Thor is out in cinemas now. You can read a couple of great reviews for the film here and here.
As with many of these Marvel Studio films they like to hint at the Marvel Universe in different ways and it appears that Thor is no different.
Possible spoilers ahead. CBM had the image of what appears to be the Eye of Agamotto which was briefly seen in Odin’s Vault along with some other bits and pieces.
The Eye is an amulet that Doctor Strange (the Sorcerer Supreme of Marvel…well he was, but that changed) often uses to cast his spells.
Doctor Strange has long been in development for Marvel so it is good to see little nods to the good Doctor such as this.
Did you spot the Eye in Odin’s Vault? What other goodies where held there?
UPDATE: Marvel’s Kevin Feige talked about the object and Odin’s Vault during an interview with Collider. According to him it is not the Eye of Agamotto.
I’m not sure about Doctor Strange in particular. Oh, I know what they are talking about. That is not Doctor Strange. It is right out of Thor. It is right out of the first Tales of Asgard stories. I think it’s called “The Warlock’s Eye” I think it is verbatim what [Jack] Kirby drew. I think those are the scenes. There is other coverage and stuff where we lingered on those things longer but again “Why are you lingering on that stuff? It has nothing to do with the movie.” “Oh, but it’s cool. People will recognize it.” You can’t do it. But everything in that vault and everything you might see if you pause and look behind people’s shoulders or as the Einherjar soldiers are walking past – everyone of those has a story and it is from the books. There is Thanos’ glove, or certainly a glove that looks like it could be Thanos’ gauntlet, is in there for sure. The Warlock’s Eye thing is in there. There are some swords. There is a sword there that may or may not be eternal. There are a number of things. There is even one, and in fact I’m not sure if you can see this in the movie or not, but there is one that is empty. There was one sort of subchamber of the vault that didn’t have anything in it. So the question is “What used to be in it?”
