As promised, the first trailer to Thor: The Dark World was unleashed upon the web today. The second film in Marvel’s Phase Two of big screen adventures, this post-Avengers-set sequel to 2011’s Thor reunites Chris Hemsworth as the Mighty Avenger and Norse God of Thunder with Natalie Portman (Jane Foster), Kat Dennings (Darcy Lewis), Anthony Hopkins (Odin), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Stellan Skarsgård (Dr. Selvig), Idris Elba (Heimdall) and Jaimie Alexander (Sif). Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) joins the cast as Malekith the Accursed, the evil leader of the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim.
Official synopsis:
“Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World” continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself. In the aftermath of Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s The Avengers,” 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.”
