As per @phantom42's comment [LINK] , the actual enchantment we see placed on Mjölnir in the Marvel Cinematic universe is: Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor. It's possible that Mjölnir has some non-enchantment-based property - e.g. mass, magnetism - that makes it impossible to lift it without "the power of Thor" (whatever that is). However, I think the events of the movies make more sense if the hammer has no such property, but the enchantment also prevents the unworthy from wielding Mjölnir. The word "wield" implies control and intention [LINK] . When Thor drops Mjölnir while on board the Helicarrier, the pilot isn't using Mjölnir for a purpose jus

In the movie, the enchantment is actually over who "holds" "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor." [this video] .

No. Mjolnir can't be lifted, or by extension moved, by an unworthy person. But beyond that restriction (and its ability to fly when summoned, etc), the hammer acts like any other hunk of metal. Touch it to the ceiling and let go, and it will simply fall. Put it on a glass table and then shatter the table, and it will fall. Put it on the end of a baseball bat and you'll drop the bat, because you are unable to lift Mjolnir, but upon dropping the bat, the hammer will simply fall. We've seen the hammer behave normally, according to physics, when it interacts with outside forces. (For example, its path is altered when it impacts particularly heavy/dense/tough objects or people, and it "fell" into

As with much of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Asgardians, their lifestyles, their technology, and their magic remain intentionally mysterious. With that said, there is no canonical information explaining how their technology works. Since the MCU has only designated that the Asgardians are an advanced technological species, it does not specify how that technology works or why it works. They have sophisticated metallurgy, city development, food creation, interplanetary travel, via ships or instantaneous transport (Bifrost) but the underlying physics of their sciences are never explained. We don't know if its nanotechnology, though it has some semblance of that. It is evidently sophisticat

The enchantment on Mjolnir (the hammer) is not made until Thor (the character) is banished to Earth in Thor (the movie). Long, long after Hela used it when she went a conquering with Odin. Up until that time presumably anyone Odin gave the hammer to could wield it without restriction. I don't believe just anyone could have taken it though, because the hammer returns to the caller. There would have to be some kind of 'ownership' of the hammer so it knew who to return to when called. Odin calls it from Thor's side, maybe the hammer is loyal to the Asgardian throne. The interesting thing about that whole scene now, is that Thor is very much like the young Odin, apparently. He wants the 9 realms

Technically anyone pre- Thor , so pre-2011, would have been able to wield Mjolnir as the worthiness enchantment was only placed on it then. However, as we only get a very brief glimpse of this time period we don't actually see anyone else wield Mjolnir. Odin: Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor. Thor , Mjolnir's enchantment Onto those we've actually seen wield it though. Thor Obviously Thor wields Mjolnir and although he temporarily loses the ability to wield Mjolnir in Thor , he becomes worthy again at the end of the film. [LINK] Odin He can clearly be seen wielding Mjolnir, he does so when he banishes Thor and actually can still wield it after he p
