“Thor: The Dark World” is the sequel to 2011’s “Thor” and the eighth installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Australian native Chris Hemsworth returns as the Asgardian god and prince Thor.
The movie starts with Loki (Tom Hiddleston), younger brother of Thor, stands before Odin ( Anthony Hopkins), father of Thor, in shackles and is sentenced to imprisonment, as Thor, alongside warriors Fandral (Zachary Levi), Volstagg (Ray Stevenson) and Sif (Jaimie Alexander), prevents invaders from Vanaheim, home of their companion Hogun (Tadanobu Asano); it’s the final battle in a two-year war to make peace in the Nine Realms.
When Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) goes missing from earth Thor goes to find her finding her in a factory. Foster awakes with a powerful energy that the Asgardian doctors can’t remove. Frigga (Rene Russo), Odin’s wife, Thor’s mother and Loki’s adoptive mother takes Foster under her wing. Unlike “The Avengers” were Thor and Loki were on opposite teams, Thor has no choice but to work alongside his brother when Malekith (Christopher Eccleston), invades Asgard and kidnaps Foster.
