Briefly: With just a few days to go until the next issue of Empire hits newsstands, 16 new stills from the Thor: The Dark World have debuted on the magazine’s official website.
Thor: The Dark World producer Craig Kyle explains the film further, stating “When the Bifrost was broken at the end of the first film, Odin had to conjure a lot of dark energy and go through a lot of personal sacrifice to try and get his son back to Earth. And it was a one-shot deal. If Thor didn’t succeed, without the Tesseract he couldn’t have got back again. And in our film, finally the Bifrost has been rebuilt, but during that time, when the cops were largely cut off from the rest of the universe, you had miscreants that came in from outside the Nine Realms, pillaging and destroying and causing havoc. So that’s what our guys have been doing now – trying to put all these fires out across the Nine Realms.”
As I’ve said before, I’m beyond excited for Thor: The Dark World. The film looks to drop the overused humour from the first Thor, and instead appears to take on a much more serious tone. A tone that’s very fitting for a post-Avengers world, and a tone that the overly-silly Iron Man 3 should have had. Take a look at the new stills below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the film. Thor: The Dark World hits theatres on November 8th!
Marvel Studios’ “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.
