So Marvel's International Vice President, Nigel Cook, showed off the first raw footage of Marvel's Thor: The Dark World at a cinema convention in Italy recently! For those of you who are excited about the movie and want to read the footage details you're in luck!
These roughly-translated descriptions come from @Thor2Fans and @vingadoresdepre via CBM. And yes they do contain some SPOILERS so be warned. The only things we've seen from this movie so far is from a ton of set photos and videos, all of which look awesome! I wish Marvel would release something kind of badass official image soon!
So here are the footage details from Alan Taylor's highly anticipated film!
In the preview, a voice-over is heard with the oath of the God of Thunder as the new supreme ruler. We see a clash between Thor and the enemy army, in a world that is neither Asgard let alone the Earth. We see Chris Hemsworth wielding his hammer and Tom Hiddleston as Loki first wounded without a helmet, with long, loose hair and then imprisoned; his anger increasingly desperate and irrational. Then there's a scene later in which he is free again, but still furious.
Against the backdrop of a forest, in the middle of a clearing, among the dust, we in fact face off anthropomorphic creatures, but also a big "gorilla" krosan tusker: a rather alien fauna varies so, although not extreme in size (there are also some envoys/ambassadors of a people mysterious, with oval face and black eyes, elongated and sunken)
The rest of the images show glimpses of Asgard, with Anthony Hopkins as Odin and Natalie Portman in clothes that seem more like a princess; an Asgardian princess. In between, there are images of an epic battle on horseback, who seems to have left an epic cloak-and-dagger. The threat to the Asgardians is certainly a new alien race pale (now identified as the dark elves).
A black spaceship shaped irregularly looks like a serious threat to Asgard. More sequences show Natalie Portman then alongside Thor lying on the ground, probably overwhelmed in a clash.
Damn, I can't wait to see this footage for myself one day! I'm sure there will be plenty of awesomeness to see at Comic-Con. After the clips were shown Cook said that the movie begins and ends with Earth, and as you might expect the set pieces for this film are bigger than any Marvel movie that's been made so far. The movie hits theaters on November 8th, 2013.
