Marvel Studios has premiered a new trailer for director Alan Taylor's "Thor: The Dark World" that hits upon that magic movie formula: widespread destruction, a touch of humor and lots of Tom Hiddleston's Loki.

Directed by Alan Taylor and releasing November 8, "Thor: The Dark World" stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Stellan Skarsgard, Idris Elba, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Tandanobu Asano, Jamie Alexander and Rene Russo with new additions Christopher Eccleston, Zachary Levi and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje.

Marvel's Thor: The Dark World continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, The Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all The Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself. In the aftermath of Marvel's Thor and Marvel's The Avengers, Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos... but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all.
