The post credits clip on Thor is supposed to set up the bad guy for the Avengers movie.  I sincerely hope it is not as I found it incredibly underwhelming.

I didn't understand what the hell was going on. And I sat through probably ten minutes of credits to get to it.

Do any learned comic fans out there know what the thing in the suitcase was and why Loki seemed to control Stellan Skarsgard?

If only there was a site where I could go to find these things out...

It's called the Cosmic Cube but that is all I know about it, but you can read about it here.
Also apparently Hugo Weaving has one.

They reveal the cosmic cube which allows the user to basically reshape reality as he/she sees fit. The CC will also be in Captain America since Skull loves him some Cosmic Cube. 

Loki controlling skarsgard makes sense he will be looking to go back to Asgard. Loki in the comics is the reason the Avengers are formed.

How The Avengers formed in the comics [wikipedia.org]:    

The first adventure features the Asgardian trickster god Loki, who seeks revenge against his adopted brother Thor. Using an illusion, Loki tricks the Hulk into destroying a railroad track. He then diverts a radio call by Rick Jones for help to Thor, whom Loki hopes will battle the Hulk. Unknown to Loki, the radio call is also answered by Ant-Man, the Wasp and Iron Man. After an initial misunderstanding, the heroes unite and defeat Loki after Thor is lured away by an illusion of the Hulk and suspects Loki when he realises it is an illusion. Ant-Man states the five work well together and suggests they form a combined team—with the Wasp naming the group "the Avengers" because it sounded "dramatic".

Obviously it won't be exactly the same in the film, but it looks a bit like Loki will still be the villain. I'm wondering whether or not the Hulk will become a villain too. Ant-Man and the Wasp won't be in the film, and it seems that S.H.I.E.L.D are building the team, rather than the group coming together almost by accident.
