Plot
On his inauguration day, Thor is forced to battle two Frost Giants trying to steal the Casket of Ancient Winters. Him, his brother Loki, Sif and the Warriors Three travel to Jotunheim to battle the Frost Giants, nearly starting a war before Odin shows up and takes the group back to Asgard. Odin then banishes Thor to Earth to live out as a mortal and strips him of his power as a god and his hammer Mjolnir. On Earth, Thor meets Jane Foster, Erik Selvig and Darcy Lewis, and learns empathy while Loki takes the throne in the wake of Odin's Allfather's Sleep. Loki plans to destroy the Frost Giants, but Sif and the Warriors Three arrive on Earth to warn Thor. When Loki sends the Destroyer to kill Thor, he sacrifices himself for all his friends, while gaining back his godly powers and defeating the Destroyer. Him and his Asgardian friends then travel back to Asgard, where Loki kills Frost Giant king Laufey and awakens Odin. Thor and Loki battle, where Thor destroys Asgard's means of transportation, the Bifrost Bridge, defeating Loki while also meaning Thor can never see Jane Foster again. Odin arrives at the battle and Loki falls through as portal, seemingly dying. On Asgard, Thor vows to see Jane once more while on Earth, Jane and her team continue to try and find Thor. In a post-credits scene, Nick Fury approaches Erik Selvig, asking him if he wants to work on the Tesseract, which he agrees. Loki's spirit is then seen on a reflection.
