London Crumbles In THOR: THE DARK WORLD Concept Art
Conceptual artist Peter Popken (Monuments Men) has updated his website with some fantastic pieces of concept art he created for Marvel's sequel, Thor: The Dark World. Check them out.
Concept artist Peter Popken has designed concept art for many feature films like Monuments Men, Cloud Atlas, Wrath of the Titans, Hugo and of course, Alan Taylor's 2013 film Thor: The Dark World. Below, you can find six pieces of concept art from Marvel's sequel to Thor. I especially like the bottom three depicting London being torn to pieces during the climactic battle scene involving Malekith the Accursed (Christopher Eccleston) and his army of Dark Elves.

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.
THOR: THE DARK WORLD was directed by Alan Taylor ("Game of Thrones") and will be coming to DVD soon. Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Natalie Portman, Rene Russo, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Zachary Levi, Jaimie Alexander, Ray Stevenson, Kat Dennings, Christopher Eccleston, and Idris Elba.
