Thor 2 anticipation day

[czeri]

I have to admit that I’m awaiting Thor: The Dark World with as much apprehension as impatience because, let’s face it, a sequel is hardly ever as good as the original. Also, I don’t trust the new director to keep the things I loved most about Thor intact. Still, a few major spoilers for Thor 2 have appeared on the web recently, and some of them actually sound promising.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Marvel Studios’ “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.

Fairly cryptic, eh? Now, for the spoilers:

First of all the filming locations indicate that some of the action will be happening in London (including big battle sequences), and I always love that. What I’m particularly looking forward to is "a POV shot filmed for Thor's mighty hammer, Mjolnir. [...] it'll be seen flying pass Londoners and around big landmarks." How cool is that?!

Other plot spoilers: "Thor becomes reunited with Jane who becomes possessed by a Dark Spirit, which is connected with the Dark Elves; a race the Asgardians have fallen out with many years beforehand [...] The Dark Elves attack Asgard, and they take a huge hit. So Thor has to rebuild Asgard by putting together an army to go and take the battle to the Dark Elves and defeat them. But the only way he can do this is – he needs to cross over to the Dark World, and the only person who has access to the dark side of Asgard is his old brother Loki, who at the beginning of the film is locked up in prison.

So what happens is Thor basically has to negotiate this truce with Loki, and he goes on this great trek with Jane, all three of them. They go to this far side of Asgard, which is being shot in Iceland, where they train and assemble an army to go and attack the Dark Elves’ world.”

"But the exclusive twist…is that one of the things that happens during the Asgardian attack is that Thor’s mother gets killed. So it becomes like a vengeance thing. And they were keeping very tight-lipped about what actually happens with Loki, you don’t know whether he redeems himself or he’s still the bad egg."

Poor Rene Russo, this after having most of her scenes cut from the first film...

In somewhat related news, the Iron Man 3 trailer is out, and I have to say it looks so generic I've lost any interest in seeing the film in cinema. I've never been a big Iron Man fan but I love Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, so I was looking forward to another Shane Black/RDJ team-up. The trailer makes the film look like a Batman rip-off rather than Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, though, so unless I hear Thor does a cameo I'm not interested.

Jak ja się cieszę, że się interesujesz spoilerami do Thora 2. Dzięki temu ja już nie muszę, bo i tak wszystkiego dowiem się od Ciebie. :)

A co Iron Man 3 - mnie też ten trailer zawiódł, ale jak na razie trwam w zamiarze pójścia do kina. Ale kto wie, do kwietnia może mi przejść.

Moze, jesli recenzje "Iron Mana" beda bardzo dobre, dam sie skusic. Ale na razie wyglada nieciekawie.
