Thor: The Dark World Trailer - 5 Questions We Want Answered

5. What's Up With The Psychic Children & Levitating Lorry?

Screen shot 2013-04-23 at 09.49.58 Somewhat unexpectedly, The Dark World trailer opens with a couple of vague shots of children wielding supposed psychic abilities like it's nobody's business. Why is that little kid suspending a lorry in the air? Who's the girl? Where do these two fit into the story on the whole? I certainly didn't see them again during any other part of the trailer (if you've spotted the word "Norman Emerson" on the front of lorry and thought "a clue!," I can assure you that it's just name of a construction company). Basically, then, I'm really not sure what's going on during this part of the movie, but I'm definitely intrigued to find out how these characters are going to collide with Thor and the gang. We've got Anthony Hopkins' Odin (Thor's dad, for the newbies out there) narrating over this part, too: "Some believe that before the universe, there was nothing. They're wrong. There was darkness." Not sure what the implications of that are, either, but it absolutely pins this story as an epic one.
