The first trailer for Thor: The Dark World has been revealed! The Thunder God (Chris Hemsworth) and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) reunited. More Lady Sif. Odin’s ominous warnings. A first look at Christopher Eccleston as Malekith! Game of Thrones director Alan Taylor has given the golden Asgardian fantasy Continue reading THOR The Dark World Trailer!
New interviews with the man who wields the hammer and the man who wields the power in the Marvel cinematic universe plus new images from Thor: The Dark World.
In the sequel the Thunder God (Chris Hemsworth) reconnects with Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) and will battle the Dark Elves led by Malekith (Christopher Eccleston.) USA Today scored these two new pictures from the film plus an update from Marvel Studios Kevin Feige and Hemsworth.
Thor and Jane seem happy in this first photo. The scientist was not part of The Avengers but it seems the Odinson found a way to reunite with his great love from Midgard but expect romantic rumblings:
“Thor still has lot of explaining to do, and a lot of making up,” Hemsworth said. “Even demigods end up in the doghouse, mate. So none of us is safe.”
“So while Thor was a fish out of water on Earth in the first two films, this time Jane is very much a fish out of water in Asgard,” Feige said.
“We were worried about coming across as hokey or whatever,” Hemsworth said. “If there is anyone who can pull off a fantastical world like Asgard with a great amount of integrity, it is Alan Taylor, as we’ve seen in Game of Thrones.”
“It’s superhero action, but it’s the familiar territory of a love triangle where the parents think your girlfriend is wrong for you,” Feige said. “That’s how the best of these movies work.”

Loki (Tom Hiddleston) Lady Sif and the Warriors Three (with Zachary Levi taking over for one of them) are all back for the sequel that will rock the Nine Realms this November!

Chris Hemsworth as the Odinson returns to Asgard in Thor: The Dark World. Marvel shared the first picture from the set of Hemsworth in costume with director Alan Taylor (Game of Thrones.) The sequel introduces the Malekith (played by former Doctor Who Christopher Eccleston) and the Dark Elves to the movie mythology. Here’s the 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.
Adewale Akinnouoye-Agbaje is joining the Thor sequel according to Variety. The actor will play two villain roles in Thor: The Dark World: Algrim the Strong and Kurse.
Algrim is one of the most powerful Dark Elves ordered by King Malekith (who will be played by Doctor Who veteran Christopher Eccleston) to kill Thor. Through a series of twists and turns Algrim becomes Kurse. Magic, magma and Algrim’s intense hatred of the Odinson transform the Elf.
You may have seen the actor in The Bourne Identity and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra but LOST devotees like myself loved him as Mr. Eko.
Kat Dennings (Two Broke Girls) will reprise her role as the science intern Darcy and will have an expanded role according to Deadline.
Christopher Eccleston is in final talks to play the villain in Thor: The Dark World for Marvel according to The Hollywood Reporter Heat Vision. Eccleston played the famous Time Lord when Doctor Who was relaunched in 2005 but for only one season. Alan Taylor (Game of Thrones) is directing the sequel with Chris Hemsworth back at Thor. The villain is said to Malekith, the king of the Dark Elves.
Since leaving the Tardis, Eccleston played Destro in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and guest starred on Heroes.
Madds Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) was in consideration but is out due to his commitment to play the Hannibal Lecter in a new NBC series based on the infamous connoisseur.
The Thunder God’s next film is now called Thor: The Dark World. Madds Mikkelsen (Casino Royale, Clash of the Titans) dropped out due to his commitment to play Hannibal Lecter in Hannibal. A new report reveals the villain he would have played. That means it’s time for….

HERE IT COMES
An interview on I Review Too with stuntman James Grogan reveals the enemies facing Thor and his fellow Asgardians..
Grogan says “I had a load of stunt guys in and the director came in and he said ‘Look, we want you all to be elves,’ and I was like ‘What the hell is an elf anyway?’ and he said ‘I want you all to walk around like these supernatural animals,’ honestly it was the most ridiculous thing ever but you just have to not be self aware and get on with it.”
Back to comic book lore – those elves could be the Dark Elves of Svartlalfheim. Malekith the Accursed is the leader. This was my guess when it was first announced that Mikkelsen was cast. I’m still hoping Amora the Enchantress will bewitch Thor in the sequel!
