<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.

    well filmed. really confusing, though! i get the Thor is cast down to Earth thing, but the whole Loki rises to power wasn't really making any sense in the context of everything else.

    i hope the Infinity Gauntlet is just a nod to fans in this and it gets saved for something featuring Thanos (like The Avengers, maybe).

  • Greygor

    Thor is banished and so no longer in line for the throne of Asgard, it looks like Odin dies which leaves Thor's half brother Loki as next in line.

    Not too confusing

    I think I can look forward to this now.

  • Gaston Latorre

    More relaxed now…

  • gnarlybole

    I was really hoping that Asgard would be more norse and more godly. Instead it looks like an off-the-peg alien homeworld from Babylon 5 or DS9. And didn't you just know that the movie would have to be 'dark'. After all, after Nolan every super-hero movie has to be dark, right?

  • Krysmo

    not too shabby! gotta admit as a DC guy, Marvel's doing some interesting stuff with their films, with good talent. Still haven't seen Iron Man 2 and don't feel like I missed it though. one's enough for me.

  • Jason Fabok

    Kinda reminds me of a modern remake of Masters of the Universe…Mixing the fantasy realm with earth, and dudes with swords running through city streets.

  • GodIsABuddhist

    With the Infinity Gauntlet on display at SDCC we can assume it will make an appearance. I agree with nickmarino in it being an awesome Avengers plot. It would make a lot of sense too considering that the original Avengers united under a threat posed by Loki. And we know that Loki has had the gauntlet at times.

    I heard to tie in Captain America with Thor the rumor is to have the Red Skull trying to get the Cosmic Cube which has been ret-conned of sorts to be Asgardian in origin.

    Avengers 2 – The Banishment of the Hulk? anyone?

  • Timmy

    WOW!

  • akachris

    Great trailer. Lots of teases and quick moments.

    I'm guessing they're going with the Chariot of the Gods/Stargate SG-1 route with the old mythological gods being based upon extraterrestrials/aliens.

    Liked it, but ridiculously heavy on spoiling the plot (as are most trailers). Thor does something dumb (probably beats up some ice-giants) and is a dick. Get's banished (probably with some help from Loki). Loki next in line which wouldn't be so bad but wu-oh, ODIN'S DEAD (again probably with some help from Loki). Meanwhile, Thor meets some people on earth including a hot girl, thinks “I'll just get my hammer back and I'll be fine” can't pick up his hammer as he's not worthy. He has a cry, rethink, agent coulson has a chat with him. The Destroyer turns up (probably Loki), he acts all brave protecting his hot girl and her friends, he's declared worthy, MOJLINAR to the Destroyer's face! Back to Asgard, deposes brother, but then probably chooses to stay on earth and puts the Asgardian lady in charge. Credits role. Then Stark / Fury / Romanov turns up to say “hey, wanna be an Avenger?”.

  • Redvector

    I was a little concerned about this until the trailer. And looks like agent Coulson will have a larger role in this.

    I'm just wondering how the easter egg/cameo after the end credits ties Captain America and Thor together.

  • Sijo

    Thor was doing that that stuff LONG before He-Man was even conceived. :)

  • Sijo

    I admit it: it looks good, and the Destroyer moment had me going “Oh CRAP!” So right now I'm buzzed. The only thing I don't care much for was Thor's voice, but then again we heard very little of his dialog., maybe the rest sounds better.

  • Sijo

    Marvel's Asgard has looked golden from the start. That's the least of the liberties they took with the myths.As for being dark, Thor has had epics like this before. I'll bet it'll all get awesome once Thor recovers his powers.

  • Slyfer

    People ODIN isn't dead, he is in the ODINSLEEP , don't you guys read Thor ??? lol

  • Slyfer

    Dude , Odin is in the Odin sleep, stop saying he has died. When in the Odin sleep whosoever is next in line for the Throne takes over, usually it would be Thor, so Loki now has it.

  • Galitigator

    Good synopsis, although you missed “Loki has Infinity Glove, siphons Odin's power.”

  • the one

    I agree this looks more like a He-man movie, especially the whole magic and science stuff lol

  • Largo161

    Well…one doesn't want to get too excited, because after all, Hollywood has perfected the art of making interesting trailers from mediocre movies, but nevertheless…this looks GOOD!

  • the one

    Yeah that may be true except his story was not modern and it was not science version magic.

  • Sandblast

    Nice? Don't understand why people are confused about the plot line?
    I mean, it is a “movie trailer” — not the “movie”

  • the one

    Nope, Im a Dc fan lol

  • http://profiles.yahoo.com/u/KJA6I2K4NEDZVYKUVYV5QVKBGE Rufus Firefly13

    Yup, IIRC the Odin Sleep only last a month though.

  • lead_sharp

    Thor fan here.

    Kinda generic trailer Hemsworth looks ok (why did he say Earth instead of Midgard?) The costume looks bloody awful and do we need plucky little sister? OH and Sif (pic 7) is Heimdall's (pic 12) sister, that's some interesting parentage going on there.

    Agree with Mark, the plot looks like a no brainer. Also agree with gnarlybole, couldn't figure out what annoyed me until you said that.

    I also have a problem with Thor seeming to beat a guy into the mud, I know he doesn't have his powers there but, dude you're a trained warrior built like a brick shit house who can still clearly throw helpless medical staff across a room, why the pounding?

    I hated the X-Men trailer and was really pleasantly surprised by the movie, hope the same thing happens here.

    Sweet, can wait to see it on the big screen

  • Mallettes

    Oh boy!
    They managed to fit a black guy in there…
    Hollywood is getting ridiculous with this.
    A black Norse god!?
    Before everyone jump at me as a racist, I am not.
    I just find stupid to insert a black guy as a Norse god (Heimdall?) just for the sake of having a black guy in the movie.
    They could have made one of the US Agents, or even Dr. Jane Foster as a black girl.
    But a Norse God??? Come on!

  • Eric Salvo

    Simply awesome!

  • Excaliburfoundation

    Wow, that looks good, very Iron Man quality.

  • Rishijoesanu

    Looked sort of gay….. not their fault, Thor is a tough on to be made into a movie.

  • Mark

    Completely not racist, and completely valid. If they're Nordic they should be white and majority of them blue eyed. I think that's valid. Likewise, if they make a Hercules film and some of the pantheon are pale white guys who've never seen the sun, they're doing it wrong.

  • BrotherUnitNo_4

    Not racist, but they're gods. Who's to say that they don't chose the form they want? Maybe Heimdall always felt like a black guy in a white guys body. ;)

  • BrotherUnitNo_4

    They're just following the Jack Kirby school of design.

  • BrotherUnitNo_4

    His story's been modern ever since he was joined with Donald Blake in the comics. Thor in today's world is nothing new.

  • BrotherUnitNo_4

    Again look at the comics this is based off of, not the old Norse tales.

  • Solowooke

    It's not like they were created (at least not in most versions) by the Norse in the image of themselves, they are god/aliens, they could be any color at all. Just because most people who believe in a religion are from a specific racial makeup, that means that therefore their gods must be of that same race? Doesn't make sense to me.

  • Beow101

    Actually, history shows that Africans and Vikings (Scandinavian types) had much more interaction than we believe. West Africans built some of the first long range ships back in the old days (Columbus used African sea maps to reach Florida on his second trip over the pond) and traded with Vikings, who also made their way down to Africa from time to time. There is even an Egyptian account that bears a striking similarity to Beowulf. So, in theory, it's possible for there to be a black Norse god.

    Also, did you catch the Asian dude looking all badass in there? This movie looks really good so far.

  • xaos

    Loki did have a nasty habit of doing things like banishing Odin to places with “of No Return” in their name whenever Daddy O laid down for a nap

  • Gcrump

    Norse Gods are not real ass, hence they can be any color they want.

  • Lando

    nothing wrong with that at all

  • 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.

  • Ben

    Since you've apparently seen the movie and are also a complete expert on entertainment and what makes film accessible and enjoyable for everyone ever, please lend me your copy of Thor because I'd really like to see this movie before May. Thanks!

  • Kajtech

    Love your snide comments do I know you? then why in the hell are you sticking your dopey nose in my comments? piss off loser!

  • http://twitter.com/drunkjack00 Jack Derunk

    I swear, the bitchier replies to this make me want to reach through the internet and choke some people. STUPID PEOPLE!

    Anyway, looks pretty good, wish the video was cleaner, but anyone bitching is a fool. This looks as good as the Iron Man trailer did.

  • ingenuus

    or a kirby like asgard…

  • Kajtech

    Now what will you do when you get chocked back in return? eye for an eye.

  • Rootbeer500

    nice trailer but i agree with lead_sharp. im only 14 and haven read all the old comic books so cant be a big critic with these movies as much as some people but i am a big fan and have some room to talk. hemsworth needs more muscle he would be ok if he was playing a football player but come on he's supposed to play a god make him look like one.and come on that cosume was pretty weak (at least take off the sleeves) i wish these movies would stay with the original costumes, imean you wouldnt change supermans costume would you. the destroyer looks awsome and i have no comment on the sif heimdal thing. i love the hammer though and i think its still gonna be a good movie

  • Miken3717

    seriously. the trailor for Ghost Rider looked good too. Look how that turned out.

  • Spawnomite

    Thor is so hot.
    I loved buying the JLA comics that he was in.
    Easily my favorite.
