Disney calmed down some pretty miffed Star Wars fans at the D23 Expo by quickly moving on to Marvel. After the footage from SDCC was shown, Kevin Feige introduced Thor: The Dark World director Alan Taylor, Tom Hiddleston, Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins who had a brand new clip for us. Here's a nice detailed description from Bleeding Cool:
This one showed Jane Foster in Asgard, being analysed by whatever means the Asgardians have instead of medical science. There’s a piece of kit in the scene that the magic-minded Asgardians see as a “soul forge” but Foster calls “a quantum field generator.” There’s some kind of “dark energy” inside Foster and, apparently, it’s transforming to better defend itself. It’s the kind of plot point that only makes sense when seen as magic, but hey – it establishes that Foster is in grave danger this time around. And I wonder if they’ll be playing this as some kind of pregnancy metaphor? Seems like real a possibility. The romance between Foster and Thor is clearly central to the scene, with Odin pleased to see Foster, and her exclaiming to Thor, “You told your Dad about me?!”
Thoughts?
