With the debut trailer arriving tomorrow, Marvel Studio is trying to churn up interest in Thor: The Dark World with this truly lackluster photo. Stars Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman seem to be having a jolly old time chilling in cloaks with their billowy locks tossed about but this isn’t exactly the epic god-of-thunder antics that will get fanboys and superhero fans in seats. Since the Grecian architecture and Padiwan robes here clearly don’t resemble anything you’d see on modern day Planet Earth, I guess the picture is slightly revealing in that Portman’s character, plain Jane, must have teleported to Thor’s home planet (realm?) of Asgard.
The first poster for Thor: The Dark World showed off Thor’s mighty-sized arm amid a storm of CGI and was equally lacking in intrigue. I’m sure that the trailer tomorrow will be sure to seize some attention though. Until then, I guess you can look at this lame picture.
Thor 2 is directed by Game of Thrones helmer Alan Taylor and stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, Idris Elba, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Zachary Levi, Tadanobu Asano, Jaimie Alexander, Rene Russo, and Anthony Hopkins and opens in theaters on November 8, 2013.
