The new superhero films that are being released have taken audiences by storm. The difference with the films coming out now and the older hero movies is that now there is a lot more grit to the films, making us see just how vulnerable a hero can be.

Because superheroes have become so popular over the last few years that there are now many businesses making money from whatever they can in the superhero trend. Even games producers are creating high quality games that portray heroes in a new way to engage fans and really get them into what the true essence of a superhero is.

There are loads of people interested in superheroes now. Before it was the case that anyone who read comics was uncool and a social outcast, but now everyone is getting into comic book heroes and finding out about all of the things that aren’t shown in the movies.

If you are looking for a Halloween costume idea, you could choose a Thor movie costume. The film has a number of exciting characters to choose from. It also has a wide range of truly awesome costumes that will be good for parties, school events and competitions.

The main character in the movie is Thor, the god of thunder. He is clad in a sweeping red cloak and wields a terrifying iron hammer. Thor is possibly a prototype for the modern superhero. Choose a weighty fabric to make the cloak but not too heavy to wear the actor down. Material cut from curtains make a good choice. The hammer can be made from polystyrene stuck to a card tube such as those in a roll of paper towel. Use a black or dark grey latex or spray paint for color.
