So is the trailer implying that there are 2 parallel universes, one which is magical and one urban like ours and somehow they intertwine so that there are now magical beings on Earth?
Also I noticed the secret agent guy from the

Iron Man series. Does this movie imply he found a hammer at the end of Iron Man 2?
Sort of.It's based on Norse mythology where the Universe consisted of nine home worlds or heims ,created by the coming together of fire and ice and joined by the world tree Yggdrasill
The three worlds above the earth, in heaven: Muspelheim (land of the fire ),Afheim (land of ice) , Asgard (realm of the Gods -Home of Thor, he being Odin's son and the God of thunder .Also contains Valhalla - the abode of dead heroes)
The three worlds on earth: Vanaheim (land of the Vanir,erstwhile elves - also sometimes connected to heaven . Norse mythology isn't very precise) ,Midgard (humans) ,Jotunheim( home of giants)
and the three of the underworld/dead : Svartalfheim (fire) , Hel ( where warriors who do not die a heroic death go), Niflheim (cold)
In the mythology ( as the movie) Thor is tricked by Loki his half-brother and loses his magic hammer .In the comics ( and the movie) this results in his banishment from "heaven" to Earth.
In the mythology I don't think he was cast from Asgard but he was severely pissed off and ended up killing just about anyone involved.
Btw you might notice some similarities to Tolkien in all this.
And yes they hope for an all uniting Avengers movie ( Sam Jackson being Nick Fury :agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.) to come together soon.
