Regular readers know that a few weeks ago, Thor's hammer (and helmet and toys) turned up at MTV Splash Page HQ, courtesy of the good folks at Hasbro. Your friendly neighborhood editor gladly set aside his pride to call down the imaginary thunder for your amusement, and when "Thor" star Chris Hemsworth dropped by the newsroom recently to talk about his upcoming film, we couldn't help asking him to do the same.
In the following video, you can see for yourself what happened when I asked MTV Movies editor Josh Horowitz to bring along Mjolnir for his interview with Hemsworth.
That's right — we got a first-hand lesson on how to wield Mjolnir, complete with a few hammer tosses. You're welcome.
"There are very flamboyant spins you can do, and little flips even," Hemsworth told MTV News of the proper way to wield the famous hammer. "Other than that, it's about brutally swinging this in the direction of your enemy and ending things."
However, when asked to demonstrate some god-like moves and dialogue, Hemsworth decided to let his on-screen performance do the talking... and the hammer-swinging.
"What would [Thor] say? You'll have to see the movie," he laughed.
Keep it locked to MTV Splash Page all week for more "Thor" news, interviews, video, and images!
