New 'Thor' Trailer Released!


It's Hammer Time... Okay, that was bad...

Now this just keeps getting better and better. WE got our first look at the Thor trailer not too long ago, and we get another trailer, revealing more villains, more action, and more of Hemsworth's Thor. Check it out:


Now that's more like the arrogant Thor I want to see. Every new clip of this that comes out entices me a little bit more. We get a look at Colm Feore as the king of the frost giants, plus more of Natalie Portman and Kat Dennings, which is always good.

Splashpage has an interview with director Kenneth Branagh, who reveals some more info about the film:

"A brother who is unhappy is a dangerous relative to have," Branagh said of Thor's sibling, Loki, in an interview with EW.

The interview gets into some pretty detailed descriptions of the plot, so consider this your SPOILER ALERT before reading on.

"The story involves a clash with an ice planet and the frost giants who live therein. They — as might be suggested by the name — are enormous creatures of incredible power who have been robbed of their power and glory by Odin, Thor’s father," he continued. "What fuels a lot of this intense battle is revenge. This is an angry race, trying to get back at Thor and the Asgardians, the self-proclaimed guardians of the universe."

Branagh also throws some words out about his "incredible war machine" The Destroyer, the massive metal-banded construct seen in multiple trailers whose visor emits devastating disintegrator blasts.

"This series of metal bands form a giant, walking beast and open to reveal terrifying firepower," he explained.

Of course, as comics fans know, The Destroyer isn't inherently evil; it is an enchanted suit of armor forged by Odin, Thor's father, and it is subject to the whims of whomever controls it.

"In the right hands, this incredibly powerful device — awesome in its killing quality — is potentially a creature of extraordinary protective powers," Branagh said. "In the wrong hands, it is a nightmare."
