Can some friendly soul explain to me why they changed Fandral´s actor? I love Zachary Levi but out of pure curiosity, why?

Josh Dallas' commitment to Once Upon A Time overlapped the filming of TDW so he had to bow out. Oddly enough, Zach Levi was their original choice for the role, but at the time of the first movie, Zach's commitment to Chuck prevented him from being in that film (so the part went to Josh Dallas)

Right back at ya with the gif. Did I say he was hurting her? I was pointing out that it's not in Loki's nature to protect or help. Thor is clearly busy, he could be doing something else to her (magic wise or what not), or saying something to her. But shielding? Nah. Helping her up? Probably not since the gif that Sombra posted had just Loki and Thor standing, not Jane.

The other guy had previous obligations to his TV show and couldn't come back. This new guy was originally planned to play Fandral from the beginning but couldn't because of previous obligations to his TV show. It all comes full circle

Pretty sure it's one of the Marauders.

The previous guy had tv commitments. Levi was marvel's first choice anyways but he wasn't available at the time due in scheduling conflict.

With a TV show, oddly enough.

He always has his own motives. If helping Thor and Jane serves him in anyway you bet he would

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

EDIT: For some reason it's only showing the link *grr* trying to fix it...

EDIT 2: My mistake, I was accidentally putting it under URL instead of picture. I'm stupid XP

Loki looks terrified at whatever it is...could it be Kurse? We know Kurse is standing around during handgate. There was also a still at Collider with Loki looking at Kurse with a terrified look

O-o-oh, he kind of does. Maybe he's cautious and surprised because Malekith and/or Kurse is still standing after Thor went full on on their butts.

The IGN featurette (youtube version) about 1:23 when Sif puts her sword to Loki's throat, I don't know if it's edited (sped up?) for trailer purposes or if that's how it will be in the movie, but talk about some damn fast reflexes by Loki!!!

It was definitely sped up. Humans can't move that fast on command, maybe by pure reflex with adrenaline running, but not in a normal, totally safe environment.

Oh I know it was sped up from how they filmed it, I just meant more in terms of in world/story since some times trailers will speed scenes up (or slow them down) just for the trailer than how it ends up in the film itself. That's what I was saying I wasn't sure on, whether Loki, as a character (and not Tom as an actor) has that quick of a reflex in the actual movie, or if it was edited just for that trailer/sneak peek (does that make sense?)

Either way, again, damn fast reflexes

[Sombra112]

At 0:12 in the youtube version, you can see Thor and Odin walking around a training yard where the W3 are training with a few other Asgardians. It's not really relevant to anything we're talking about but I thought it looks kind of cool.

[thalidomide]

I loved that they actually went to some beautiful locations to shoot the movie.

Oh, okay, I get you now . Yeah, good point

Not trying to pick sides, you were just the last one that posted, but here's more information on that shot for you two. I slowed it down and watched it, Jane is turning and pointing her face towards the ground and Loki is kind of hunching over, just a bit and making a move like he's about to hold her head.

Loki's possible thoughts, "If we get through this alive, Thanos is still coming for me... Hmmm, Thor as a genuine ally would be a huge help. Hmmm, let's protect his woman to start the relationship recovery..."

Or

"Thor told me to protect her, and I think this time he will actually kill me if I don't.... So...."

Or

"Hmmm, I'm going to get a quick kiss and handfull while he's distracted"

Actually, those first two actually sound like they would be plausible. The first more than the second, though the third made me laugh XD

Stealing Thor's girlfriend would be a pretty hilarious double cross

Rob Keyes of Screenrant.com just posted a massive article about his set visit. Its pretty extensive with tons of detail about the movie. Weapons used, the worlds visited, Kurse, Malekith etc. Its a great read to pump you up even more for the movie.

Also this is Vanaheim as depicted in the Thor 2 Video game. Its apparently going to be in the movie as well. Sorry if this has already been posted

It's a Marauder.

Kurse has infinitely more horns all over his body. Looks completely different, especially if you've seen the still from the trailer (not to mention his toy).

Ironically that Marauder sort've reminds me of Heimdall from the comics.
