Unfortunately, a lot of us weren’t at Comic Con. It happens every year – comic companies bring their A-game to show off, and the rest of us are left wondering what was shown. Fortunately, over at Splash Page for MTV, we have detailed descriptions of both the footage for Thor and Captain America, which we will now share with you in lieu of leaked footage/camera phone crap:
THOR:
The footage opens with scenes of Thor wailing on various people while Gregg’s Agent Coulson says, “You made my men look like a bunch of minimum wage mall cops.”
“Who are you?” he asks. And the camera goes in close on Hemsworth’s face.
We then get a look at Asgard as the camera flies overhead. We see Odin on the throne, as well as shots of the Warriors Three, Sif, Loki, Heimdall, and Frigga. Odin condemns Thor, who responds by telling him, “You are an old man and a fool!”
Odin casts him out, and the view suddenly flies through a galaxy of stars, finally landing on a shot of Hemsworth crumpled on the ground.
After Darcy and Jane Foster discover him, Thor opens his eyes and tells them, “Oh no, this is Earth, isn’t it?”
We get a few shots of Thor acclimating to Earth and talking with Foster, telling her all her questions will be answered when he finds what he’s looking for on Earth.
Cue: Thor ripping a sheet of plastic off a wall, revealing his hammer. When he tries to lift his hammer, he’s unable to do so – and he falls to the ground, screaming.
We then see Odin dying – a single tear falls down his cheek – and Loki ascending to the throne.
Various battle scenes unfold as Thor and The Warriors Three battle some unknown foe. It all culminates with a shot of Thor throwing a goblet into the fire as everything fades to black. A few seconds later, Agent Coulson is back on the screen, approaching some unseen object in the desert. As the dust clears, it’s revealed to be DESTROYER!
“Is it one of Stark’s?” an agent asks Coulson.
“I don’t know,” he responds. “That guy never tells me anything.”
Destroyer then open fires on the agents’ vehicles with a massive blast of energy from his facemask, and the screen fades to the “Thor” title – with rain dripping on the letters as they fade toward the camera.
THE FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA:
-A voiceover repeated the famous Pearl Harbor declaration of December 7, 1941, as a “day that will live forever in infamy.”
– Over clips of WWII headlines and footage, the text narration revealed that “one story has never been told,” and the camera pans out to show Captain America’s shield.
– “Every army starts with one man,” it continues, and we’re given a full-body silhouette of Captain America. The camera then offers up a close-up profile shot of Chris Evans as Cap, as he turns to face the camera.
– The “Captain America” title flashes, and then… a quick shot of Cap slinging the shield!
A castle wall is blown inward, killing one of the two men inside. As the dust settles, we see a group of Nazis emerge, with orders to open up a tomb in the center of the room. As they struggle to open it, everyone turns to face a recent arrival – a pre-scarring Red Skull.
“It’s taken me a long time to find this place,” he tells the caretaker.
“What you seek is just a legend,” the caretaker responds.
“Why make such an effort to conceal it,” responds Weaving’s character.
The soldiers remove the lid form the tomb, revealing an ancient skeleton holding a sword and a transparent cube (the Cosmic Cube?). Red Skull holds up the cube, calling it a Tesseract – the gem of Odin’s treasures – and drops it, breaking it.
Red Skull then locates a secret panel on the wall and removes a small box coiled with golden serpents. He opens it, and is engulfed in a blue glow.
“Ordinary men were not meant to look upon it,” says the caretaker.
“Exactly,” says Red Skull.
Sounds quite exciting! Apparently those there thought that the footage looked fantastic, so needless to say that May and July of 2011 can’t come soon enough! For more info about what happened at the Marvel Studios panel last night, check out Splash Page for full coverage.
