After the reveal of the first poster, Walt Disney and Marvel Studios releases the very first trailer for Thor: The Dark World. Watch the video after the jump.

Marvels "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 Marvels "Thor" and "Marvels 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.

I'm glad that Jane Foster and Loki are back (played by Natalie Portman and Tom Hiddleston respectively).  I'm definitely intrigued with that scene where Jane is being hostaged by Malekith (Christopher Eccleston).  And Loki is looking good.  Not really the look I'm expecting from a prisoner. 

Thor: The Dark World is indeed a different animal from its predecessor. Definitely darker and has this medieval feel on it. The cosmic vibe of the first movie seems to be toned down making it more grounded to meddle age sensibilities. Think of Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings. Not really sure if that is a good idea. I guess only time can tell.


Opening in local cinemas on November 8, 2013 October 30, 2013, Thor: The Dark World is from Marvel Studios, distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International through Columbia Pictures.
