thor-the-dark-world-poster11
Over the last few weeks a slew of Thor: The Dark World posters have emerged, showing off various characters. Now we’ve got two more, featuring Zachary Levi’s Fandral and Ray Stevenson’s Folstagg. They’re certainly looking pretty cool.

Here’s the film’s synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “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 Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s 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.

‘Starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, Idris Elba, Christopher Eccleston, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Zachary Levi, Tadanobu Asano, and Jaimie Alexander with Rene Russo and Anthony Hopkins as Odin, Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World” is directed by Alan Taylor, produced by Kevin Feige, from a story by Don Payne (credit not final) and screenplay by Christopher Yost and Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely (credit not final) and is based on Marvel’s classic Super Hero Thor, who first appeared in the comic book “Journey into Mystery “ #83 in August, 1962.’

The film’s out in the UK on October 30th and the US a week later.

Here’s the synopsis: Marvel’s “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 Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s 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.

Pretty much all the promotion for Thor: The Dark World has concentrated on the guys, from Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston to Anthony Hopkins and Christopher Eccleston. Now the ladies are getting a chance to shine, with new character posters featuring Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster and Jaimie Alexander’s Sif.

Hopefully Portman’s going to get something worthwhile to do in the film, as all the promos, including this one, has presented her as a bit of a damsel in distress. Take a look at the new posters above and below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “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 Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s 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.

Tom Hiddleston’s Loki & Anthony Hopkin’s Odin Get Cool New Thor: The Dark World Posters

By Leave a Comment

thor-the-dark-world-poster5
It’s less than two months until Thor: The Dark World is launched on the world and we can return to Asgard for Marvel’s latest adventure. We’ve been sent two new posters, featuring Tom Hiddleston’s Loki and Anthony Hopkins’ Odin, and we have to say, they’re pretty cool.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “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 Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s 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.

Chris Hemsworth Is A Top With A Big Hammer In An Accidentally Gay Russian Thor: The Dark World Banner

By Leave a Comment

thor-dark-world-russian-banner
And the winner of the gayest Marvel poster ever goes to…

Russia probably ought to sue the comic company under its hideous new laws banning the promotion of ‘non-traditional relationships’. After all, what else could a picture of a hunky man who’s about to give a good pounding with his big hammer be all about, especially when over in Russia the movie is called Top 2?

Now I really need to order a copy of the Russian version of the first movie, as who wouldn’t want to see Chris Hemsworth as a Top? And does that make Tom Hiddleston’s Loki a Bottom? It’s a pretty cool pic however unintentionally gay it might be. (And yes, we do know it’s actually Cyrillic and pronounced ‘Tor’, and for the naysayers who think it’s a joke poster, this is absolutely, 100% real).

Here’s The Dark World’s synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “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 Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s 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.

New Thor: The Dark World Posters Unmask Malekith And Allow Chris Hemsworth To Pose

By Leave a Comment

thor-the-dark-world-poster3
Thor: The Dark World hits cinemas in November, and to remind of that fact, Disney has released two new poster showing off the good guys and the baddies, with Chris Hemworth’s Thor striking a heroic pose (while Natalie Portman looks worryingly like a blow-up doll), and another featuring Christopher Eccleston’s evil Malekith unmasking.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “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 Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s 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.

New Thor: The Dark World Pics Show Off Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston & More

By Leave a Comment

thor-2-empire-pic9
Empire has gone slightly Thor: The Dark World crazy, with four different covers for the film with their new issue. They’ve also a slew on new pics from the film, showing off the world of Asgard, along with the likes of Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Natalie Portman, Stellan Skarsgard, Idris Elba, Jaimie Alexander and loads more.

It’s also our best look yet at Christopher Eccleston under a load of make-up as the evil Malekit, as well as his minions.

And don’t expect everyone to survive this film, as director Alan Taylor has revealed,”You know, we are killing Asgardians in this movie. It turns out immortality isn’t all that it was cracked up to be.”
Hopefully that isn’t the reason Loki isn’t in The Avengers: Age Of Ultron, as there will be a lot of angry fans if it is.

Producer Craig Kyle also spoke about how the events of Thor lead into Thor: The Dark World. “When the Bifrost was broken at the end of the first film, Odin had to conjure a lot of dark energy and go through a lot of personal sacrifice to try and get his son back to Earth,” he says. “And it was a one-shot deal. If Thor didn’t succeed, without the Tesseract he couldn’t have got back again. And in our film, finally the Bifrost has been rebuilt, but during that time, when the cops were largely cut off from the rest of the universe, you had miscreants that came in from outside the Nine Realms, pillaging and destroying and causing havoc. So that’s what our guys have been doing now – trying to put all these fires out across the Nine Realms.”

Thor: The Dark World is out November 8th, 2013.

New Thor: The Dark World Trailer – Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston are back in Asgard

By Leave a Comment


In the first Thor, the alien god spent most of his time on Earth, but for the sequel, The Dark World, we’ve been promised plenty more time in Asgard, along with the other realms of the Thor universe. Now a new trailer gives us out best look yet at the film, which can’t resist but show us there will be some moments on Earth in the film – after all, Natalie Portman has to reunite with Thor somehow – even if it’s still very fantasy sci-fi overall.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “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 Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s 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.’

Chris Hemsworth Strikes A Heroic Post In An Ace New Thor: The Dark World Poster

By Leave a Comment

thor-the-dark-world-poster2
I’m not sure whether Natalie Portman will be that impressed by her rather subservient Princess Leia pose on this new poster for Thor: The Dark World, but it’s still a rather cool image. It brings together Portman, Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hiddleston and more, letting us know that this film will be exploring Asgard far more than Earth.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “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 Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s 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.’

The film’s due out October 30th,  2013.

Comic-Con Posters: Godzilla, I Frankenstein, Thor: The Dark World & Carrie

By Leave a Comment

Godzilla-comic-con-mondo-poster
With Comic-Con kicking off in just a couple of days, the movie studios are already trying to build the hype for their upcoming movies, which includes releasing a slew of posters for those film that will be filling the halls this weekend in San Diego. Now we have a rather cool trio of posters for the Aaron Eckhart movie I,  Frankenstein, a banner for the remake of Carrie, a Thor: The Dark World concept art image, and as you can see above, a great new mondo poster for Godzilla.

The giant lizard film is expected to be one of the biggest movies at Comic-Con this weekend, with Warner promising a massive presentation and plenty of other things going on in relation to the film.

The movie, starring Bryan Cranston, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Ken Watanabe, David Strathairn, Sally Hawkins and Juliette Binoche, is said to be closer to the tone of the Japanese originals than Roland Emmerich’s 1990s movie. The Gareth Edwards directed film hits cinemas May 16th 2014.

I, Frankenstein is based on Kevin Grevioux’s graphic novel of the same name about Adam Frankenstein (Aaron Eckhart), the creation of Dr. Frankenstein, who is still alive centuries after his ‘birth’. Adam is hunted down by a clan of demons who want to learn Adam’s secret in order to reanimate deceased demons and start a new army. Miranda Otto, Jai Courtney, Bill Nighy and Aden Young also star. It’s due in cinemas next January.

Based on Stephen King’s debut novel, the remake of Carrie sees Chloe Moretz take over the title role of the girl on the edge of adolescence, whose problem with bullies and a terrifying mother become dangerous when she develops telekinetic powers. It’s due out in October.

Thor: The Dark World is, of course, the follow-up to Marvel’s Thor and The Avengers, with Chris Hemsworth back as the Norse god. This time he must prevent an ancient race, led by the vengeful Malekith, from plunging the universe back into darkness. It’s due in cinemas in November.
