In an interview with USA Today, Marvel president of production Kevin Feige had this to say about the solo image:

“It doesn’t get much badder than Chris Hemsworth as Thor. It’s rare that you have a poster that is just Chris Hemsworth shooting on the set, but he just looks like Thor.

“We just put in some lightning, and he’s got his hammer and you’re there. It’s just an incredibly striking image.”

The poster was taken while the crew was filming for the movie, set for worldwide release on November 8.

“Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos…but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all.”
