Iron Man 2 is one of the most highly anticipated home releases of the year. Dozens of extra features and extended scenes guarantee that every fan will want to get their hands on it once available in stores. If the already revealed extras aren't enough to pique your interest, this may do the trick: The Thor movie compilation and Captain America teaser trailer will both be included in the sequel's 2-disc Special Edition Blu-Ray.

Unfortunately, they won't be easy to find. The features will be "hidden" in a special S.H.I.E.L.D. Data Vault (an obvious nod to the infamous S.H.I.E.L.D. prison of the same name). I have it on good authority that the Thor footage included on the Blu-Ray disc will be finalized with full effects and CG. There is some bad news, though; the Captain America teaser may not reveal Chris Evans in his movie costume. Since these features have to be added to the disc docket before it's ready for mass production, a decision of how much will be revealed has to be made within the next few days.

No confirmation whether these features will also be included on the DVD release or other, limited edition releases. The Iron Man 2 Blu-Ray hits shelves September 2010.

Idris Elba, who can be seen in Takers this weekend, talked to USA Weekend about playing Heimdall in Thor and mentioned how many Marvel Studios movies he's committed to appearing in:

You just finished your stint filming Thor as the Asgardian warrior Heimdall. How was that?

It was dope. It was an interesting genre of film to make. I had never done comic book stuff, so that was really great.

What was the coolest part?

Just the bigness of the show. It?s so epic, these huge sets were just amazing to look at. And they really pay attention to detail. When you read the comics, you see all the drawings, and to actually see them in real life, it?s like, ?Whoa!?

Do you see yourself doing another superhero character or are you good with the crime dramas?

I have a deal with the Marvel Studios team, a four-picture commitment. I?m sure I?ll be back in something cool.

Thor is coming to 3D and 2D theaters on May 6, 2011.

Bit of a long shot, but a Luke Cage movie possibly?

J. Michael Straczynyski reveals his cameo in the movie, which is a little beyond the ordinary walk-on by a comics writer in one of these movies. As he explains, he actually gets to recreate an iconic Thor moment that he himself wrote. He plays a passing driver who tries to pick up Thor's hammer, which has just landed on Earth. He utterly fails to pick the thing up, and then he calls upon his friends to help him move it. [ComicBookMovie]

The first look at one of Thor's Frost Giants is now available below, courtesy of Marvelous News.

The figure, which was spotted on eBay from seller Keithadam, is part of the film's 3.75" inch line, though the giant is noticeably a bit taller, nearly a head so more than the other characters in the line (he's pictured standing between Odin and Loki). Whether or not this relative scale carries over into the the film has yet to be confirmed, but the chilly look and the ice weapons no doubt provide a strong frame of reference for what we'll be seeing on the big screen next summer.

Thor is scheduled for release on May 6, 2011.

While Paramount used 'Entertainment Tonight' to debut the first official teaser for Transformers: Dark of the Moon, it seems they're going another route for the much-anticipated THOR movie.

Various sources, one of which is a notable news provider Gregory Littley, says "Yahoo will release the new #Thor trailer on Friday (dec 10th) morning. Further backing that statement, I learned from another source, whose theater received the trailer today only to be shown in front of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which also hits theaters this Friday.

A few tidbits from another sources says we'll see more of the Destroyer in action, much-improved scenes from the San Diego Comic-Con footage, and more in the two-minute and twenty-four second teaser.

While we have to wait only 48 hours for the teaser, expect a description tomorrow. And starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgard, Ray Stevenson, and Kat Dennings, THOR storms into theaters May 6, in 3D

ComicBookMovie offers the following trailer description:
?The trailer has much of the footage from that leaked reel we saw floating around after SDCC with SHIELD Agent [Coulson] questioning the man who took apart his men as if they were second rate security guards with images of him doing the deed flashing about. ?Where were you trained?? We flash to Asgard where Thor is getting a tongue lashing from his father Odin who calls him a boy and remarks that he has brought war to their peaceful land. Flash to a pack of bad ass looking Frost Giants on the march. Flash back and Loki attempts to lodge a protest to Thor?s punishment but Dad won?t hear it. The sentence is passed and we flash to Natalie Portman AKA Jane Foster showing concern and then to Thor, flat on his back, who says something like ?Nooo?I?m on Earth, aren?t I? with disdain in his voice. Idris Elba as Heimdall gets a fair amount of flash time as well, though it?s nothing but him making faces and such. We also see a couple of Asgardian ladies, one of which being Jaimie Alexander as Sif. Some quick Frost Giant battle rounds out the excitement, some explosions go off and we see [Destroyer] is causing chaos in the middle of it all. So that?s about it! You?ll mainly want to see this in 3D and of course?FROST GIANT RAMPAGE!!?

    • I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.
    • This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
