Actors Chris Hemsworth, Jaimie Alexander and Tom Hiddleston joined director Kenneth Branagh and others for the world premiere of their new Summer blockbuster film Thor down under in Sydney, Australia tonight (last night for us here on this side of the world). As you should be well aware, Thor is the big screen adaption of the long-running Marvel Comics series set to open here in the US early next month … but Oz was the first country to get the first look at the film. Check out some photos from the red carpet arrivals below.

As you may recall, we saw photos of Hemsworth in Europe last week doing a bit of promo work for the film … but the official world premiere was saved for his home country of Australia this weekend. Altho we are still weeks away from Thor‘s release here in the US, I am getting really excited for the film. I am really looking forward to seeing the Norse God of Thunder brought to life on the big screen. It shant be long now. Great photos, yeah?
