This summer, a 5-minute reel from San Diego Comic-Con leaked online, giving all of us a look at Kenneth Branagh‘s Thor. Now, Paramount has debuted the official trailer. The comic book movieattempts to take Iron Man‘s early May slot to kick of the summer season. I’m not terribly interested in the character of Thor, but the trailer looks decent, and with Branagh at the helm, I’ll be there. The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo, Stellan Skarsgard, Jaimie Alexander, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Josh Dallas, Tadanobu Asano, Idris Elba, Clark Gregg, and Colm Feore. See it below via Yahoo.
Synopsis:
Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment present the epic adventure, “Thor,” which spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is the mighty Thor (Chris Hemsworth), a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth by his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and is forced to live among humans. A beautiful, young scientist, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), has a profound effect on Thor, as she ultimately becomes his first love. It’s while here on Earth that Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.
Thor hits theaters May 6th, 2011.
