Thor: Tales of Asgard Trailer Tells, well, Tales of Asgard

Comic Book Movie News, Thor: Tales of Asgard (2011) Movie, Videos — By Nix on February 9, 2010 Share/Bookmark

Marvel Studios is starting to crank out these animated direct-to-DVD movies. If I didn’t know any better, I’d swear they were trying to keep up with their dastardly foes, the blokes at D.C. If that’s the case, they better work faster, because I’m pretty sure (though I haven’t done any official counting) that D.C. has them beat by almost a 3-to-1 margin in terms of releases. Anyways, the latest Marvel title to get the DVD movie treatment is another “Thor” tale (“Hulk vs. Thor” being the first one), this one “Tales of Asgard”, which will, of course, be set in the Thor universe — specifically, the fantastical land of Asgard.

The movie finds a young, reckless Thor going in search of a mythical sword with Loki and some friends. Good times are had by all.

MTV’s got your first look at the movie’s trailer below. According to them, you’re looking at a 2011 release date for “Tales of Asgard”, probably around the same time as Kenneth Branagh’s “Thor” movie.

    Trying to cash in on the Thor live-action film. This was due out this year but they fast-tracked “Planet Hulk” and pushed “Tales of Asgard” back to next year. But if they really want to keep up with DC;s releases they’re gonna have to get some hollywood voice talent, and put more than one out EVERY year. DC has put out two if not three a year. Doomsday, and New frontier, then Gotham Knights and Wonder Woman, then First Flight and Public Enemies. Now Crisis on Two Earths and Red Hood. PLUS the new ones will have ten minute short cartoons. Crisis has “The SPectre,” and Hood will have “Jonah Hex” or “Adam Strange” I think.

    Looks like a cartoon from the 1980s. Has American animation not improved in the last 30 years?
