The screenshot Crowe has selected comes from a somewhat more racy moment in the trailer, when with just a wave of his finger, Crowe strips Thor entirely (and we mean all) of his clothing, leaving the Almighty Thor sobbing out “You flicked too hard, damn it!” to the world., crying out “You flicked too hard, dammit!”.
