So far the Thor camp over at Marvel has offered up a first look at Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman in what looks to be an Asgardian Christmas card and a standard character poster where Thor is holding his iconic hammer but today we get to dig into the real goodies, as the first trailer for Thor: The Dark World has arrived.

Following the aftermath of The Avengers, Thor: The Dark World returns superhero Thor to Asgard where he must battle a powerful race of dark elves led by the malicious Malekith the Accursed to save his own planet, Earth and the rest of the nine realms.

This one is sure to debut on the big screen in front of Iron Man 3 which releases next weekend but if you can’t wait until then, dig in:
