<i>Thor</i> Comic-Con Trailer Leaks  

The extended trailer for Marvel’s Thor that won over so many attendees at Comic-Con International has found its way online, and … wow. It’s so much better than I imagined.

The teaser clearly lays out the movie’s plot, with Thor banished to Earth (of course), leaving Loki to succeed Odin as ruler of Asgard. Better still, it offers a good look at the Destroyer in action, and plenty of footage of Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson.

Now if we can just figure out how the Infinity Gauntlet fits in.

NOTE: The trailer has been removed by the host site.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Directed by Kenneth Branagh, the epic adventure “Thor” spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.

Starring Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Natalie Portman, Jamie Alexander and Anthony Hopkins, Thor opens on May 6, 2011.

    Looks better than I thought. I'm still nervous about this movie. Thor is my favorite and I feel that they will wreck it somehow.

  • brucelovesdck

    Kajtech = troll.

  • brett1368

    Wow!

    Very impressed, it looks like a winner!

  • BrotherUnitNo_4

    Except they DID change Superman's costume.

    And Thor's had many variations since his Kirby classic.

    As to why Thor doesn't need to look like a bodybuilder, he's a god. His strength isn't just from his muscles. It's his godly essence. It's like how all Marvel Asgardians can lift at least 30 tons, even Loki and he's probably the scrawniest adult Asgardian around.

    How about after the credits: Fury/Stark-maybe Romanov turn up to help a man regaining his consciousness,after being frozen.
    And then saying: Welcome back Mr. Rogers, or should we say Captain America!
    These movies have a habit of doing that.

  • Patrick the Ostragoth

    What's up with the ethnic diversity? This is Asgard, home of the Norse Gods. There should only be Norse-looking people here.

    While Asgard is epic, and the backdrops and models look very nice, they seem a little too modern… a little too much like a “city of the futre.”

  • Philipe

    I liked it but I noticed 4 things that annoyed me:

    1) Thor is speaking in a very coloquial manner. I don't expect him to get all Shakespeare but he IS a prince and he IS regal. I was expecting something a little different.

    2) Not feeling the outfits. Thor's looks good but the rest…especially the Warrior's Three, seems too much like costumes.

    3) I still say that Idris Alba was wrong for this. Really wrong. And the asian guy too. Hogun to me was always more of an eskimo type of guy than asian.

    4) Loki is a character that, supposedly, has a lot of presence and I'm not feeling it from this guy. His Loki seems weak, which is the worse thing for this movie. Imagine if the Joker in both Batman movies didn't have screen presence.

  • marvelprince

    you realize this isn't a literal adaption of the comics right? its possible Odin actually dies, or at least appears dead.

  • Beow101

    True. In some ways, it's similar to the way Tim Sale depicts Superman, as a farm boy who is muscled, but not muscle bound as opposed to Batman, who needs muscle to do what he does. That said, Hemsworth's muscle is perfect for a live action Thor. Thor is a warrior and needs to be strong and fast. Hence, he'd have a lot of muscle, but be built like a football player, what's known as a “power” body type (made for fast outbursts of powerful action). If he were built like a body builder, any guy whose under 200 pounds could move around him really fast and break his knee caps. Trust me, I've seen it happen. Biggest dude you could imagine, like 260 pounds of solid muscle, dropped by a 5' 6″ guy who was maybe 165 soaking wet.

  • Leethario

    RE: Philipe.
    You seen Loki for maybe two minutes in a trailer where he hardly said two words. For christs sakes, at least wait until you've seen it to dis his performance.

  • Philipe

    Think with me for a sec: if the guy gave this hell of a performance, they would have given him more screen time on the trailer, am I correct? I rest my case.

  • OhNo!

    The problem is if Odin dies Thor has to take over as ruler of Asgard (after getting Loki out of the throne) which would mean that he couldn't be a part of the Avengers on earth as he'd be too busy ruling Asgard.

    But maybe they work around that somehow.

  • Zerlock

    I was really concerned about this movie when I heard the writers were
    replacing Magic with some sort of Advanced Technology in order to make the
    movie more palatable to movie goers (and to some extent, I'm still concerned about
    that). However, after seeing Asgard, I believe they will be able to make this movie Epic
    regardless of the Magic vs Tech issue..

  • urbaneturtle

    I don't see anything “dark” about this movie at all. It's not as playful as Iron Man, but dark is not an adjective I would use do describe it. Dramatic, maybe?

  • urbaneturtle

    This looks great. Even more excited about this. Hard to believe, considering this is the next comic movie I was already looking most forward to.

  • Beow101

    Not necessarily. In a lot of trailers, they don't want to spoil the villain, so they keep them in the shadows or do less with them until the big screen (or the final theatrical trailer).

  • Opium340

    What happened to one, two and three?

  • DannyRand

    Freakin' hilarious. That sounds like it exactly. Good post!

  • DannyRand

    Agree with you on these points (basically), but I do think “Thor” will be entertaining, in the least. Anthony Hopkins has real presence, and Ray Stevenson looks great as Volstagg, IMO. Natalie Portman is good in EVERYTHING she does, the Destroyer is not only a nice surprise but he looks ferocious, and I like the seemingly increased role of Clark Gregg (as Agent Coulson), a solid actor.

    The tie-ins with other Marvel movies is really nice for those of us who have been longtime fans and waiting for movies like this for what seems like an eternity. Here's hoping this is more “Iron Man” than “Ghost Rider,” but either way it should be fun.

  • Vlaad

    Lo and behold Heimdall, “the white god” – “the whistest of the Aesir”! LOL

  • Volmansmg

    I'm feeling better about this movie now. Baldur and Sif look dead on. Liking Captain Kirk's dad more and more as Thor

  • Max

    Neither Scarecrow nor Ras Al Ghul were in the Batman Begins trailer

  • Max

    What's dark about it? Seems like huge amounts of fun for me – Anthony Hopkins chewing scenery

  • Kajtech

    Trust me when I say this movie is going to be very lack lustered and watered down like the X-Men movies nothing much like the comic version but you fools will eat this crap up and call it great I will wait for bootleg this trash can join DareDevil, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, Ang Lees Hulk, all X-Men, Punisher, Elektra as watered down unfaithful trash. Some people respond you dont know this may be a good movie yeah right I do recall everyone saying all these other movies are gonna be so great then when they come out they all end up as trash trust me Thor will disappoint the masses that really are familiar with the character as once again a superhero movie is moved so far from it's source material this Thor and lame trailer are nothing like the character in the comics thanks for the screw up Marvel you strike again.

  • Madcattv2

    Minor detail…but wouldn't Thor say “Oh no, this is Migard, isn't it” instead of “this is Earth”?

  • Scavenger

    “(why did he say Earth instead of Midgard?)”

    Because having an Editor comment box in the bottom of the screen explaining Midgard is Earth would just look silly.

  • Scavenger

    In the comics, whenever they say “Midgard”, you'd have an editor box in the corner explaining Midgard = Earth.

    Unless the Stan Lee cameo is him doing pop up editor's boxes, that'd be silly.

    (I agree though, the bit caught me too…but I'm not overly concerned)

  • Sdff

    Well the trailer is over at Superhero Movies News if u wanna watch it.

    Direct Link :: http://www.freewebs.com/superheromovies/thornew…

  • lead_sharp

    They changed it for Returns and that was a big gripe across the fandom. I could accept the costume if it actually looked good and well made, but it doesn't. On the trailer it just looks like foam rubber and biker pants.

  • lead_sharp

    How about having one of the two people who find him going

    'What?'

    'Earth, this is Earth!'

    Simple and in character.

  • lead_sharp

    I am trying to balance my love of Thor with as much objectivity as I can but as the trailer doesn't exactly enthuse me it's hard to stay objective.

  • lead_sharp

    I missed Baldur…bugger.

  • lead_sharp

    Yeah but…(I know I know it's a niggle but…) It's a film, not a single issue picked up that may be new to the reader. You only need to sneak in an explanation once and ta daaa people aren't (necessarily) thick they'd get it.

  • PD

    Shouldn't Baldur be next in line though?

  • Thorsman

    Baldur is Frigg's son, not Odin's.

  • PD

    I thought Frigg was a woman and Baldur was Odin and her son…idk, lol

  • Eddie

    I'm not going to see this movie until Marvel releases the comic con trailer to EVERYBODY. This is ridiculous.
