Thor Teaser Poster Keeps Things Simple

Earlier today came the announcement that the first official for Thor - not counting the leaked footage from Comic Con - would be attached to the release of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Judging by the description it won't be too different from the video that we've already seen, but you know what is new? This awesome poster!

Cropping up over at Marvel.com, it appears they are going for the elegant, minimalist approach. While perhaps a bit cliched and perhaps a bit too Frank Miller-esque, I also like how they've drained the color from the entire poster with the exception of his flowing red cape. Obviously the future posters will be a bit more action packed to try and draw in the summer blockbuster crowd, but for now let's just enjoy this polished teaser poster.

Check it out below and catch Thor in theaters on May 6, 2011.
