And so it begins... With today's Iron Man 3 panel at San Diego Comic Con, Marvel Studios will reveal much more about their upcoming projects. Now, IGN has exclusively revealed that the full title for Thor sequel might be Thor: The Darkest World. Report also says this:

"The title will be revealed during today's Marvel panel at San Diego Comic-Con panel in Hall H. We hear there may even be some footage from the film shown. (We'd imagine it might be visual effects/proof of concept-type stuff.) Want even more cool Marvel movie news? That Ant-Man footage that Edgar Wright recently shot will be shown to the fans, according to our sources."

Stay tuned for much more Comic-Con news, as well as a full report about this and Iron Man 3 in a couple of hours.

Exploring Thor's relationship with the Asgardian all-father Odin, as well earthbound companion Jane Foster, “Thor 2” follows the God of Thunder to other worlds beyond Asgard and earth. With the Warriors Three tagging along, among other Asgardian warriors, more mythical Norse creatures are expected. “Thor 2” stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba, Jaimie Alexander, Zachary Levi, Tadanobu Asano, and Ray Stevenson. Alan Taylor (“Game of Thrones”) takes over directorial duties from Kenneth Branagh, who helmed the first “Thor” film. And “Thor 2” hits theaters November 8th, 2013.

Wow, that's a pretty weak title. At least it isn't Thor 2 anymore.

Well, I don't think they've shot any of Thor 2 yet, so they probably won't show any Thor footage. But I can bet on them showing some Iron Man 3 footage, plus the Ant-Man screen test.

I hate when move sequels get numbered, Spider-man 2, Ironman 3 etc. no originality behind it, so this is a good thing with the Thor title change.

I'm okay with the title. While THOR: GOD OF THUNDER would have been the better title.

The "in-thing" is for the second film to use the character's nickname as the title. Batman Begins > The Dark Knight. If Superman Return had gotten a sequel, it would have been THE MAN OF STEEL. Amazing Spider-Man I'm sure will follow suit with SPECTACULAR SPIDERMAN as Hulk was followed by THE INCREDIBLE HULK. Funny.

If they want to keep with this 'Darkest World' thing. Remove the 'THE'. Saying 'THE' right after Thor sounds repetitive.

Thor: Darkest World sounds better.

Thor 2 would be better. It's simple, and you know what it is. No one complained with Iron Man 2 and now 3, and all of the previous numbered titles in movie history. What's different now? I hate corny subtitles. I don't take them seriously. That was one thing I didn't like about Captain America: The First Avenger. Simply Captain America or The First Avenger would have sufficed.

I like the title. I wonder what its meaning is... also bring on the Ant-Man footage. Better release it online too though.

Sounds plot oriented - definitely the right direction for Thor.

I love that picture from the Avengers. Kills the Highlander pose.
