With Iron Man 3 signed, sealed, delivered and days away from rolling out internationally, Disney will soon begin marketing efforts for Marvel’s second installment to its promising Phase Two lineup: Thor: The Dark World. Wisely attaching the Alan Taylor-directed sequel’s first trailer with Shane Black’s threequel, the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) as revealed an approved running time of 1 minute and 41 seconds. With a heads up courtesy of @ThorMoviesFan, the teaser is expected to debut online April 23rd, just a week from now. Furthermore, If Marvel-Disney’s promotion for Thor: The Dark World is akin to Iron Man 3’s marketing, we may also get the first stills from the sequel as well as a teaser poster on the same day of the trailer.

Marvel Studios’ “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.
