Next year there will be two movies based on Snow White. How is this possible? Hey we had years with two asteroid movies, two period pieces about magic and two movies about penguins so … why not? With the “Snow White and the Huntsman” and “Mirror Mirror” trailers both released in the past week, we have a first look at what these movies might be like. Both trailers are embedded later in this post so you can see which one might be up your alley.

“Snow White and the Huntsman” seems like a crazy epic hardcore movie while “Mirror, Mirror” seems like it’s pretty much a comedy. Completely different takes on the same basic idea, which is probably the best way to go. Having them be too similar would guarantee one of these movies fail completely, but if they each appeal to a different audience, they can both succeed without drowning the other.

Keep reading to watch both trailers.

The above image isn’t all that spoilery. You know that The Avengers is the big screen team up of some of Marvel comics’ most famous heroes. There was a quick official teaser last month. Now we have this summer’s two most popular characters, Captain America and Thor, on set and in costume.

The footage after the cut of course is missing all the special effects work you would expect from this movie, but some might consider it a spoiler so watch at your own risk. You’ll find a gallery of still images at SplashNews

Warning: This footage contains major spoilers for Captain America.
Joss Whedon’s big screen team up The Avengers rivals the sequel to The Dark Knight for geek buzz. And since The Dark Knight Rises has a teaser, it fits that we get one for The Avengers.

Fans who saw Captain America were treated to a preview of things to come, as is now Marvel tradition. However as this teaser build off the events of Thor and very greatly off the events of Captain America, I’m embedding the footage after the cut to avoid spoiling anyone. Click at your own risk. The clip actually contains more footage from Captain America than The Avengers which is why I’m being so extra careful.

I will note first that this is NOT the full teaser following Captain America, just a portion of it. So its a teaser for a teaser. That works. If you have any interest in seeing The Avengers, it would be worth it to see Captain America, as its probably the best Marvel Studios movie since the original Iron Man started this march toward the team up 3 years ago.

Marvel Studios, without having an official presence at San Diego Comic Con, still managed to satisfy their base by releasing 7 character art posters and theater teaser poster for next year’s The Avengers.

The gallery included artwork showing Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man, Mark Ruffalo as Hulk, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury, Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, and Clark Gregg as Agent Caulson.

As you can see, these posters form a larger picture. I’ve ‘assembled’ the banners into a version larger than the one Marvel released. Click the banner here below to see the big version!

Disney announced today that July 26, 2013 will be the expected release date for Thor 2. Chris Hemsworth is reportedly on board for the sequel, but Kenneth Branagh will not be returning as director. Branagh will most likely be involved in some “producing capacity” according to Deadline.

The summer of 2013 will be a busy summer for Marvel Studios with Iron Man 3 already scheduled for May 3rd.

Thanks to forum member Robbie for the tip!

Here is Chris Hemsworth as Thor Odinson, just a couple seconds after waking up on Earth it appears. Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, Stellan Skarsgård as Professor Andrews, and Kat Dennings as Darcy also appear in the clip.

For being a god of thunder, Thor shows remarkable weakness to electricity.
