Following swiftly on from this mornings new television spot giving us a peek at some new footage from Marvel’s next Phase II entry, we’ve new international posters from Chris Hemsworth’s hammer-swinging return as the Asgardian demigod in THOR: THE DARK WORLD. GAME OF THRONES’ frequent director Alan Taylor makes his big-screen debut with the epic sequel pitting our favourite goldilocked superhero against The Dark Elves and their devious leader, Malekith The Accursed.
Marvel’s 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 Marvel’s Thor and Marvel’s 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.
Take a look at the foreboding arrival of darkness from the group of evildoers and Idris Elba’s gatekeeper Heimdall.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
