s shoulder). So it looks like it was Thor’s hammer and not Captain America’s shield that fell from the sky.
These images also relate back to what Feige said to us about how The Incredible Hulk happens around the same time as Iron Man 2. Since we now see the hammer lying in the desert, we know that Thor happens within the same time frame as both Iron Man 2 and The Incredible Hulk. As Feige said, “just because it’s 4-5 years between movies doesn’t mean it’s 4-5 years in movie time.”
Thor hits theaters on May 6, 2011.

This is definitely going to get taken down and there will be a huge backlash against it.
Here's the scene.
Hurry before it gets taken down from Youtube.

Damn. I was hoping they would go the Ultimate route with Thor. Oh well, still can't wait…
why would you want cyborg thor? ultimate thor is crap.
can't wait for the thor movie, it's gonna be epic.
Why if the hammer if lying in the desert do we know it's the same time frame? I'm missing something…
I think me and Easter eggs have a Love/Hate relationship. I can't wait to see them, but when i do I get angry because i have to wait even more. This is the exact reason I watch 24 by the season. when TV Shows and Movies “Leave me hanging” its like waiting for Christmas every week. Kinda sux.
But regardless of the Reviews for this movie my $10 is already invested. Might as well watch the Egg, because i like Spoilers too.
100% Agree! Classic Thor is the better one. Can't wait, bring on May 6th
I am not a die-hard marvel fan, so for many reasons the ultimate take on Thor appeals to me more as a character. I could believe a guy like the Ultimate Thor running around then some massive brute in Norse gear. I love ultimate Thor's hammer a hell of a lot more as well.

dang its off!
they need a marvel/Dc cross movie…some how Thor and Superman has to fight…freak'n epic…or Hulk vs superman..yeaa
what do u mean by easter egg?
what do u mean by easter egg?
Stupid… so stupid Avengers is gonna be a EPIC FAIL, you know you want it, so most of you might say to me “are you crazy”? but the idea is totally stupid, and please DC, don't take this route with your heroes. The dark, grittie and realistic Batman, cannot be put on screen with aliens with blue outfits and red capes…. it would ruin the reality of it.
Nolan knows this stuff, that's why on HIS Batman world, there are no superheroes. He said it himself, and he certainly knows his stuff.
on the other hand, the solo Thor film, I'm sure is gonna be great. Everything is shaping for something good, but captain America is going to be another fail, poor choice of director, poorer choice of main lead… and the whole Avengers subplot, really damaged Iron Man 2 from being superior to the first one

What? You mean a man running around earth thinking he is a Norse God, being jailed as looney (see IM2 screencap), only to find out he really is the God of Thunder..but Loki was manipulating things behind the scenes…which brings the Avengers together.
Sorry isnt that The Ultimate universe storyline more or less with regards to Thor?
You need to remember they take a little bit of this and a little bit of that (Both Universes) to make their story.
Cyborg Thor was from the mainstream Marvel Universe was he not? During Civil War?
Why is the idea of bringing the Earths Mightiest heroes together a “bad idea” and totally stupid?
Meh DC can and will do it also. Nolan does not “own” Batman. He can say whatever he wants about the films he is doing but guess who has final approval? As for Bats and Aliens, it can be done finally showing people that Batman while dark and gritty can be very militaristic, sneaky and conniving in his methodology in taking out a foe that may be greater in numbers or overall strength then he.
“…need to remember…”? I need to remember to pay my rent, call my girlfriend, and feed my cat. This matter isn't that serious for me… Knock yourself out though…
You do know, Thor in Ultimates is a God as well. It is proved in Ultimates 3 that the belt isn't what gives him power. He is indeed a Norse God. To say you like the character more cause of the gear is…forgive me…stupid.
The characterizations in Mainstream Marvel 616 is far superior to Ultimates, Ultimates fails..just read Ultimatum and you'll see what I mean
Yeah, he was created by Reed Richards and Stark
He's taken the name Ragnarok
It's been confirmed that it wasn't Thor in the jail cell. It was confirmed by Jon Favreau himself. To believe otherwise is ignorance of the highest degree
No , I really don't. I am not an avid reader of comics. only reason I know the 616 even exists is because of Wikipedia. I was really only introduced to Marvel Comics( buying and such) with the Ultimate line. I admit I am more into tech than fantasy. But they way Thor was introduced and his more modern mind-set and seemingly being an eco-terrorist seemed like a cool concept. Not just his look. Same reason I may like Stephen King but Duma Key is one of my fave books because I could relate to the characters more because of there contemporary setting. I only got up to Ultimates 2 so I didn't know about this revelation of which you typed in Ultimates 3. Nothing stupid aboput it. Just a matter of opinion my good man…
I BELIEVE! When was this confirmed? Sorry I missed it. Also are you saying directors/writers etc have never misled their fan base saying one thing then turning around and doing something else?
To believe everything you read is a complete ignorance of the highest degree. Not saying you are wrong just the way you delivered it.
the movie rocked
@ Yahzee
How does it feel to eat crow two years after denouncing The Avengers as crap?
Seeing the Avengers play out on the big screen after seeing four flicks with the individual characters, and most importantly, seeing those characters played by the same actors who played them in their individual films, definitely made The Avengers feel like a comic-book brought to life.
And it was great. Way better than it had any right to be. This was a movie that could have gone wrong in a million different ways, and yet, not only did it work, but it worked so extremely well that I’m eagerly awaiting what Marvel does next with the universe that it’s spent so much time and given so much care to building up over the years. Especially after seeing the mid-credits reveal. It was hugely unexpected, and sets up the potential for some really kick-ass stuff post-Avengers and into Avengers 2.
As for DC and Warner, they’ve long had the ability to bring their characters together that Marvel didn’t have until the last decade or so, but I suppose they never saw the potential in a unified film universe that Marvel did. Now that Marvel’s gamble has paid off, I’m not sure that DC keeping its characters relegated to separate franchises is going to satisfy people for much longer after Nolan’s Batman franchise wraps up this Summer. I can only hope that Nolan’s assistance on Snyder’s Superman means that they’re considering unifying they’re franchises after all, though I don’t envy DC the possibility that taking a page from Marvel’s playbook might reek a bit of desperation. I couldn’t care less, as I’d love to see a fully realized JLA flick, and I don’t think one would work unless they took the time to establish the characters beforehand like Marvel did with The Avengers to great success.
