Thor footage from Comic-Con makes its way online

As discussed in our round-up of the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con earlier this week, a large part of the Marvel Studios presentation was devoted to their next big-budget superhero offering Thor. Director Kenneth Branagh and stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Clark Gregg and Kat Dennings were on hand to deliver over five minutes of preview footage, which has now made its way online (originally via ComicBookMovie.com).

Check out an embed of the footage here while it lasts:

There's some interesting stuff in the preview and I have to admit it looks a lot better than I'd anticipated based on the images that have been released these past few weeks. I think one of the concerns about Thor has been how they'd be able to merge the fantastical elements of his world into the more grounded universe laid down by Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, but by the looks of it that isn't going to be an issue.

One thing is for certain though... Clark Gregg must be a pretty happy chap as his role as Agent Coulson seems to keep growing by the film and should be a good way to tie the series together in the run up to The Avengers in 2012.

Thor
is set for 3D release in May 2011.
