X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

From ComicBookMovie:

Marvel’s  International Vice President, Nigel Cook, took to a convention in Italy, dubbed  the “Professional Cinema Days in Sorrento,” to present the first bit of (raw)  footage from next year’s much-anticipated Thor: The Dark World film. And  roughly-translated descriptions, courtesy of @Thor2Fans and @vingadoresdepre via Lavik Web Magazine, ScreenWEEK and Primissima, have surfaced dishing out a few  spoilers for the Alan Taylor-directed Marvel sequel. Check them out!

“In the preview, a voice-over is heard with the oath of the God of  Thunder as the new supreme ruler. We see a clash between Thor and the enemy  army, in a world that is neither Asgard let alone the Earth. We see Chris Hemsworth wielding his hammer and Tom Hiddleston as Loki first wounded without a  helmet, with long, loose hair and then imprisoned; his anger increasingly  desperate and irrational.

Then there’s a scene later in which he is free again,  but still furious. Against the backdrop of a forest, in the middle of a  clearing, among the dust, we in fact face off anthropomorphic creatures, but  also a big “gorilla” krosan tusker: a rather alien fauna varies so, although not  extreme in size (there are also some envoys/ambassadors of a people mysterious, with oval face and black eyes, elongated and sunken)

The rest of the  images show glimpses of Asgard, with Anthony Hopkins as Odin and Natalie Portman  in clothes that seem more like a princess; an Asgardian princess. In between,  there are images of an epic battle on horseback, who seems to have left an epic  cloak-and-dagger. The threat to the Asgardians is certainly a  new alien race  pale (now identified as the dark elves).

A black spaceship shaped  irregularly looks like a serious threat to Asgard. More sequences show Natalie  Portman then alongside Thor lying on the ground, probably overwhelmed in a  clash.”

After the clips were shown, Nigel Cook reassured  the audience that Thor: The Dark World begins and ends on Earth. And he  added that the sets built for the sequel were the largest ever built for a  Marvel Studios movie. Cook apparently also expressed concern that the film  may not receive the same attention as Marvel’s first outing next year, Iron  Man 3, which the executive says takes place a year after the events of Marvel’s The Avengers.
