The next Avenger to make it to the big screen will be Thor, and the first official trailer for the soon to be blockbuster has debuted. Earlier this year, a lengthier trailer was leaked following Comic-Con, but this is the first authorized clip of the upcoming film.

Thor stars Chris Hemsworth (Star Trek, the upcoming Red Dawn) and Natalie Portman, and it pits the thunder god against his adopted brother Loki. The movie will join the Iron Man films, as well as the upcoming Captain America: The First Avenger as the building blocks of 2012’s The Avengers, directed by Joss Whedon.

Thor debuts in select countries on April 27, 2011, and is released in 3D on May 6.
