Marvel Comics makes Thor a woman
(MENAFN- Arab News) NEW YORK:
Marvel Comics announced Tuesday that the hammer-wielding Norse superhero will be a woman in upcoming comic book issues. Marvel was thin on details explaining the switch but said in a press release that 'no longer is the classic male hero able to hold the mighty hammer."
The new Thor was debuted on 'The View" where artwork was revealed showcasing a buxom blonde clad a caped costume and brandishing the trademark hammer.
Series writer Jason Aaron says in a statement that 'This is not She-Thor. This is not Lady Thor. ... This is THE Thor."
The Marvel universe has historically been male-dominated but that may be changing. Marvel Studios is developing a stand-alone film for Black Widow the character played by Scarlett Johansson.
