New Thor: The Dark World trailer shows Thor battling what appears to be a Kronan. Long time fans will recognize the Kronans from Thor's first appearance in Tales to Astonish. They reappeared more recently in Planet Hulk and World War Hulk. I like how they seem to be digging up older concepts to put in this new movie, and leaning more heavily on the actual Norse mythology, bringing in the Dark Elves. Also, take a look in the background when they show Loki in the Asgardian prison, and you'll notice someone in the other cell wearing a horned helmet. The first person I thought of was Kurse, also known as Algrim the Strong, another Dark Elf, and already confirmed for as a secondary antagonist to Malekith the Dark Elf.  In addition, we know that the characters from the first movie will be back, and the trailers thus far have hinted at a partnership between Thor and his imprisoned half-brother Loki. Thor indicates that Loki may be the only person with knowledge about the returning threat of the Dark Elves. Catch Thor: The Dark World in theaters November 8, 2013.
