Marvel Studios released a sneak peek in 3D from Kenneth Branagh's big screen adaptation of Thor at the event in San Diego.
The trailer shows God of Thunder Thor (Chris Hemsworth) as his reckless behaviour causes him to be cast down to earth from Asgard to live among the humans, according to UGO.com.
Hemsworth told MTV: "The very first audition I had was one of those things in amongst several other auditions you get."
"You know nothing about it, there's no script or anything — it's very secretive. You might quickly rip through a couple of comic books, but it's also based on instinct."
Hemsworth appeared at Comic-Con alongside Thor co-star Natalie Portman.
The "Thor" footage was shown as part of the Marvel weekend triple header: "Captain America: The First Avenger," "Thor" and "The Avengers." By all reports, Marvel owned the 2010 Comic-Con.
With "Captain America," fans saw a glance at Chris Evans and a flying shield and Hugo Weaving before his transformation into Red Skull.
Marvel's Kevin Feige then introduced "Thor." Directed by Brit Branagh, the reaction to the dramatic trailer about the God of Thunder was so great it was shown twice due to the insanely loud ovation. It was replayed at the end of the panel. Can you blame the fan boys who were already drooling over the posters? They got to see Thor get it on with Natalie Portman, for the gods' sake!
Next came a teaser for "The Avengers" and Feige introduced Samuel Jackson, who introduced Clark Gregg, Scarlett Johansson, Kat Dennings, Chris Hemsworth, (who plays Thor) Chris Evans and Robert Downey, Jr. Then Downey confirmed the Comic-Con rumors and industry buzz about Jeremy Renner and Mark Ruffalo joining the film's cast.
The final touch: Director Joss Whedon came out onstage. Oh man, you so had to be there. The bad part? We have to wait until May 2011 to see the finished film.
