QuoteEXCLUSIVE: Marvel Studios, which is in production on the Joss Whedon-directed The Avengers, is making a full commitment to Thor 2, with Chris Hemsworth reprising his role as the title hero. Marvel will need to hire a director for that film because, I've learned, Kenneth Branagh won't be returning as helmer. Branagh, who directed the first film and watched it gross $437 million worldwide with a few territories still playing out, will likely be involved in some producing capacity. His exit was "mutual and amicable," I'm told. That means a big job is out there that a lot of directors and their agents will be chasing over the upcoming holiday.

Disney will today finalize a release date for Thor 2, which will be released sometime in the summer, 2013. Disney and Marvel have already slotted the Robert Downey Jr-starrer Iron Man 3 to open May 3, 2013. So figure that Thor 2 will come later in the summer. Developing...

Payne rewrote Lobo for Warner Bros, and was one of the writers on Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer. His superhero experience started with My Super Ex-Girlfriend. Payne's also co-executive producer on The Simpsons, so there might be a laugh or two in between intergalactic mayhem.

QuoteThe last time we checked in on "Thor 2," it seemed as though Marvel had found its Kenneth Branagh successor in "Game Of Thrones" director Brian Kirk. As intriguing as that prospect is, it might not be the case. Yet.

When MTV News caught up with "Thor" and "Avengers" star Tom Hiddleston yesterday to talk about the "Thor" Blu-ray release (out September 13), I asked if he'd had any interaction with Kirk, and he revealed that the "Thor 2" director's chair has not officially been filled.

"I haven't. I also don't know that that's actually confirmed," he said. "That's not me being coy. I spoke to Kevin Feige last week on ["The Avengers"] set and he said, 'Oh no, we haven't got anyone yet. We're thinking about people,'" Hiddleston recalled. "I think [Kirk's] name is definitely in the hat, but I don't think anything is solid."

So when do they plan on shooting the sequel?

"I think probably next spring is the idea because the release date is locked down," he said, adding that the storyline for the film will still likely pick-up from where "The Avengers" leaves off.

Speaking of which, given what we know about Loki's shenanigans in the ensemble film, we asked Hiddleston how different the Asgardian prince will be from who he was in "Thor" to who he becomes in "Thor 2."

"In 'The Avengers' he's really dark and kind of sociopathic, or maybe even psychopathic is the word, in a deluded way," he explained. "Obviously I haven't let go of the spiritual damage at the heart of him, it still comes from that lost place, but he's just incredibly nasty. I think that probably in 'Thor 2' his previous actions will, he'll have to take responsibility for what he's done."

"The great thing about Loki is there is potential in him for greatness and awfulness, for great heroism and great villainy," Hiddleston continued. "There are still, even within 'The Avengers,' there are moments where you see within Loki a glimmer of hope and that possibility of redemption."

He went on to say that the grey area in the degree of Loki's villainy makes the acting a lot more fun.

"It makes it fun to play and it makes it fun for the audience," he said. "Nobody is black and white, there are shades of grey in all of us. We all have potential for greatness and we all have flaws. I for one am championing the redemption," he added hopefully, along with a wish for a future Thor and Loki action scene: "This isn't definitely going to happen, but I think there would be nothing more awesome than seeing Loki and Thor fight somebody side by side."

So Loki doesn't die/go away for a while at the end of The Avengers. Interesting. :)

QuoteEXCLUSIVE: Marvel Studios is getting close to naming a director for Thor 2, and I'm hearing they might go with a surprise: Patty Jenkins, best known for directing Charlize Theron to an Oscar in Monster, and also for directing the superb pilot for AMC's The Killing. This would be a real surprise, because women directors aren't usually high on the list for superhero movies. Let's see how this plays out, but it looks pretty serious. Kenneth Branagh directed the original.

This is all expected to happen soon. Marvel and Disney have set a July 26, 2013 release date for the sequel, which brings back Chris Hemsworth as the hammer-wielding superhero, and Thor co-writer Don Payne is writing the script. The original grossed $448 million worldwide and launched the star of Hemsworth, who is currently playing the latter title role opposite Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron in Snow White and the Huntsman for Universal.

QuoteMarvel Studios president Kevin Feige recently told EW that plans were developing fast for the sequel, which he said would "take Thor literally to other worlds." While moviegoers will next see Chris Hemsworth as the hammer-swinging hero in The Avengers next May, Thor 2 would "primarily be the journey of that character, of he and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) and how the new dynamic with his father (Odin, played by Anthony Hopkins) is working out, as well as what are the broader stakes for The Nine Worlds," Feige said.

QuoteBrian Kirk, whose credits include HBO's "Game of Thrones," had been the front runner for "Thor 2" but ultimately ended up moving on to other projects.

A number of other helmers have been considered for the "Thor" sequel, including Drew Goddard ("Cabin in the Woods"), James McTeigue ("Ninja Assassin"), Noam Murro ("300: Battle of Artemesia") and Breck Eisner ("The Crazies")."

QuoteIt's easy for us to get caught up in the endless photos/videos from the set of The Avengers, but Marvel has a broad slate of standalone superhero movies to worry about.  The first two post-Avengers are Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 in the summer 2013.  Robert Downey Jr. shared his intentions for Iron Man last month, and today Marvel president Kevin Feige revealed their plans for the Thor sequel to EW:

Quote"[Thor 2 will] primarily be the journey of that character, of he and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) and how the new dynamic with his father is working out, as well as what are the broader stakes for The Nine Worlds."

On that last point, Feige promises the script by Don Payne "take Thor literally to other worlds."  Hit the jump for more on The Nine Worlds.

QuoteAlfheim – Home of the Light Elves (Ljósálfar). Alfheim is a distinct region on the Asgard planetoid.
        Asgard – Home of the Asgardians. Asgard is the name of the planetoid, a distinct region on the planetoid and its capital city.
        Hel – Realm of the dead who are neither honored nor dishonored. It is ruled by Hela.
        Jotunheim – Home of the Giants (Jötunn).
        Midgard – Midgard is the Earthly plane of existence. Although technically not a part of the Asgardian dimension, it is considered one of the Nine Worlds by the Asgardians because of its significant connections to Asgard.
        Muspelheim – Home of the Demons. It is ruled by Surtur.
        Nidavellir – Home of the Dwarves. Nidavellir is a distinct region on the Asgard planetoid.
        Svartalfheim – Home of the Dark Elves (Svartálfar).
        Vanaheim – Home of the Vanir who are the sister race of the Asgardians. Vanaheim is a distinct region on the Asgard planetoid.

Thor was a lot of fun, but it was lacking in a) scope and b) the relationship between Thor and Jane.  I don't know that more is automatically better in this case, but visiting more of The Nine Worlds is a laudable attempt to address part a).  And I appreciate that Jane Foster is at the forefront of Feige's mind when he talks about the sequel.  The latest news says Patty Jenkins is the frontrunner for the director's chair—ideally, the female perspective would add to Jane's character.  More importantly, though, Jenkins is more than qualified regardless of gender based on her most recent work: The Killing pilot.

QuoteMarvel may be making a welcome move when it comes to choosing a director for Thor 2.  Deadline reports that the studio is seriously considering Monster director Patty Jenkins to take the reigns of the superhero sequel.  If Jenkins got the gig, she would be not only the first female director to helm a major superhero movie (no offense to Lexi Alexander who did a great job with Punisher: War Zone, but it was a small-scale superhero flick), but one of the few women put in charge of a summer blockbuster.  While I don't think Monster is anything special beyond Charlize Theron's performance, Jenkins did a great job setting the grey, dreary mood for the pilot of AMC's The Killing (it was the story that zoned me out of that show).  The question is how much room she'll have to redefine the distinctive look Kenneth Branagh established for Thor's universe.

It's worth mentioning that last month we reported that Brian Kirk (Game of Thrones) was also being considered, so it definitely looks like Marvel is pulling from the small screen to find its director.  Either way, we should expect an announcement soon.  Thor 2 is set to open July 26, 2013. [Update: Variety confirms that Jenkins is in early talks to direct.  The story adds that Kirk decided not to take the gig "due to creative and financial sticking point" and that Drew Goddard (Cabin in the Woods), James McTeigue (Ninja Assassin), Noam Murro (300: Battle of Artemesia) and Breck Eisner (The Crazies) were all considered for the job]

QuoteThe rumor mill has been abuzz this past week that Marvel Studios might pick Patty Jenkins, whose serial killer Aileen Wuornos film Monster won Charlize Theron an Oscar, to direct Thor 2. So when we ran into Jenkins at the premiere of Five at Skylight Soho on Monday, we asked her if Thor 2 was really next on her slate. "I can't say, but yes," she laughed. "I can't say anything definitive, but it's exciting to be in talks with them about it." Jenkins understands she's an unusual choice for the project — she hasn't worked with big special effects before. "I think Marvel is really ballsy to think outside the box," she said. "And I think everyone they've talked to and hired has been interesting." While the deal is still being sorted out, she's prepping for the gig, surreptitiously. When asked what she was reading, comics- and graphic-novel-wise, she said, "Right now, I'm reading all of ... I can't say."

Quote"She has a great take on the story and a solid grasp on that kind of universe,"

"Branagh read every comic book he could get his hands on," Hemsworth said. "She also looked like she had done her homework."

QuoteOn Whether Or Not He'll Be Back As Fandral For THOR 2:

We are! We are planning a return to Asgard, next year. Thor 2 is happening. A great director called Patty Jenkins is directing the sequel. Ken [Branagh] is not directing, which is obviously a huge shame, because he came in and created that world and created the language and the look of the whole thing. But he's kind of set it all up for us and I think he's staying on as a producer. But yeah, there's going to be some more adventures in the Nine Realms.

On Whether Or Not He's Spoken To Patty About The Movie Yet:

I haven't yet, no. But apparently Marvel are in love with her and I'm sure she is going to be a really exciting and interesting choice. She's done some great work before. Marvel always have a really good idea for those directors that are going to come in and they may seem out of left field, but they always have a plan and they're always really smart. And that's what's so great about working for Marvel, because not only are they movie producers and they make these great movies, but they're comic book guys and they love it and they love the characters and they love the stories.

On His Excitement For THOR 2 And Living Up To Fan Expectations:

They've read these comic books since they were children, so they're very attached. They're very attached to these characters and they're very protective of them. So as an actor coming in, you feel that and you know that. And that's what's also exciting about being a part of projects like that, that people are so excited about seeing it before it even comes out, before it's even done. That's really unique and special as an actor, to be part of projects like that. You're like, "I'm playing these characters... I hope I get it right! I hope someone doesn't go, 'You destroyed my childhood!' or whatever." But the great thing about Marvel is that because they're comic book guys and they love it as much as everybody else does, you feel totally supported coming into that, so it's exciting.

QuoteDisney has also moved Thor 2 from its July 13, 2013 and back to November 15, 2013.

QuoteMarvel Studios announced today that Patty Jenkins will direct THOR 2, which will be released in theatres on Friday, November 15, 2013. Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman will return to star in the film along with Tom Hiddleston. Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige will produce the sequel to this summer's blockbuster THOR, which has grossed over $448 million worldwide to date.

Patty Jenkins previously directed MONSTER starring Charlize Theron, who won an Academy Award® for her performance in the film. Jenkins, who received an Emmy nomination for directing the pilot of AMC's acclaimed series The Killing, has also directed episodes of Entourage and Arrested Development. Most recently, she directed "Pearl," one of the five short films that comprise Lifetime's original movie FIVE.

In addition to THOR 2, Marvel Studios is currently scheduled to release MARVEL'S THE AVENGERS on May 4, 2012, and IRON MAN 3 which is slated for release on May 3, 2013.

Jenkins is represented by CAA, Anonymous Content, and Alan Wertheimer

Quote"[She is] an absolutely amazing director" and that 'Monster' is "one of my favorite films. I'm so excited that Marvel has given the reigns to a director who has such of an incredible grasp of story, performance and complexity. I think her handling of the characters and the arc of the story in 'Monster' and what the story is about on the whole is really, really fascinating. I'm sure it's going to take us on another adventure somewhere that's entertaining and funny in some capacity, and the fact that Patty is at the helm is really, really exciting."

Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Oct 16, 2011, 03:17:17 PMHiddleson is really into his character. I'm really enjoying reading everything he says.

Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Oct 16, 2011, 03:17:17 PMI'm going to try to see Monster soon, since I've never seen it, and I want to see something by her before the movie comes out. This movie should be really interesting, especially after seeing Thor a few times snow.

Quote"She's amazing," Hiddleston told MTV News recently. "I actually had dinner with her earlier this week and she's sensational, a really amazing woman and quite clearly an amazing director."

"'Monster' is one of my favorite films. Weirdly enough, you won't believe me, but this is God's honest truth, before I started shooting 'Thor,' Ken Branagh gave me two films to watch. He said, 'Listen, this is sort of not related, but I want a quality of vulnerability from your performance, which is similar to these two things.' One of them was Peter O'Toole's performance in 'The Lion In Winter' and the second was Charlize Theron's performance in 'Monster.'"

Hiddleson explained that Branagh wanted Loki to have a rawness similar to Theron's portrayal of Aileen Wuornos.

"I told Patty that and she said, 'That's amazing.' It's almost like things come full circle," Hiddleston said. "She clearly has an incredible grasp of story and character and a very powerful emotional engine behind her, which I think is what we need."

"What happens in 'Thor 2' has to evolve after what's happened in 'The Avengers,' so I'd say he takes a pretty good hiding from Odin when he gets back home, but I honestly don't know at this point," he said. "The thing about Patty is she has an innate courage and complete understanding of the muscularity of a character like Thor, but also a sensitivity and a nobility and things like 'Monster' and 'The Killing' which she directed, don't shy away from darkness, they don't shy away from murkier aspects of human nature and I think her fearlessness about all that will make 'Thor 2' quite interesting."

Quote"We haven't spoken, we've exchanged letters, really just saying "well done" and "how thrilling." I think it's a great choice and I'm really excited about that, and I think Marvel have always been so imaginative about the way they match these projects with directors who may have very particular things to bring to them but may not be superficially a natural kind of fit. But my gut tells me this is a tremendous choice, so I'm very excited. I'm also thrilled that the second movie is being made, and I just think her in combination with those actors is such a terrific thing. And I think she'll get on in the way that I did with the Marvel guys, which was a very happy, creative collaboration."

Quote from: AvatarIII on Dec 07, 2011, 03:07:49 PM
His run of X-Men was considered one of the best, and he has 15 years experience in bringing cult favourites and ensemble pieces to the screen, i have full hope in him, and if it goes well, the fact he wrote Alien: Resurrection will be forgiven.

Quote"I have had a great time working at Marvel. We parted on very good terms, and I look forward to working with them again. I have a long love of superhero films and I'd been saying over and over again to my agents at CAA that I'd like to do one. The Marvel guys are so brave in terms of who they choose overall, and I don't think they had any pause about me being a woman."

QuoteMarvel Studios is wasting no time in getting Thor 2 back on track after shocking Hollywood by parting ways with director Patty Jenkins on Tuesday.

Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the company is looking at two director prospects: Alan Taylor and Daniel Minahan.

Taylor's most well-known feature may be 1996's Palookaville, but he has become a huge cable TV helmer, directing episodes of HBO's Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire and The Sopranos and AMC's Mad Men, among others. He also directed the pilot for NBC's Playboy Club.

Minahan also is a big name in the TV world, working on Game of Thrones, True Blood, Deadwood and Grey's Anatomy.

Marvel was also in the middle of hiring a writer when the Jenkins exit occurred. Don Payne had written a draft and Sheldon Turner was among those being discussed to work on the script, but the new shortlist of possible writers consists of John Collee, whose credits include Happy Feet and Master and Commander: Far Side of the World, Robert Rodat, the scribe who created the TNT show Falling Skies and wrote Saving Private Ryan, and Roger Avary, best known for sharing an Oscar with Quentin Tarantino for writing Pulp Fiction.

Jenkins beat out several other contenders for the Thor 2 directing gig when Marvel announced her as its choice in mid-October. The move put the helmer on track to be the first female director of a Marvel movie and perhaps the only one to ever direct a big-budget superhero or comic book movie. That changed when word broke on Tuesday that she and Marvel were going their separate ways over the standard excuse of "creative differences."

Marvel may be moving fast on the sequel to this past summer's hit, but it does have some time on its side: Thor 2 is slated for a Nov. 15, 2013 release.

Marvel declined to comment.

Cool. I liked him in the first movie. Guess he won't be dieing in The Avengers. I wonder how Joss will fulfill his need for death then :P

He wasn't in the comics, right?

Quote"I have read a script and we start shooting in August. I met with Alan Taylor a couple of months ago and Natalie Portman and I and Alan and a couple of Marvel guys and it was hugely exciting. Ken [Branagh] did such a wonderful job and, with scheduling or what have you, he didn't end up doing this one, but I'm a big fan of the GAME OF THRONES series, which is Alan's latest work, and I think that is what's exciting about the second one: making it sort of more tangible and having a more organic feel to Asgard and that world. I think the science fiction element to THOR... the danger is it falls a little bit into the world of it's "tough to throw a light to." I think of big waterfalls and mountains and a Viking influence, where the Norse mythology kind of grew from. Having that in Asgard is going to make it all the more special and that's what Alan wants to bring to it. I think that would be the new aspect to this one."

I would love for Alan Taylor to bring some of Game of Thrones into this. And Chris is right. Asgard was vast in the first movie, with the city only being a part of it. There were mountains and forests surrounding it. I would love for them to explore those areas a bit.

QuoteChris Hemsworth had this to say about the direction he's hoping Alan Taylor will take the sequel. "['Game of Thrones'] had a real mythical element to it, but it was rooted in such an organic and tangible world. I think Asgard could really benefit from that sort of a grittier, aged feel to it and not so ethereal."

As for where the sequel will take Thor, Hemsworth is hoping to take the God of Thunder even further afield that Asgard and Earth. "The big thing about the comics for me was the origin story. Thor was interesting, but what I found more fascinating was the other worlds and realms that you can be taken off into." When asked about whether we'll see even more otherworldly locations, he added, "I think so. I haven't seen the script yet, but hopefully. There are so many other universes out there and realms in the comics that they explored. I think definitely we'll venture into them."

Quote"I'd like to take him to his absolute rock bottom," adds Tom Hiddleston on Loki's role in the sequel. "I'd like to see him yield essentially to his darkest instincts an then having hit rock bottom, maybe come back up. The fascination for me about playing Loki is that in the history of the mythology in the comic books and Scandinavian myths, he's contantl dancing on this fault line of the dark side and redemption. I don't know when, byut it would be fun to see him see the light again and be recruited to the good side."

Well, there is the deleted scene where Loki tricked Volstagg into thinking Thor's helmet was a chamber pot*. They cleaned it really well after, but I'm sure Thor just can't bring himself to wear it again.


















*This scene doesn't exist. It's a joke.

Some info from Kevin Feige.

http://collider.com/kevin-feige-thor-2-iron-man-3-avengers-sequel-interview/158942/ (http://collider.com/kevin-feige-thor-2-iron-man-3-avengers-sequel-interview/158942/)

Put in a spoiler tag because of a very small spoiler from The Avengers.

Spoiler

QuoteHow are the events of The Avengers go into the sequel of Thor? I'm assuming that's being put together or you guys are thinking about it now.

Feige: We start filming in three months, it's well underway. Look, the way The Avengers is constructed, not a lot of time passes over the course of the movie and whether it's Cap or Thor on the ground in the States here in modern day, they don't have a lot of time to deal to deal with their own stories, they've gotta deal with the stories of The Avengers. So while the relationship between Loki and Thor certainly has changed and has progressed, a lot of Thor 2 is picking up where it left off in terms of Jane, who you just saw for a moment on a computer monitor, and also what's been going on in the nine realms without the Asgardians being able to use the Bifrost? I will just say it's not good.

Are you filming that in North Carolina as well?

Feige: No that's in London.

I'm assuming most of the cast is coming back?

Feige: All of the cast is coming back.

I'm assuming you've figured out the villain. Is Loki a big part, is he a minor part?

Feige: Loki has a part, but there will be a different villain, another big villain. But you can't do a Thor movie without Loki.

Are we going to see Odin's vault again? Is anything missing out of the vault or is anyone going after something in the vault?

Feige: You know, it remains to be seen. Whether it's specifically that or along those same lines, the darn thing about the nine realms is that there are a lot of relics. Whether it's a Casket of Ancient Winters or a Tesseract or something else, they wreak a lot of havoc.

How has Thor's growth into a man shaping what you wanna do in the sequel, in terms of him being an adult?

Feige: Well it's sort of the crux of the whole sequel and it's what Hemsworth is most excited about diving into, and it's what is the heart of story; it's Thor and Jane, to continue that dynamic. Really they were only together for three days, and do they love each other? Do they like each other? Do they know each other? We're acknowledging that that love story in the first movie was sort of a quick crush, essentially, over the course of three quick days in the middle of the desert. And [the heart of the movie is also] the relationship between Thor and Odin, which does change drastically as it did over the course of the first movie, and picks up and continues from there.

[close]

Quote from: Ruadh on May 10, 2012, 09:28:02 PM
Maybe Enchantress? Would throw a little wrench in the Jane thing.

Also, I suspect...and sorry if I mentioned it before, but I suspect Thor 2 will be the reverse of Thor, where it's Jane (with Erik and Darcy probably) who are the fish out of water as they are yanked into some adventure throughout the realms with Thor.

I admit I don't know THAT many Thor villains...the only ones I can name are Loki, Enchantress, the Executioner...and I guess Beta Ray Bill, though I know he isn't really one. Was he at first?

Also would love to see someone like Ares.

If they do a Thor on Earth movie, the Wrecking Crew, would make sense as a good group of villains (common crooks and thugs who are endowed with Asgardian power accidentally) also make sense as a reason for Thor to come back to Earth.

Quote from: AvatarIII on May 22, 2012, 07:37:59 PM
I heard it somewhere and it stuck with me, you don't hire an actress if that calibre to be a love interest, you could say they they did with Pepper Potts, but she's a bit more than just a love interest, so by that logic, so should Portman be.

Quote"Alan Taylor is directing, and he's one of the producers and directors of 'Game of Thrones.' I love that sort of mythical element, that there was an organic real world there, and I think Asgard and Thor's ethereal universe could be injected with that," Chris Hemsworth told MTV Splash Page in a recent interview while promoting his next movie Snow White and the Huntsman. "It could be more sort of tangible. So more locations, less green screen. I think the Viking influence that that sort of world came from. It should feel [tangible]. It should exist more, instead of too shiny, clean, golden."

Despite the fact that filming begins in the next month or two, the actor reveals that he's yet to see the script ("Marvel has a habit of, the day before we shoot, handing us the script and saying, 'Quick, learn your lines!'") but promises that we will see the God of Thunder back on Earth. "You've always got to tie in Earth, I think. But Thor in the comic books, I found, that after the initial kind of establishing the character got more interesting because there were so many realms and things to explore."

Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on May 24, 2012, 12:56:53 PMReally liking the direction that this is heading. I can't wait to see more of Asgard and the other realms!

Quote"We're going to see the other side of Asgard. It's not all polished and golden in this film. And the events of Avengers will have affected Thor for sure. His relationship with Loki will continue to evolve, and the biggest part is Natalie and Thor returning with Jane Foster."

Quote"No, future, future. But there will be a major new villain. A major, major new antagonist..."

QuoteHC: "Thor 2″ is around the corner. Are you excited to work with "Game of Thrones" director Alan Taylor?

CH: Yeah, yeah, actually my wife got me into "Game of Thrones," and we started sort of on the Internet watching them every week and became obsessed with them. And then I was given the whole series because Alan was meeting to do "Thor 2." What I loved is [that the show] had a sort of mythical element to it, yet it was grounded in a really organic reality. And that's what I think would be nice about "Thor 2″ — if there were more sort of tangible environments to be involved in. The first "Thor" was sort of science-fiction, and there were a lot of sets and things. It would be nice to kind of have Asgard as somewhat relatable and have big waterfalls and cliffs and mountains, and then have in the distance maybe several moons or suns or some sort of science-fiction element. But I think as an audience, it's much easier to be drawn in if it's something you feel a part of.

HC: You've been with this character for a while now. How have you developed Thor since the first film? What changes did you make for "The Avengers"?

CH: Look, obviously I didn't write the script. Joss did. But one of my earlier conversations was what worked so well in "Thor" was, I think, the naïveté of that character. That's where the humor played so well. But we left the film with a maturity to him, so we couldn't have that same attitude with things. It was the "Crocodile Dundee" kind of thing. You know, a fish out of water, and that's where the comedy was, but we couldn't redo that. And also the concern that "Thor 2″ was going to come, but how do we not take away from that story line and have a diversion here. I think [Joss] did a great job of giving "Thor" a very personal objective — it's his brother caught in chaos — and a nice kind of segue through the Jane Foster/ Natalie Portman's character — she had to be put aside for this story because it was too dangerous, which works, 'cause now we can pick that up in our sequel. But it was kind of like the maturity he learned from the first film was now put to the test in this one. He might have once upon a time wanted to come and tear his brother's head off or tear everyone else's head off, you know, that barbaric kind of rage, but he had to temper that and show some maturity.

HC: Like his father.

CH: Yeah, that's the objective. That's who he's sort of hoping to be.

HC: What did you learn from "The Avengers" and "Thor" that you were able to bring to "Snow White and the Huntsman"?

CH: I remember years ago, an acting teacher said to me, "Vulnerability is such a great asset on screen." And I think in life, too. Vulnerability, it's the heart of the truth of who we are. The vulnerability of you doubting something, it's usually based around a fear of showing who you truly really are. You put on some sort of bravado or mask or something, and there was a vulnerability to Thor, but also an incredible sort of strength. And any time you thought the character fell into an arrogant sort of world, hopefully you empathized with him because, you know, there was something he was quite uncertain about. And the Huntsman, he was a pretty damaged character. He doesn't start out as a hero or privileged by any means; he's the drunken brawler and mercenary. And it was nice to have that more grounded in reality, that character. His wounds or vulnerability were nice to sort of contrast with also a strength and a humor.

Quote"I'll be missing out on wearing all that hair! The timing wasn't right. I'm bummed about it because I had such a great experience and great time making the first film and was really excited about coming back. Marvel and Disney tried to make it work. But because of my commitment to Once Upon a Time, I was not going to be able to do both. So I'll have to hand the reins over to someone else. I love Marvel. I wish them all the best. I will certainly be first in line to see it. On the other hand, I'm going back to the best job on TV. I love it and can't wait to delve in more."

I actually liked the Darcy character. Particularly her constantly evolving mispronunciations of Mjölnir.  :laugh: Though a long shot, I'd like to see her in future Thor/Marvel films as well.

That scene wasn't in the home video extras? Where did you hear about it Laufey?

Quote from: Laufey on Jun 28, 2012, 04:26:10 PM
And it would be awesome to see Odin or any of the other asgardians interact with regular humans. Or maybe a scene with Sif and Jane. I can't imagine Sif being too happy about this new girl that stole Thor from her.

Quote from: Laufey on Jun 28, 2012, 05:03:47 PM
No need to worry about that, from what we've heard, he'll have plenty to do in this. Facing Odin's wrath and trying to made up for his evil deeds among other things. And there have also been hints of him and Thor teaming up against the villain this time.

Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Jun 28, 2012, 04:07:24 PM
Yeah, humans on Asgard would be great to see. Flip the whole "fish out of water" aspect of the first movie around.

Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Jun 28, 2012, 06:32:22 PM
We already have a man cast as the villain though, so unless there are two villains, I don't really see that working...

Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Jun 28, 2012, 05:45:23 PM
Well, we are supposed to be seeing a bit of a darker Asgard this time around. Whether its those particular creatures or not, I would love to see some wildlife. Really liked the creature that the Frost giants had in the first movie.

Quote from: Prime113 on Jun 28, 2012, 08:10:37 PM
I think Malekith is a pretty good guess. He's a pretty consistent villain throughout the series. And, as you said SF, Mads could really pull him off.  :)

I'm sorry Xenokiller but your post showed up on my radar and has been targeted for rebuttal.

Hulk is the superhero version of the classic Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde character which is in turn symbolic of every humans struggle to suppress their animal ancestors instinct. The duality of man is as deep a character trait as one can get. That's why people like him. Because he represents wish fulfillment on a primal level.

I won't try to scientifically explain his green skin color, but it is not at all farfetched to believe that man made substances can alter the physical size and strength of the human body.  Mainly because we've been doing it for real since the 19th century. The character makes the leap effortlessly.

However ...

A talking space raccoon?

...

I have no doubt talented writers can make him funny and have him preform some amazingly cool feats in the heat of a cosmic battle. But at the end of the day ... how are we (as an audience) going to relate with a laser gun wielding critter that most of us know only from garbage can raiding, and famously rabies infected urban pests?

Maybe in an animated short before Thor 2 done in the style of the Power Puff Girls. You know? Something that will compliment the idea and give it the freedom to be 'what it is' without having the stress of being a part of a legitimately cool, money maker of a franchise. Otherwise it just feels like putting Howard the Duck in with Superman.

To be fair ... I have no idea about the character. But to take a random a Earth bound mammalian species, give him an Anthropomorphic make over, and have him trotting all over the galaxy fighting the forces of evil ... makes me ... hesitate.

What I'm really looking forward to is Tony Starks reaction to this character should they cross paths.  :laugh:

The thing is, a lot of people couldn't see Thor working in the same universe as Iron Man either, but most of them admited it worked when they saw it. Same thing could go for this one, you just have to wait and give Marvel a chance.

Quote from: Bat Chain Puller on Jul 11, 2012, 03:36:16 PM
Laufey is right.

There was an over all "Ehhhhhh how is this going to work next to Iron Man??" vibe both online and off.

This raccoon business is the same bet ... only the odds and stakes feel way out of proportion in comparison.

He loves ladies, as do I...I'm really looking forward to being able to be a completely different character. He's not British, he's Asgardian, but he speaks like he's from England [Laughs] as some of them do so that'll be fun. I hope to get to be blonde, that'll be crazy. Did you see the first Thor? The Warriors Three were in the first one, but they were just kind of in and out of a few scenes so I hope that Fandral is in a little bit more of this one. And I hope I get to kick butt with a sword and ride a horse and be charming! That's the idea anyway!"

If I remember correctly, he wasn't too fond of them using Malekith as the villain, and the new title seems to hint towards the Dark Elves. Nothing is certain at this point though. It might as well tie in to the dark magic Odin had to conjure up to get Thor to Earth in The Avengers. Maybe he made some kind of deal that will come back and bite him in the ass. :D

And I was thinking already about what the after credits scene may be, I'm gonna put in spoilers even though it's just my speculation

Spoiler

I was thinking Thor could have taken Jane back to earth at the end of the movie and as the scene starts Odin is in the odin sleep and then an alarm goes off and we find that someone(Thanos) broke into odins treasure room and stole the gauntlet and it ends, now as to how he got there imagine Loki now, he's failed Thanos and is in fear of his retribution, now he wants to make up for it and save his skin so either he steals the gauntlet and gives it to Thanos or brings Thanos to Asgard so he can steal it

[close]

Whaddya think?

Quote from: First Blood on Jul 23, 2012, 05:40:27 PMAs much as I love Loki I don't think they'll kill him yet. They may set some things up for it, but if there's a third film in the pipeline, I feel that's where it would happen. And at the end of The Avengers he returned as Thor's prisoner. So they might have a watchfull eye on him. But ya never know!

Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Jul 23, 2012, 05:44:42 PMKilling Loki could be great, depending on how its handled, but I would love to see it happen after a potential redemption. I would absolutely love to see Thor and Loki fighting side by side against a common threat, be it in this film or a future sequel.

Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Jul 23, 2012, 06:07:27 PM
Before he eventually goes out, though, I want to see just how far down the hole he can go before redeeming himself. He betrayed his family in Thor and formed an alliance with

in The Avengers, and so far he doesn't seem to really regret anything.

He seems to have a bit of mixed feeling about the whole thing, as seen in the scene on the mountain. I guess the real low would be to cause the death of someone close to him. Perhaps Odin?

QuoteI found him to be pretty smart and manipulative in The Avengers as well, its just that his emotions clouded his otherwise intelligent plans and ultimately got in the way.

Wouldn't really show any country anything except America. Nobody but SHIELD and a small town know about Thor. New York is the only place that actually knows what the Hulk is. Captain America is known by nobody except Americans, and even then just as a myth. Nobody knows about Hawkeye and Black Widow. The only person people around the world, outside America, knows anything about is Iron Man.

So really.  :-\

Quote from: BANE on Jul 23, 2012, 07:00:52 PM
Even the people on the news in America were surprised by 'Heroes in New York', with Iron Man being the only one people identified. So even in New York they knew nothing about them. So if they'd lost, how would anybody be demoralized if they have no idea who the Avengers are? Certainly China or Russia or Britain or India wouldn't know or care.

Or was his plan just to take over America?

QuoteThat's not the point. The point is that it was shown that a group of super powered people came to the defense. If Loki's plan had worked, the Avengers would have been shown, publicly, to be defeated. Having this group of super powered people taken down by Loki and his army would have taken the fight out of the world leaders and their military. It backfired. You don't need to know who Bruce Banner is to understand the big green thing fighting alien invaders on the news. Their identities don't matter to the public, simply that they exist and they fought for them.

My points are:
1) New York is a horrendously idiotic place to start a takeover of the world.
2) Nobody outside America seems to know anybody but Iron Man, so defeating them would do very little. Maybe it would slightly demoralize the U.S, fine. But that 1) wouldn't stop the U.S from defending itself, where it would then realize "Hey, our weapons work against these guys! They ain't so tough after all!" and 2) would do nothing to prevent the rest of the world from mobilizing its military cohesively.

Take out military bases and world leaders if you want to take over the world. Loki decided to go the route of mocking a superhero. What?

QuoteRecently constructed by Tony Stark, (the tower) is powered by its own independent arc reactor, capable of sustaining the tower for a year without any cost to the city, which results in Loki selecting the tower as the location where he uses the Tesseract to open a portal to draw his army to Earth, both for the practical reason of the arc reactor providing him with the power he needs and the symbolic meaning of his use of the tower satisfying his own ego and desire to taunt the Avengers.

QuoteHulk must have been all over the news worldwide

QuoteCap is probably one of the most well known faces of WWII.

QuoteIt doesn't matter that no one anywhere knows who Iron Man or any of the others are. What the public sees, via the news etc coverage, is that an alien force attacked, and these people who are more extraordinary than the average citizen, leader, or military person, stepped up to fight. If they were defeated, it would make most people wonder "what chance do I have to defeat him?"

YES, they'd still mobilize the military, but they'd also be demoralized. Part of the fight would already be won. It's like Musashi, who felt you didn't have true victory unless your opponent knew they would be defeated before you even did it.

So, to that end, sure, they could have invaded starting anywhere, as long as it was a large city with lots of witnesses and possibilities of heavy coverage from the media. New York was chosen because of Stark Tower.

Hiddleston was actually originally auditioning for the role of Thor, wasn't he? I'm glad that he's Loki, though; he is one of the main attractions of the MCU for me.

QuoteLoki wasn't about taking out leaders, he was about putting on a show and manipulating his way to the top.

QuoteWith The Avengers destroyed in front of an audience, he had free reign.

Quote from: BANE on Jul 23, 2012, 07:38:14 PM

QuoteLoki wasn't about taking out leaders, he was about putting on a show and manipulating his way to the top.

In that case, the fact he simply didn't just teleport himself into the white house and take control of the President Baffles me. Or someone else of high rank to gain control of possible military enemies.

QuoteWith The Avengers destroyed in front of an audience, he had free reign.

Of a small part of the world. And even then, I sincerely doubt everyone would go "Alright, he's our leader" just like that, after six people got beaten.

I'm not trying to take anything away from the awesome movie, by the way. I just think Loki chose the most idiotic route possible.

QuoteAs stated SEVERAL times, Stark Tower was part of his damn plan. He needed it to control the Tesseract.

Quote from: BANE on Jul 23, 2012, 07:53:22 PM

QuoteAs stated SEVERAL times, Stark Tower was part of his damn plan. He needed it to control the Tesseract.

That's part of the problem though: the SHIELD base was already used to activate the Tesseract, indicating the special power supply of the Tower isn't actually required. The metal was needed to prevent collapse, but they got that.

Or did they explicitly state in the movie that "We need more power!"?

Makes me realize how awesome it would be to see Asgard mobilize for a full on war. We only got a glimpse of that in the first movie.

Quote from: Ruadh on Jul 26, 2012, 04:38:04 PMAs I stated a few posts above, they say they're visiting the other realms in this film. That would definitely include Hel.

Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Jul 27, 2012, 02:45:17 AMMakes you wonder just how many other powerful entities are out there. Until Thanos' reveal, I'm assuming that Odin was the strongest character in the MCU.

Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Jul 27, 2012, 03:00:06 AMEDIT: So I looked up the Celestials; I'm under the impression that they're essentially the Engineers (Prometheus)/Forerunners (Halo) of the Marvel universe? Seems pretty interesting so far.

QuoteThe Celestials were capable of reducing the Asgardian construct known as the Destroyer to slag even when the Destroyer was imbued with the life force of all the Asgardian gods (with the exception of Thor);[11] move planets at will;[12] and contain, create, and seal off entire universes.

Quote from: Ruadh on Jul 27, 2012, 03:39:17 AMAssume all you like, but as far as what they said...they claim they'll be showing all the other realms.

Quote"We're going to take Thor literally to other worlds -It will primarily be the journey of that character, of he and Jane Foster and how the new dynamic with his father is working out, as well as what are the broader stakes for The Nine Worlds."

QuoteSo while the relationship between Loki and Thor certainly has changed and has progressed, a lot of Thor 2 is picking up where it left off in terms of Jane, who you just saw for a moment on a computer monitor, and also what's been going on in the nine realms without the Asgardians being able to use the Bifrost?

Quote from: Ruadh on Jul 27, 2012, 04:05:34 AMI guess telling us what's been happening in most of them is better than showing us.

Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Aug 04, 2012, 02:02:16 PMI wonder if they're going to slightly change the color in the film, so as to distance them from the Frost Giants a bit?

Quote from: ScardyFox on Aug 04, 2012, 04:01:58 PMIf they did me thinks they're playing too many liberties since neither should be high tech.

The Asgardian stuff we saw in the movie was pretty high tech. Or magical, if you wish. It is what it is. But the Frost Giants looked like they belonged in caves. At least after their war with Asgard. So I think you get my point.

Quote from: Laufey on Aug 04, 2012, 06:08:41 PM
Things change, might as well accept that. Some things for the worse, some for the better. Making Asgard less of a magical place was pretty much necessary to make it fit into the MCU. Of course, the line between science and magic isn't really that clear in the movie, nor was it in the comics.

Quote from: Laufey on Aug 04, 2012, 06:19:53 PM
Yes, I do think it was necessary to change some things. To make them actual gods in a movie like this would not have fit with the established universe.

Quote from: Laufey on Aug 04, 2012, 06:19:53 PMAnd what would be the point of Gaia in the movie? What role would she have served when Odin already had a wife, and as such, Thor a mother figure.

Quote from: Laufey on Aug 04, 2012, 06:19:53 PMAs for things being crystal clear in the comics, that really depends on what you read. Some have been pure fantasy, some have read more as science fiction tales. Especially some of the new stuff. But also some of the older.

Quote from: ScardyFox on Aug 04, 2012, 06:28:47 PMHow not? Its been the literature for the past 50 years.

Quote from: ScardyFox on Aug 04, 2012, 06:28:47 PMThor doesn't have a mother figure. Why add one?

Quote from: OmegaZilla on Aug 06, 2012, 02:46:46 PM
Also, wouldn't mind seeing those reptile (?) things Thor mentioned in The Avengers (when he was talking to Coulson).

QuoteExploring Thor's relationship with the Asgardian all-father Odin, as well earthbound companion Jane Foster, "Thor: The Dark World" follows the God of Thunder to The Nine Realms beyond Asgard and earth. And as his evil half-brother, Loki, returns for Asgardian justice, a new threat rises. Also rejoining Thor are his fellow Asgardians, Lady Sif, gatekeeper Heimdall and Warriors Three, as they encounter mythical Norse creatures among evildoers.

Quote from: Ruadh on Aug 13, 2012, 05:24:23 AM
I'm sure she must have a role or two that is normal, or simply some dramatic role...but I've never seen any movie with her where she wasn't creepy as f*ck.

Director's can still have influence over the look of a film.

Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Aug 29, 2012, 04:10:08 PM
I have a feeling that Loki will be imprisoned by Odin and more of a behind-the-scenes character this time around, not actually taking any part in the physical battles.

I can also see him being a little bit more grey rather than a full on villain, especially if they decide to do a redemption story somewhere down the line.

Quote"In the new film we're going to get to know Heimdall the Asgardian a bit better, and we're going to get to know Asgard a bit better. I can't say too much, but the expansion of Thor in his world is going to be huge. My part was very small & functional in the first film, but I still felt very privileged to play him -- especially since Heimdall looks a certain way & has a Nordic lineage -- & here I was playing this character and bringing him to life in a different way. It felt quite groundbreaking to be a part of that."

The MCU page on FB talked about rumors about Stephen Strange playing a role in the movie...anyone know where these rumors have emerged? I hope they are true

QuoteThe Playlist claimed that Natalie Portman's character Jane Foster could be working alongside Dr. Strange in a similar capacity as she did with Stellan Skarsgård's Dr. Erik Selvig in the first film, and that Strange would be playing a big part in "all three acts" of the film, as opposed to being relegated to a cameo-type introduction. He would play a scientist (he's a genius neurosurgeon in the comics) and someone who's deeply interested in Foster's stories and knowledge about Asgard and Thor.

Who balked at it? I certainly didn't, She was one of two likeable female characters in the movie. Again,  Who balked? the critics? the audience? or just you?

Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Sep 07, 2012, 03:24:21 PMAnyways, about Doctor Strange, he probably won't have any powers in this film. I'd expect that to get saved for his solo film, if/when that (hopefully) happens. Still would be great to see him established in the MCU, powers or not, though.

Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Sep 07, 2012, 04:13:49 PMWould be nice if the Tesseract took a place in there as well. I have a feeling that that is going to be used either to rebuild or replace the Bifrost, since it clearly has teleportation abilities.

Quote from: ScardyFox on Sep 07, 2012, 02:59:08 PM
I welcome this very much as long as they don't try to explain away his magic away with the quasi science stuff from the first movie.

Sounds like a great idea. :)

Asgardian "magic" always worked like some kind of otherworldly middle point between magic and science.

Maybe he will take a trip down to Odin's treasure vault and get his powers from the Orb of Agamotto?

Like the mass fight at the beginning of the first one, maybe? ::)

And the MCU isn't nearly as over-the-top as the comics. And I'm fine with it. Shit jumps the shark and goes full-retard way too often in the comics, as much as I love them.

Your comment is full retard. And the "mass" fight had a handful of Asgardians.
