The first trailer for Thor: The Dark World has arrived.

And appropriately enough for someone who spends all his days swinging around a giant hammer, it's 'smashing'.

It's got pretty much everything you could want from a teaser trailer, and certainly hints at a darker tone.

In just 160 seconds, we're privy to floating superpowered trucks, giant things blowing up London (again), a few glimpses of Jamie Alexander's take on bad-ass warrior Lady Sif, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) in what looks like pretty serious danger, and the ultimate tease - a long-haired Loki playing mindgames from the inside of his own Magneto-ish prison.

But enough waffling - watch the trailer below and let us know what you think in the comments below.
