Thor (Chris Hemsworth)’s Timeline and Summary
- As the Avengers assault Baron von Strucker's hideout, Thor is handing out naps to bad guys left and right.
- Once all Hydra tail is well and truly kicked, Thor cruises on back with the team to headquarters to celebrate their victory.
- Thor agrees to let Tony Stark and Bruce Banner scan Loki's scepter for a few days before he takes it back to Asgard.
- Thor is hoisting a few brewskis at the victory party when Ultron shows up to ruin everybody's buzz. He smashes some of Ultron's Iron Legion bots in return.
- Thor is seriously P.O.'d at Tony Stark for creating Ultron behind the Avengers' back.
- Thor travels to the African coast with the rest of the Avengers to disrupt Ultron's plan to buy vibranium from a South African arms dealer.
- In the melee, Thor gets his mind zapped by Wanda Maximoff. He starts trippin'.
- Thor finds himself at a dreamy dance party, in what looks to be Asgard. His old friend Heimdall comes up to him, with a strange look on his face. Oh wait, that's just because he's got weird, all-white eyeballs.
- Heimdall tells Thor that Thor's leading them all to hell. Worst vacation ever.
- After Wanda hexes the Hulk and he destroys Johannesburg, Thor finds himself back on the Avengers Quinjet, heading to Hawkeye's family safehouse out in the country.
- Thor hangs out for about two seconds, then peaces out. He's after answers to the things he saw in his vision, and they sure aren't here.
- Thor ends up at the University of London, looking slightly suspicious (being a Norse god in a black hoodie can have that effect).
- He's there to meet up with his old friend Erik Selvig—the astrophysicist from the first Avengers movie. The pair end up at “The Water of Sight,” where Thor wants to re-visit the vision he had when Wanda Maximoff brain-blasted him.
- Thor's next move is to crash the fight club that's been brewing over at Avenger's HQ. While Iron Man, Bruce Banner, and Hawkeye fight (literally) with Captain America and the Maximoffs over whether or not to upload J.A.R.V.I.S. into Ultron's android, Thor jumps on top of the cradle and summons down a lightning strike to finish the job.
- After the android comes to his (er, its) senses, Thor drops some context:
- During Thor's dip in the Water of Sight, he learned that the gem in the center of the android's head is the Mind Stone, one of the six infinity stones and capable of unimaginable destruction.
- This info makes folks grudgingly accept the new android (better to have power like that on their side, rather than Ultron's, right?). They all team up and head to Sokovia to rescue Black Widow and power down Ultron once and for all.
- After Ultron launches Sokovia into the air, Thor flies around the city, saving civilians and bopping the evil Iron Legion bots with his hammer. He even tussles with Ultron himself for a bit.
- Eventually, Thor's teammates join him in Sokovia's central church. There they take a stand to stop the cyber-creep from activating a vibranium core that will send the city crashing back to Earth.
- Thor adds his lighting strikes to the android's Mind Stone beam and Iron Man's repulsor rays, triple-teaming Ultron until he chickens out and runs away.
- You would think that this was the end of this hero'ing for the day, but Thor has one last job do: destroy the floating island with himself still on it. That's not too much to ask of a Norse god, right?
- Working with Iron Man, Thor calls down a lightning strike just as an Iron Legion bot triggers the vibranium core. The resulting explosion destroys the entire island, and Thor plummets into the sea below.
- We next see him at the new Avengers headquarters in upstate New York. Thor tells Tony Stark and Captain America that he's taking off to investigate who—or what—is behind all the recent appearances of the infinity stones (the Mind Stone is the fourth one to show up).
- He raises his hammer, and away he goes.
