Marvel Studios Releases Official Plot Synopsis for ‘Thor: The Dark World’

Marvel Studios has released the full plot synopsis for ‘Thor: The Dark World’, the sequel to last year’s blockbuster hit ‘Thor’, starring Chris Hemsworth as the titular movie hero. Kenneth Branagh isn’t returning to direct the sequel this time around, but he is staying on as producer. This will be Hemsworth’s third time on screen as Thor, the God of Thunder, after first appearing in ‘Thor’, and then appearing in ‘Marvel’s The Avengers’. I’m a big fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far, and I can’t wait to see exactly where ‘Thor: The Dark World’ is headed. I love the cast, and I’m very excited to see Christopher Eccleston, of ‘Doctor Who’ fame, playing the villain this time around. Hit the jump for the full press release.

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.

Starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, Idris Elba, Christopher Eccleston, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Zachary Levi, Tadanobu Asano and Jaimie Alexander with Rene Russo and Anthony Hopkins as Odin, “Thor: The Dark World” is directed by Alan Taylor, produced by Kevin Feige, from a story by Don Payne (credit not final) and screenplay by Christopher Yost and Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely (credit not final) and is based on Marvel’s classic Super Hero Thor, who first appeared in the comic book “Journey into Mystery” #83 in August, 1962.

“Thor: The Dark World” is presented by Marvel Studios. The executive producers are Louis D’Esposito, Alan Fine, Stan Lee, Victoria Alonso, Craig Kyle and Nigel Gostelow.

‘Thor: The Dark World’ is currently set for a November 8, 2013 release date. Are you excited for the sequel? Let me know in the comments below.
