The first poster for the Thor sequel, titled Thor: The Dark World is now out. As you might expect, it deatures a man with long hair and a hammer, some lightning and snow. A trailer for the film is expected within about a week.
Set one year after Avengers, the Thor-quel will see Asgard battered by war after invasion by the rag-tag Marauders – only for a worse threat to turn up in the form of Malekith (Christopher Ecclestone) and his Dark Elves, who are out for vengeance against the whole realm of Asgard because of an ancient grudge.
Says producer Craig Kyle, “Like in Indiana Jones, while there’s high stakes and high threat and high danger, there’s always fun. It’s a very complicated blend. Thor is, until Guardians Of The Galaxy hits, by far our most wild, fringe Marvel piece. But that’s why it’s the Marvel Universe and not Marvel Earth!”
Thor: The Dark World appears in theaters on October 30.
