Marvel and Paramount Pictures have released a new clip from Thor showing the thunder god's undignified, yet comical, arrival on Midgard, and his first encounter with modern mortals -- and their technology.

It's a brief snippet, but it showcases the movie's lighthearted element, as well as stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Stellan Skarsgård and Kat Dennings. And Kat Dennings' Taser, naturally.

Directed by Kenneth Branagh, Thor also stars Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hiddleston, Jaimie Alexander, Colm Feore, Joshua Dallas, Tadanobu Asano, Ray Stevenson, Idris Elba, Rene Russo, Clark Gregg and Samuel L. Jackson. It opens in 3D on May 6.

God Of Thunder Battles A Taser (And Loses) In First Thor Clip

Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment present the epic adventure, Thor, which spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is the mighty Thor (Chris Hemsworth), a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth by his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and is forced to live among humans. A beautiful, young scientist, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), has a profound effect on Thor, as she ultimately becomes his first love. It’s while here on Earth that Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.
