Thor

Marvel's latest 'Thor 2' clip promises that, despite the new territories director Alan Taylor will take us to and the new villains wreaking havoc in the universe, Thor is still the same old Thor, who is exploding with self-confidence and prefers swooping in to save the day.

A new 'Thor 2' clip has hit the airwaves, this time featuring the arrival of the villain from 'The Dark World,' Christopher Eccleston's Malekith the Accursed. As the leader of the Dark Elves, he awoke from his slumber and is ready to lay waste to the cosmos.

Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) have had a tumultuous relationship. After attempting to destroy his brother and claim the throne of Asgard in 'Thor,' the trickster god unleashed an alien army on New York City in 'The Avengers' and was taken back home in chains for it. But in 'Thor 2,' our title hero will have to put all this aside to defeat a dark new threat.

Who could forget Sif and the Warriors Three from 'Thor'? Not Marvel, which is why this quartet will be back for 'Thor 2,' and you can get a closer look at two of these Asgardians, Volstagg and Fandral, in the new posters for the sequel.

Our latest look at 'Thor 2,' coming from an extended TV spot, showcases bits of new footage while finally explaining why its villain of 'The Dark World' choosing this time to attack the universe. So sit back and relax, it's prophecy story time!

Failure is not an option for Thor and his brother Loki in the latest international TV spot for 'Thor 2.' As the army of Dark Elves descends upon Asgard and London, these two must team up and prevent the universe from falling into chaos, but not before the god of thunder dishes out some hammer of justice.

Marvel recognizes Tom Hiddleston's Loki as a clear fan favorite of its superhero universe, with more and more of his followers petitioning (literally) for him to get his own solo movie. While the studio isn't done yet with Thor's trickster brother, we're left to wonder what future movies might have in store for him...

Apparently the best things come in pairs. The 'Thor 2' posters have been releasing in sets of two -- Loki and Odin, Jane and Sif, and now the Asgardian protector Heimdall and the Malekith-led army of Dark Elves get their share of the action.

Tuesday night marked the highly anticipated premiere of the Marvel TV series 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' (read our review HERE), and for those not watching at home, you missed a look at the brand-new 'Thor 2' trailer. Fortunately, you can see it and its bits of new footage right here.
