As a person who will admit to only knowing the bare minimum of Thor, that certainly won't get me in the theater.

Lawnmower Man? Or Rise of the Robots?

[BerringerX]

From the looks of it, it's fairly comics accurate.

[Dolemite]

I'm not a huge Thor fan or anything, but I know what the Destroyer is. It's like this armor that the gods can project into and control for battle, right?

[kingoffighters]

I don't known anything about Destroyer, but why should Thor be worried about a villain in bunny slippers?

[YellerDog]

If that's a Jack Kirby design, man, its one of the dumber ones.

The Destroyer is an enchanted suit of armor forged by Odin, and when it first appeared it was hinted that the Destroyer had been created as a weapon to face some dark menace from the stars. It is first seen residing in the Temple of darkness in Asia. The Destroyer is used by Thor's arch-foe Loki on several occasions, and each time has actually come close to killing Thor. It is next salvaged by Karnilla and animated by Sif, who uses it to battle the Wrecker and Thor. At one stage Thor offers the armor to the World Devourer Galactus, in exchange for the release of Galactus' current Herald, Firelord. Galactus accepts, and the Destroyer acts as his Herald, detecting Counter-Earth for him and going on to battle the Fantastic Four until finally recaptured for reuse by Loki.

Years later the menace from the stars is revealed to be the Celestials, with the Skyfather gods (e.g., Odin; Zeus etc.) having pooled their resources a millennium before to create a weapon to stop the arrival of the so-called Fourth Host of Celestials. At the penultimate moment, Odin enters the Destroyer armor and then absorbs the life essences of all present in Asgard (with the exception of absent Thor), growing to a height of 2,000 feet (610 m). The Destroyer then draws the Odinsword, and with the Uni-Mind confronts the Fourth Host, who dissipate the Uni-Mind and melt the Destroyer armor into slag. The armor, however, is not completely ruined and several years later Loki reforms the armor in a bid to destroy a severely weakened Thor. Thor, however, wrests control of the armor from the host - an enthralled Frost Giant named Siggorth - through sheer force of will and goes on to defeat Loki and then the death goddess Hela, who is forced to restore Thor to his true form. The Destroyer is left in a crystal in Hela's realm, and is eventually animated by the goddess Lorelei. Lorelei battles several Asgardians and becomes trapped in the dimension of the Great Beasts.

The Destroyer is later deployed by trolls, who empower it with the spirit of the Maestro, an evil version of the Hulk. Although the Hulk fails to defeat the Destroyer in combat, he is able to enter the Destroyer and fight the Maestro for control and defeat it from within. Thor has two more encounters with the Destroyer, with the armor almost killing him on the first occasion and breaking his jaw on the second. The armor is eventually retrieved by Loki and occupied by the entity Desak, although Thor - equipped with the Odinpower - decapitates it with one throw of Mjolnir.

The armor was later under the control of the god Balder when Thor was on a quest to locate his missing brethren, the Asgardians. Doctor Doom takes possession of the Destroyer armor and uses a copy to attack the Asgardians.

Theyre not going to give a multimillion dollar blockbuster to some wrestler that has never acted before
