4. The Guardians Of The Galaxy
I've already referred to the spaceship in the trailer that may well turn out to belong to the Guardians of the Galaxy, but wouldn't it be awesome if - during the film's journey around the nine realms - Thor and company run in to them and ask for their help in their ultimate battle? It would make for a seamless link in to the 2014
Guardians of the Galaxy film, introduce the characters to those unfamiliar with them and provide some epic action. The fact that
Thor: The Dark World is set to cover more of the nine realms makes incorporating the Guardians of the Galaxy that much easier, given that the characters are more likely to cross each other's paths as they traverse through space. It would certainly aid Thor and his friends in their battle against Malekith's army (or indeed anyone else) if they had these cosmic warriors fighting by their side.
