Chris Hemsworth sat down with USA Today and discussed his upcoming role in the sequel Thor: The Dark World as the Asgardian Master of Thunder. The first Thor movie left off with Thor leaving Earth and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) behind. Although Tony Stark’s girlfriend Pepper got some loving and screen time in The Avengers, Jane Foster was curiously absent, not even an offhand mention. Hemsworth says:
“Thor still has lot of explaining to do, and a lot of making up, Even demigods end up in the doghouse, mate. So none of us is safe.”
In Thor: The Dark World, Thor is forced to take Foster to Asgard for her own protection. Kevin Feige said:
“So while Thor was a fish out of water on Earth in the first two films (Thor and The Avengers), this time Jane is very much a fish out of water in Asgard.” says Feige.
“She pulls the look off,” says Hemsworth, “as you’d expect from Natalie Portman.”
“It’s superhero action, but it’s the familiar territory of a love triangle where the parents think your girlfriend is wrong for you,” says Feige. “That’s how the best of these movies work.”
I can’t wait to find out how Game of Thrones alum director Alan Taylor takes on the task of showing us the daily troubles of Asgard and her people. The sets and locations we’re going to see this time should give fans a new look at the worlds Thor lives in.

News from the production of director Alan Taylor‘s Thor: The Dark World went kinda gone “dark” lately compared to many other Marvel movies, but today we’ve got a new movie poster for the Thunder God’s sequel. This poster is all Thor, hopefully we’ll get some more teasers as we gear up for next week’s release of the movie’s first trailer on April 23rd.
Chris Hemsworth has really grown into this role, just look at him. He is everything the classic comic book Thor should look like. I’m really hoping we see Thor really let loose his full powers in this movie. This movie shows us what Thor is up to after The Avengers.
Thor: The Dark World also stars Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, Idris Elba, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Zachary Levi, Tadanobu Asano and Jaimie Alexander with Rene Russo and Anthony Hopkins as Odin, the film is set for release on November 8, 2013.

Marvel showed a trailer for the upcoming Thor sequel–Thor: The Dark World–at the Disney Consumer Show in Mexico City recently. According to GeekTyrant, this is the first time footage from the film has been shown to an audience. MarvelMexico was on hand, and offered this description of the trailer:
It starts with a voiceover, is Thor, you see some scenes of a big battle and then Jane Foster and other humans running scared cause something is “coming”. Thor says: “I promised I would return for you” as we see Thor arriving Earth to take Jane to Asgard. Apparently the fight scenes are pretty awesome, and the trailer show that Thor is out of Malekith’s league, in fact we can see a very damaged and tired God of Thunder. And since he’s no match for the Dark Elve, the mighty Avenger will have to search for help. This lead us to a scene where we see a big crystal prision and there’s someone sit on the ground. It’s Loki. Thor says: I need your help, but if you betray me…I will kill you. Loki smiles and answers: What do I have to do? Then we see another scene of Thor figthing Malekith while Jane is watching. Malekith looks threatening. Jane looks terrified. Thor looks overwhelmed. Malekith stares at Jane and Thor yells: NOOOOO!
The trailer was introduced by Vice President of Marvel International Nigel Cook, and will be seen by audiences worldwide in May 3: Right before Iron Man 3.

As one of the foremost experts on the physics of the universe, Neil deGrasse Tyson is one big nerd and he really flexes his nerd muscle through his Twitter account.
Earlier in the week, Neil deGrasse must have been watching the Avengers, or Thor, because of a special revelation he posted online that has had many of us pondering for quite some time. Using scientific methods, which most of us would have had an ice cream head ache over, and his knowledge of the building materials that went into the legendary weapon, Neil came up with a rough estimate of just how heavy Mjolnir is.
The astronomical science is one thing, so to simplify it for all us not-so-scientific people, he has graciously used elephants as a form of measurement. And thanks to some research from Blastr, we now know an average male African bush elephant weighs roughly 12,000 lbs. Random trivia fact for the day. You’re welcome. But how exactly did deGrasse figure all of this out without physically holding a hammer that technically doesn’t even exist?
…
…
Brace yourself.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is a god or he just uses his best judgement and makes up some random number while referencing a herd of elephants. Either way, I am not going to second guess a man that knows so much about astronomy.

If you are one of the faithful waiting to throw down $219 bucks on the super special sleek silver briefcase packaged edition of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One – Avengers Assembled, we’ve got good news. After being delayed due to someone forgetting to secure the rights to replicate said shiny metal briefcase (oops), Marvel is finishing up a deal with the German suitcase manufacturer and soon you will be able to blow a third of your rent on the set.
As preciously reported, MCU:P1 will contain all 6 of Marvels ‘Phase One’ films (Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, and The Avengers) the mysteriously named Item 47 short and of course hours upon hours of commentary tracks, behind the scenes documentaries, deleted scenes, printed thingys, a doodad or two and more (the stuff we don’t need, yet must have anyway.)
But wait, that’s not all! With the delay pushing the release back a couple of months, Marvel Studios will now be adding teaser footage, concept art, and Easter eggs for the ‘Phase Two.’ Reportedly the set will give us a good look at Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Guardians of the Galaxy and they aren’t even going to jack up that price tag!
You spoil us Marvel Studios.

Each and every week we scour the Internet for nothing but the best in nerdy art. We leave no digital stone unturned, we poke and prod every nook and cranny of the Interwebz. Why? Because we love you, and we love to bring you weekly feed of nerd art. On with the dump!
Can there be just one single moment when these two are alone where they don’t fight over Spider-Man, even a plush version of the wall crawler? Guess not, but at least they know all sleep over fights must be done in your pajamas. *Special Note: If you know who drew this please tell us, we’ll credit them. [Hybrid Waste]
