Ahead of our return to Asgard next month (in the UK, at least), Marvel has released a new TV spot for its next Phase Two offering Thor: The Dark World, which sees Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder setting out to protect the Nine Realms from Malekith the Accursed (Christopher Eccleston) and the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim; check it out after the official synopsis...."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."
Thor: The Dark World is directed by Alan Taylor (Game of Thrones) and also features returning Thor stars Natalie Portman (Jane Foster), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Anthony Hopkins (Odin), Rene Russo (Frigga), Stellan Skarsgård (Erik Selvig), Idris Elba (Heimdall), Ray Stevenson, (Volstagg) Jaimie Alexander (Lady Sif), Tadanobu Asano (Hogun) and Kat Dennings (Darcy Lewis) alongside Marvel newcomers Zachary Levi (Chuck) as Fandral and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) as Algrim the Strong / Kurse.
Thor: The Dark World is set for release on October 30th in the UK and November 8th in North America.
