Last weekend the attendees at 2010 San Diego Comic-Con got the first look at the first footage from the big screen adaptation of the Marvel Comics film Thor at a screening of the film’s first movie trailer … today we get to check out that movie trailer for ourselves. Somehow the movie trailer that was shown at Comic-Con leaked its way to the Internets, giving the rest of us our FIRST LOOK at the live action version of Thor:

The highly-anticipated trailer for “Thor” which was debuted at San Diego Comic Con has now hit the web. In the five-minute video, Chris Hemsworth’s Thor is featured being interrogated by Agent Coulson. Later, it switches to the scene set in the Hall of Asgard where he is cast down to Earth. The rest of the video then follows the powerless warrior as he is juggling with the life on Earth. Thor is a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth by his father Odin and is forced to live among humans. He later learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth. Anthony Hopkins joins the cast as Odin with Natalie Portman and Tom Hiddleston playing Thor’s love interest Jane Foster and his nemesis Loki respectively. Kenneth Branagh takes the helming duty for this movie adaptation of Marvel comics which is slated for May 6, 2011 release in the U.S.

Ok, yes, I’m impressed. Of the superhero films being released next year, Thor was the one that had me the most worried. Telling the tale of the ancient Norse gods as they interact here with humans on Earth is easy to do in comics but I felt it would be a challenge to make it believable on the big screen … this first trailer has put those fears to rest for me. I’m actually shocked by how much footage they have filmed already. This trailer ends with the introduction of one of Thor‘s villains — The Destroyer (who, you may recall, we first got to see back in April) … wait ’til you get a load of him. Check out a few more trailer screencaps as well as the actual movie trailer in full, after the jump …

I’m impressed with the whole trailer, to be honest, but my fave parts are the scenes in Asgard and the end bit featuring The Destroyer … wait ’til you see it for yourselves … which you can do right here:

OMG, I love this … it looks great! My guess is that most of the film will deal with Thor‘s first days on Earth but I’m really looking forward to seeing him in costume, in Asgard and fighting against The Destroyer. This first taste of Thor is very satisfying for me, what do YOU think?
