WATCH: Thor: The Dark World first trailer released

Chris Hemsworth has reprised his superhero role in the first Thor: The Dark World trailer.

The promotional video, which premiered earlier today, sees the Norse God fighting armies of Dark Elves, ushering Jane Foster (played by Natalie Portman) through Asgard and facing off against Malekith - the evil villain played by Christopher Eccleston.

It also stars Tom Hiddleston as a long-haired Loki, Thor's notorious adopted brother.

Rounding off the supporting cast are Sir Anthony Hopkins, Rene Rosso, Idris Elba, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Kat Dennings and Zachary Levi.

Alan Taylor (Game Of Thrones) has replaced Kenneth Branagh as the second director of the Thor series. Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have written the script for the epic adventure. The duo's previous writing credits include Captain America: The First Avenger, among others. They have been joined in writing duties by comic scribe Christopher Yost.

Thor: The Dark World will open in the UK on 30 October 2013.
