The first poster for Thor: The Dark World, along with a release date for the Thor sequel’s anticipated first trailer, has been revealed!
With all of these Iron Man 3 trailers, clips, and interviews coming out of the wood-work, now is the perfect time to deliver a glimpse at the next movie on Marvel’s roster: Thor:The Dark World.
Today, the Marvel UK Twitter account tweeted out the very first look at the poster, along with a release date for the trailer, which will hit the internet on April 23, 2013.

Although the poster doesn’t reveal much about the film (aside from the snow, which might suggest another visit to the Jotunheim), it does feature Thor wielding his mighty hammer Mjolnir, ready to strike. We have a much larger version for you viewing pleasure directly below. No need to thank us, it’s our job.
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.
This image of Chris Hemsworth as Thor was captured on the second day of filming for Thor: The Dark World, which Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige discussed in a new interview with USA Today (via CBM) “It’s rare that you have a poster that is just Chris Hemsworth shooting on the set,” says Feige. “But he just looks like Thor. We just put in some lightning, and he’s got his hammer and you’re there. It’s just an incredibly striking image.”
Indeed, the first poster heavily features Thor and only Thor, but when the trailer premieres next Tuesday (and you’ll be able to catch it right here on Hypable the moment that it does), we’re hoping to see more of Doctor Who star Christopher Eccleston as Malekith the Accursed, as well as more from the other citizens of Asgard and more of the nine realms.
Given the presence of the Dark Elves (including Malekith) in the film, it may be safe to say that we’ll be treated something more cosmic and less Earthly than Thor, and if you read our analysis when the above synopsis first came out, then you know what other mystical accessories that we plan to catch in Thor: The Dark World.
