This first poster for Thor 2 may be simple and boring and a result of lazy Photoshopping but hey, it’s something. He holds a hammer, a lightning does a strike and his golden, godly locks are a-blowin’.
Two years ago, I was down on the whole Avengers prospect but I will admit that I was won over by the one-two-punch of Thor, Captain America and The Avengers. Light fare though they may be, they were perfectly entertaining, albeit formulaic, and were all the razzle-dazzle spectacle to keep my inner-nerd at bay.
But now that Phase One of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (a mouthful, I know) is complete, we begin the descent into the second act of the journey. After the massive influence of The Empire Strikes Back, act two’s generally take on a darker tone and attempt to dig into the characters more. After Joss Whedon’s promise that the second Avengers movie will be “more personal” and will include more “awful” things taking place, we can assume that Phase Two will adopt a darker tone in general.
Thor 2 is directed by Game of Thrones helmer Alan Taylor andstars 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.
