First trailer for "Thor: The Dark World"

It's been a long time coming for this fan of the original film but the waiting is over at last with the release of the first trailer for "Thor: The Dark World". Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, Stellan Skarsgard and just about everyone else (including one prince of the realm who we last saw being led away in intergalactic handcuffs at the end of "The Avengers") returns for a second go-round, this time with Alan Taylor at the helm.

Here's the skinny:

Marvels "Thor: The Dark World" continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself. In the aftermath of Marvels "Thor" and "Marvels The Avengers," Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos...but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all.


Is it November 8th yet?
