D23 Expo Preview: Thor: The Dark World Footage Decription And A New Image

At the D23 Expo today, Kevin Feige introduced "Thor: The Dark World" director Alan Taylor, Tom Hiddleston, Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins who had a brand new clip for us. Here's a nice detailed description from Bleeding Cool: 

"This one showed Jane Foster in Asgard, being analyzed by whatever means the Asgardians have instead of medical science. There’s a piece of kit in the scene that the magic-minded Asgardians see as a "soul forge" but Foster calls "a quantum field generator.”"There’s some kind of “dark energy” inside Foster and, apparently, it’s transforming to better defend itself. It’s the kind of plot point that only makes sense when seen as magic, but hey – it establishes that Foster is in grave danger this time around. And I wonder if they’ll be playing this as some kind of pregnancy metaphor? Seems like real a possibility. The romance between Foster and Thor is clearly central to the scene, with Odin pleased to see Foster, and her exclaiming to Thor, "You told your Dad about me?!" "

Live Update:

"Marvel head Kevin Feige trotted out a new clip from Thor: The Dark World shows the demi-god and his peers on the battlefield. A lot of this footage was similar to the latest trailer and what Marvel showed at Comic-Con last month.  The 5-minute clip ended with Thor and his brother and rival Loki in a fierce fight.

Loki himself Tom Hiddleston came out to the crowd sans costume. “I should apologize for not turning up in costume. I’m not going to get this crowd to kneel. This is Disneyland. But I did bring some friends of mine.” At which point he introduced Natalie Portman, and Anthony Hopkins. The Oscar winning Hopkins, who plays Thor’s father Odin in the franchise, had the entire crowd on their feet. Portman explained that unlike the first film where Thor was on Earth, her character “is the one who is the fish out of water.” Feige then introduced an exclusive clip of Portman’s Jane Foster character’s first day in the Asgard."
