Thor: The Dark World: Extended Trailer goes online

Striking its way into theaters by late next month internationally and on early November in the US, Marvel Studios has released a brand new "Extended Trailer" that gives fans a more in depth look at the upcoming Thor sequel for Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Thor: The Dark World!

Directed by Alan Taylor of Game of Thrones fame and once again seeing Chris Hemsworth back as the God of Thunder, this new trailer packs more dialogue and just a teenie bit of new scenes into the mix. Of course, in addition to Thor's return and facing a new evil force threatening reality as we know it, we see the return of Asgard and his reunion with Jane Foster... As well as his mischievous and evil step-brother, Loki.

Thor: The Dark World: Theatrical Trailer debuts online

As promised last week and finally unleashed by Marvel itself, here is the brand new theatrical trailer to Marvel Studios' 2nd film in their "Phase Two" initiative of the Marvel Cinematic Universe - "Thor: The Dark World"!

Once again seeing Chris Hemsworth back as the titular character, the God of Thunder's latest adventure sees him returning to earth a year after the events of The Avengers. Reuniting with his mortal flame Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), Thor eventually has to contend with a new threat that emerges from the darkness, and will spell doomsday for all the nine realms if he and the Asgardians don't act fast. The film also sees the return of Tom Hiddleston as the villainous Loki, and Anthony Hopkins as the AllFather himself, Odin.

Once again starring Chris Hemsworth as Thor, the Asgardian Thunder God's newest adventure takes place around a year after the events of 2012's The Avengers, and sees the hero reuniting with his mortal love interest, Jane Foster (played by Natalie Portman). However, evil forces from the primeval age are at work and threaten to everything in the nine realms, with Malekith and the Dark Elves at the center of it. With the entire universe at stake and once again seeing appearances by Odin Allfather (Anthony Hopkins) and Thor's evil adopted brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston), the Norse Warrior of legend must prepare to do battle and do whatever it takes to save everything he holds dear.

Returning to the role of the heroic God of Thunder based on the Norse Deity of the same name, Chris Hemsworth once again stars as Thor Odinson, with the new film picking up a year after the events of the first film and The Avengers.

Game of Thrones director may land "Thor 2", plus some RPG fun by College Humor.

If you enjoyed Game of Thrones like I did when it was running its first season on HBO, then do expect wonderful things to happen next year when the Second Season premieres on April. Before that, a couple of updates took to my eye concerning the subject and its creatives, and these bits of news perked my interest enough that they deserved some reposting.


As reported on Slash Film, it appears Marvel Studios is in talks with Game of Thrones TV series helmer Brian Kirk to direct "Thor 2". After Kenneth Branagh confirmed that he wouldn't be returning for the sequel, this sounds like awesome news, and given Kirk's work on GoT, I think Marvel may have something wonderful at hand if they land a deal with this guy. More info on the story can be found at the source post at Slash Film.

This is what happens when you turn a brilliant medieval fantasy series by George R.R. Martin into a TV Series... THEN an RPG like College Humor did. Priceless.XD
