Comic-Con Buzzes: Avengers, Cowboys & Aliens, Thor
>> Jul 25, 2010
The full cast of Marvel's "The Avengers" have walked out on stage at the Studios panel in Hall H at the San Diego Comic Con recently. It begin with Avengers ‘A’ logo that slowly resolved on screen with the voice of Nick Fury (Sam Jackson) explained the formation of the world’s biggest superhero team. And then Jackson himself came on stage to introduce the cast. Clark Gregg (SHIELD Agent Coulson), Chris Evans (Captain America), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Robert Downey, Jr. (Iron Man), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Jeremy Renner (Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye), and Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner, aka The Hulk). Above is photo for the cast (click to enlarge slightly) along with the film's director Joss Whedon and Marvel Studios’ President Kevin Feige.
Two clips from "Cowboys and Aliens" were introduced in the film panel by Jon Favreau, both of which are presumably from the beginning of the film. The first clear photo of Daniel Craig as the main role also appeared showing the actor wearing a glowing device in his hand, an Iron Man-esque gadgetry to take down an alien ship. Have a look at the photo below.
Back to Marvel's panel, the studio has finally unveiled moving images from "Thor" when Director Kenneth Branagh took the stage with Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Kat Dennings, Clark Gregg and Tom Hiddleston. They didn’t reveal much but did twice show a trailer. Below is a full rundown of the trailer:
It opens with thunder and lightning, and a camera shot that drops directly down into a SHIELD-erected structure. The building is hiding the hammer of Thor, which was found in New Mexico. We hear Agent Coulsen (Clark Gregg) interrogating Thor as shots are intercut of Thor decimating SHIELD agents in rain and mud. Coulsen surmises that, based upon his prowess, Thor must have serious military training. (There’s a pretty cool shot with Thor useing a jump kick to drop one agent.) The interrogation comes to a head with: “who are you?”
Then the camera flies up into Asgard, panning around a huge gold, Jack Kirby-ish palace in which Odin is castigating Thor for being rash, dishonorable, selfish and bringing war to Asgard as a result. Thor, kneeling before Odin (Anthony Hopkins), wears his helmet (looks good!) but Odin bellows his anger at Thor and casts him out of Asgard.
Then the thunder god is lying in the dirt when he’s found by Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) and her assistant Darcy (Kat Dennings). Thor opens his eyes and grumbles “this is Earth, isn’t it?” The women take him in and Darcy cracks wise while ogling the god: “for an insane homeless man, he’s pretty cut.” There’s dialogue about Foster and her team being on the verge of some discovery and Thor promises that she’ll find what she’s looking for if he gets what he wants.
That’s the hammer, and we’ve got to surmise that Coulson’s interrogation comes after Thor broke into the compound to retrieve the hammer. But when we see him approach and attempt to lift it, he fails. Voiceover from Odin, “Whosoever lifts this hammer, if he is found worthy, shall weild the power of Thor.” The young god is obviously not yet worthy.
That leads to images of Loki taking over Asgard and a swirl of combat footage — the Warriors Three battling some threat to Asgard, chaos in the New Mexico town where Jane Foster is working and a big battle between Thor and Loki. Voiceover from Odin says something to the effect that Thor will have to face what’s coming to him. And that’s when the kicker comes in: Destroyer, a huge metal beast, lands in New Mexico. Coulson and other SHIELD agents confront it, with one agent asking if it’s one of Stark’s. Then the Destroyer’s face opens up and unleashes fiery hell on the agents.
