Second theatrical trailer for Marvel's Thor

Captain America: The First Avenger may have grabbed all of the headlines coming out of the Super Bowl, but Marvel Studios are stepping up the promotion of their first superhero flick of 2011, Thor, with the release of a second theatrical trailer. There's plenty of Asgardian action on offer along with a decent look at the villainous Loki (Tom Hiddleston), and it seems to give us a better idea of the film's tone than its predecessor (watch the first trailer here).

Thor is directed by Kenneth Branagh and stars Chris Hemsworth in the lead role as the hammer-wielding God of Thunder, along with Natalie Portman (Jane Foster), Anthony Hopkins (Odin), Jaimie Alexander (Sif), Colm Feore (Ymir), Stellan Skarsgård (Professor Andrews), Joshua Dallas (Fandral), Ray Stevenson (Volstagg), Idris Elba (Heimdall), Rene Russo (Frigga), Kat Dennings (Darcy), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) and Clark Gregg (Agent Coulson).


Thor is set for a UK release on April 29th and hits North American cinemas on May 6th.
