The Avengers How Loki arrives on earth! (in the trailer)

[50yroldfffan]

I believe we see in the new trailer how Loki and probably Thor reach earth. The scene where we first see Loki standing on a short metal platform as men with guns approach him carefully has high voltage wires leading to the platform and you can also see smoke rising from around Loki as he stands there. My theory is that he has just arrived/transported to earth. Next scene he looks up and attacks them. I believe this is the portal device that substitutes for the now destroyed Bifrost from the Thor movie. It's probably invented by Jane Foster in her quest to contact Thor again

 

[Ultimatehero]

Could be, but for some reason that scene's location reminds me of inside Stark's company from the final battle in the first movie. It has the same lighting and overall design.

 

[TheVileOne]

50yroldfffan, I dunno, seems more likely that might be where he escapes. Plus, his arrival on earth appears to happen off-screen in Thor. By Thor's after credits sequence, he's already on Earth. Though I suppose we could see it recounted in a flashback.

That was my first thought but then I thought why would he have a weapon/staff in his hands and what was with the smoke/steam around him. Looked more like a crude transport type device then a holding device.

 

[Superhero 101]

I just thought that the room he was in was the prison Shield built for him and he busts out.

Loki was able to travel to Jotunheim without the Bifrost, he was able to transport jotuns to Asgard without the Bifrost, and he boasted about not needing the Bifrost. I don't really think he's going to need Jane Foster...

Supposing that it is a transportation device of some sort, or perhaps a beacon, wouldn't it make more sense that Eric Selvig, under Loki's control and actually known to be in the movie, would be the inventor?

Agreed.

I think the trailer shows that room at several different times during the movie. First, Loki allows himself to be captured and "held" in that prison so that he can get to the Cosmic Cube in SHIELD's possession; then later, with some inside help (read: at least one mind-controlled Avenger or two), he busts out of this prison, gets his staff back *and* the Cube, and proceeds to make life miserable in Midgard.

 

[Godzilla2000]

I don't think the trailer shows anything related to how Loki gets to Earth. I think what it does show is how Loki escapes from wherever SHIELD has him holed up. It'll be quite awesome to see how it all plays out.

In the Thor movie I doen't remember him traveling without the bifrost? I do remember saying there where other ways into Asgard. And when we see him on earth I got the sense that was only his projected image.
I do think your right on the money about Eric Selvig inventing the transport device with Loki help, I just got a little lazy and was giving the credit to Foster . I figured she was the one who wants Thor back the worst so she can lay another wet kiss on him! lol It still doesn't look like a prison/holding area to me, perhaps some sort of power transfer device that makes Loki stronger! Thats why there is the smoke?

 

[Vartha]

Yeah basically Loki was using magic to get to Jontunheim, probably does the same thing after he lets go of Odin's spear and transports to Earth

 

[ladyloki]

He also has the staff in that shot .. but it shows it in the room with the avengers when they all come together, so it would have to take place after they are gathered... my guess is when you see them getting blasted through the glass, is when Loki gets his hands on the staff when he breaks out his cell

In the Thor scene where Loki encases Heimdall in ice, Loki specifically tells him there are many paths/holes to travel to/from realms. He said he didnt need Heimdall anymore...

 

[Spider-Vader]

It's an interesting idea, but I think Loki gets to Earth on his own.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ So do I.

Well if everybody remebers while Thor was destroy the rainbow bridge Loki yelled out "what are you doing? you'll never see her again!" That would tell me that they will need another way to get to earth. Im still thinking that shot in the trailer is that device not a prison. The only other thing it could be to me is a power amplifier. I know this might sound dumb but the smoke/steam around loki tells me some kind of power release event has happend.

 

[John Locke]

I read a theory that Loki isn't able to take corporeal form yet possesses Selvig to create a machine to give him a corporeal form and that is the machine in the trailer.

That "power release" could just as easily be whatever power source SHIELD is using to bind Loki getting destroyed. In other words: yeah, jailbreak.

Good theory there, too.

 

[Xeno]

I thought that perhaps that scene showed Loki inside the SHIELD facility that was used to bring Thor back to earth. The film crew shot on location at NASA facility in Ohio that was said to double for a SHIELD research facility. Jackson, Renner, Gregg and Skarsgard were said to have been on location there. If that was the place where Selvig recreated an Einstein-Rosen bridge to retrieve Thor, Loki could have decided to take advantage of it to come to earth. He knows that SHIELD has the Cube, was in telepathic contact with Selvig and thus may have chosen then to reveal himself. Getting taken into SHIELD custody there would get Loki onto the Helicarrier and thus within striking distance of the Cube.

That's just spec, but it will be fun to see how the scenario plays out.

Thats basicly what I'm saying, this is the device he uses to get to earth! Thanks for that

Right on! Bingo! Thats what I've been saying! You are a smart one! Thanks for saying it better

I thought that room appeared more alien in designt o me...

Wouldn't SHIELD have access to alien technologies? I'm pretty sure things like Area 51 and reverse engineering exist in the Marvel universe.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I honestly didn't think of any other way because I always assumed he was trapped in Selvig's mind, anyway (not unlike Red skull being trapped in Lukin's in the books).

Loki has a lair in this film .... they shot it in Detroit.

That begs the question: why is Loki possessing Selvig, anyway?

I always wondered about that. If Loki is "elsewhere," out in space or somewhere, and he's somehow able to use a mortal's mind as a monitor and/or gateway to events on good ol' Midgard, then why would he single out Selvig specifically? By extension, was his discovery that the Cube is in SHIELD's possession just coincidental to Loki's control of Selvig, or was Loki specifically looking for the Cube and he happened to parasite onto Selvig as a guy close to that device?
