Marvel is preparing to dominate the box office for the next several years, but before we close out 2013, they’re unleashing THOR: THE DARK WORLD… which is looking really good. Today the new official trailer is out, and it’s certainly pushing the darker angle of the story. Check it out below and tell us your thoughts. We’ve got lots of interviews coming from San Diego Comic-Con, but sadly we didn’t get to talk to any of the THOR cast and crew. I can tell you the footage shown at SDCC went over very, very well. THOR: THE DARK WORLD is directed by Alan Taylor and stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, Idris Elba, Christopher Eccleston, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Zachary Levi, Tadanobu Asano, Jaimie Alexander, Rene Russo and Anthony Hopkins.
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.
