Robert Rodat To Rewrite ‘Thor 2′
By MIKE FLEMING | Tuesday January 10, 2012 @ 8:34pm EST

EXCLUSIVE: Marvel Studios has set Saving Private Ryan scribe Robert Rodat to rewrite Thor 2 for director Alan Taylor. Rodat is reworking a draft by Don Payne. Disney will put the film into production later this year for release in 2013 with Chris Hemsworth returning as the title character. The sequel changed when Taylor, a prolific director of TV series including Game of Thrones, replaced Monster helmer Patty Jenkins.

*Excellent news, imo!*

[Spideyfan93]

Yay!

[Gamma Burst]

And thanks to kurac, for the heads up!

[Splat]

Yep, this is definitely great news. And I've already seen one report saying this is a bad sign lol. The movie doesn't shoot for 5 months and the guy rewriting has done some fantastic work. I love Saving Private Ryan and the Patriot.

So now Thor 2 has a director from Game of Thrones and the writer of Saving Private Ryan. Can you say epic?

THOR 2 Rewrite Handled by Robert Rodat
by Dave Trumbore Posted:January 10th, 2012 at 6:55 pm

Lately, Thor 2’s production has been in flux due to the original director Patty Jenkins leaving citing “creative differences” and new director Alan Taylor having to wait for a new writer to rework Don Payne’s original script. It looks as if Marvel Studios has settled on a new screenwriter so now everyone can just settle down and get back to work on making the sequel to one of 2011’s most successful films. Originally considered a contender for the rewriting job, Robert Rodat has bested competitors John Collee and Roger Avary for the position. The Oscar-nominated scribe behind Saving Private Ryan and the creator of TNT’s Falling Skies will have the task of scripting where the Asgardian’s story will head after he wraps things up with the The Avengers this May. Hit the jump for more on Thor 2.

Deadline originally reported on Marvel’s selection for Rodat to work on the script. As per a recent interview by Tom Hiddleston concerning the film, in which he will again play the villainous Loki, Thor 2 will be in London this summer to begin filming. Disney is looking to get production started as the film is currently scheduled for a November 15th, 2013 release. Principal actors Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman are in place to return, but little has come out regarding the plot.

Saving Private Ryan Scribe Brought On To Rewrite Thor 2
1 Comment published: 2012-01-10 19:44:46 Author: Eric Eisenberg

When it was announced last summer that Marvel would be handing script duties to Don Payne for Thor 2, I was seriously confused. In addition to the fact that the first movie had Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz (who wrote the awesome X-Men: First Class), Payne's previous work includes dreck like Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer and My Super Ex-Girlfriend. With so many talented writers in Hollywood, it didn't make sense that the studio would go to someone who has such a poor track record. Lucky for us, they have realized what they did and have made a move to fix it.

Deadline reports that Robert Rodat has been brought in to do rewrites on the script for Thor 2. While the project will be the first time that Rodat has ventured into the superhero world, his name carries clout because he was the Oscar nominated screenwriter on Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan. His other work includes The Patriot, the film starring Heath Ledger and Mel Gibson, as well as the television series Falling Skies, which premiered last year. As confirmed by Tom Hiddleston earlier this week, the film is scheduled to go into production this summer in London with Game of Thrones director Alan Taylor at the helm. According to the site, the planned story for Thor 2 changed when Taylor was brought on board to replace Patty Jenkins in the director's chair.

This is great news. Robert Rodat is a legitimate screenwriter who will hopefully take the sequel to the next level. In a way this reminds me of when Joss Whedon was brought on to direct The Avengers and ended up completely rewriting the draft that was by Zak Penn (who was also responsible for some superhero disasters, including the first Fantastic Four movie, Elektra, and X-Men: The Last Stand). I look forward to seeing the result of Rodat's work.

[Crimson King]

Why would people think this was a bad sign? They've said all along that Payne's draft would be re-written depending on who was chosen as a director.

I think the choice of Rodat is outstanding. I was starting to worry about this movie, but it seems to have righted itself.

You know there are people who love to spell doom for a movie with every piece of news, even when they're good ones.:)

[echostation]

when you pronounce Rodat's last name is it kind of Belgian hupti French as in the silent AT? like Robert Rodaaa? Or is it pronounced Ro-dat with the emphasis on the DAT like Data

[kedrell]

This looks to be a good choice. I was personally hoping for Roger Avary but this will do nicely. Not every movie he's worked on has been gold(Tall Tales, 10,000 BC) but he seems a good choice.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Well, I am a big fan of Saving Private Ryan so this is good news to me, the guy knows how to do epic at least so I am hoping he brings some large scope and gravitas to the movie.

[04nbod]

This looks to be a good choice. I was personally hoping for Roger Avary but this will do nicely. Not every movie he's worked on has been gold(Tall Tales, 10,000 BC) but he seems a good choice.

And keep in mind he's a re-writer, not a writer. The plot, its progression and most scenes are already outlined and done and a whole new script won't come out of this. He'll be looking at the pace of the film, the dialogue, the plot holes, the logic and character progression.

I wonder what the creative difference was that needs to be changed.

[herolee10]

Before they start exploring other worlds, I hope that “Thor 2” allows viewers and audiences alike to get a chance to explore Asgard’s city more and to see on what daily life is like for its inhabitants. Heck, it’d be great to see on what the populace’s opinion is of Thor and of the Loki situation especially considering that just 2 years before these events, Loki was a prince of Asgard and acting King for one day.

Indeed, though I’m curious if they’ll also bring in… I keep forgetting that place’s name..it’s like Asgard’s version of Hell, where in the comics, Loki’s daughter rules it. In any case, should be interesting if they decide to bring that in as well.

So...do we get some kind of subconcious love triangle in 2hor? Is that what Jaimie is implying?

[herolee10]

So...do we get some kind of subconcious love triangle in 2hor? Is that what Jaimie is implying?

I think she meant (if you’re talking about her last interview that is) that she’s hoping to see their relationship dive into a more romantic territory as it is shown in the comics. Heck, I remember hearing from her in a interview last year that she said that they had filmed more scenes dealing with her relationship with Thor but that it didn’t make the final cut.

Jaimie is implying it will be handbags at dawn between Jane and Sif :whatever:

[herolee10]

Yeah me too, I would like to see a few scenes of Asgards army training and it's people going about their daily lives.

Which leads me to hope that someday, we'll get a scene where Thor is giving a motivational speech to his soldiers before going off to battle with them (ala Return of the King..or heck, even the Immortals). With Hemmsworth's powerful voice, he'd definitely be able to pull it off.

Yeah, with a 'for Odin, for Asgard!' to complement it.;)

[Superhero 101]

That'd be awesome!

[herolee10]

Given on how this film will also be exploring on the new found closeness that Thor has with his father, I hope that Odin gives him a compliment or a "job well done" type of thing when Thor returns to Asgard after having heard and see Thor's actions on Earth. I mean Odin always wanted Thor to live up to his potential and protect the innocents on Earth and all over, and I would assume that the events of "The Avengers" is the first time that Thor directly participated in battles that saved all of Earth.

[04nbod]

Yeah, with a 'for Odin, for Asgard!' to complement it.;)

Noooooooo!

Thor's line needs to be 'For Midgard', none of this 'For Asgard' crap :woot:

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Really glad to hear Jaimie Alexander is back, she was a pleasure to watch in Thor for both her performance her looks, she is stunning and seems talented to boot.

[herolee10]

Man I really hope that the closing credits for "Thor 2" has something like this again.

Nothing but I think Thor himself should focus on Midgard. Remember the famous panel that sums it up:

Odin- For Asgard
Thor- For Midgard
Loki- For Myself

We've seen none of Thor's 'For Midgard' priority. Thor 1 was all 'for Asgard', 'for Jotunheim' and a town he had grown to like. Maybe Avengers will deal with that side more but I want to see why Thor has such a devotion to humanity in general especially when he doesn't have his life as Blake. They are going to have to come up with something new.

Exactly, besides "For Asgard" sounds alot cooler and if he's fighting with Asgard's army why in the heck would he shout "For Midgard" anways?

[Superhero 101]

You know i have just started watching Game of Thrones And as i was watching it i really liked the design of Jamie Lanister's armor and i kept thinking man that would be such an awesome design if Balder was in a Thor movie and really hope we kind of get a design like that if we ever see him.

[Godzilla2000]

I assumed he would be defending Asgard, and that's why he'd scream ' for Asgard'. Of course, if he's on Earth, ha must scream 'for Midgard'.:)

Volstag at least yelled "For Asgard!" right before he was *****slapped into the hood of a car in Thor.

I must really need some sleep because I read that as Alba not Elba and I was thinking why would Jessica Alba be returning when she wasn't even in Thor?

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Heck yeah, I want to see more of his super strength and using his sword to summon cosmic flames.

Would love to see all of that, and as we mentioned in another thread, would love to get a full blown fight scene in this, maybe facing the villain before Thor does or something.

[R_Hythlodeus]

So, just the pure facts, without any rumors:
(please feel free to scream at me if I missed something)

- The movie will come out on November 15th 2013 (at least in the US)
- Alan Taylor will direct
- Don Payne wrote a draft of the script, Robert Rodat is about to rewrite it
- Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Natalie Portman, Jamie Alexander and Idris Elba are confirmed to return

anything else?

[marvel_freshman]

- The story takes Thor "literally" to other worlds
- Explores the broader stakes for The Nine Worlds
- Filming takes place in London
- The size of Asgardians and Norse Creatures will double

[04nbod]

It seems like Chris Hemsworth's wife is pregnant. She works fast!

http://celebritybabies.people.com/2012/01/18/snow-white-and-the-huntsman-chris-hemsworth-expecting-first-baby/

If they are filming the whole movie in England that might be tough. She won't be able to travel with a newborn.

[kedrell]

England is a lot closer to Spain than the states are.

[04nbod]

They don't live in Spain do they? You would still need to fly anyway and that can be hard on a baby's ears. Paediatricians advise parents to wait 2-3 months before flying with an infant but people don't listen so I don't know what they'll do.

[kedrell]

Chris would probably commute. England to Spain is only an hour or two by plane. London to Madrid for example is just 800 miles.

[Gamma Burst]

- The story takes Thor "literally" to other worlds
- Explores the broader stakes for The Nine Worlds
- Filming takes place in London

Really?? I didn't know about that. It sounds great.:wow:

[BigThor]

Would love to see all of that, and as we mentioned in another thread, would love to get a full blown fight scene in this, maybe facing the villain before Thor does or something.

Most definately, with him putting up a good fight before eventually being overwhelmed.

[Aeltri]

- The size of Asgardians and Norse Creatures will double

I honestly doubt that's the case because it would ruin continuity. Asgardians are taller than the average human but not by that much and Frost Giants were depicted as being twice that height already. Not to mention that Laufey's pet monster was the size of a small building...

[R_Hythlodeus]

- The size of Asgardians and Norse Creatures will double
that's the 1st time I read about that. Are there any confirmations for that? Do we know that for sure?

Because my BS detector is tingeling like crazy...

[Gamma Burst]

[R_Hythlodeus]

(Picture go away from my brain)

Just think about Things relationship with Alicia.......and all is fine.

[Lady Marion]

Hehe. Don't worry, I didn't meant how their relationship works. I meant the continuity.

"Hey darling you grew up so fast" :-))

[Gamma Burst]

Or about Merged (professor) Hulk with Betty.:D

I honestly doubt that's the case because it would ruin continuity. Asgardians are taller than the average human but not by that much and Frost Giants were depicted as being twice that height already. Not to mention that Laufey's pet monster was the size of a small building...

I think it means that the Number of Asgardians will double so we'll see Asgard in a much larger scope. But this is the first I've heard of the whole thing.

[marcvader]

Yeah guys, I don't think he literally means they are growing in size physically. That would not make a lick of sense. I think the size as in the scope and citizenry of Asgard as well as the numbers of creatures and monsters seen.

[Gamma Burst]

Yeah, you guys are right. I shouldn't have taken it literally.:)

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Most definately, with him putting up a good fight before eventually being overwhelmed.

Yep, that would be perfect, as well some awesome Heimdall dialogue thrown in between as well, REALLY hope we get this.

[Aeltri]

It's the way they phrased it that made no sense. We've already seen a whole city full of Asgardians and they featured rather prominently in the throne room scene. If Thor and co. visit other worlds there are obviously going to be more characters in the form of trolls, dwarfs, elves etc. on screen :whatever:. I can only think of one being that would (literally) have to be bigger than anything seen thusfar: Surtur.

[TheCorpulent1]

Maybe they mean Thor'll be leading more Asgardians into battle or something. I mean, yeah, lots of Asgardians appeared in scenes, but they were largely just set pieces CG'ed into the backgrounds. I could see some major threat attacking Asgard and Thor actually leading more than just Loki, Sif, and the Warriors Three this time.

[BigThor]

I honestly doubt that's the case because it would ruin continuity. Asgardians are taller than the average human but not by that much and Frost Giants were depicted as being twice that height already. Not to mention that Laufey's pet monster was the size of a small building...

By size they meant the "number" of Asgardians and Asgardian creatures, not size as in height or weight.

[Still A ThorFan]

I saw the Wrath of the Titans trailer last night. Made me drool how cool it would be if we had action scenes like that in our next Thor movie, the stuff they can do with villians like Ulik, Kurse, Surtur......

[marcvader]

Yeah, hopefully Marvel kicks it up a notch in the epicness levels for Thor 2.

[Vartha]

heh with the Calone I bet we REALLY go places now hahahaha "JANE LOOK OUT!!!!"

[Gamma Burst]

Yes, the epicness must be raised in the sequel! They have a plenty of material to work with Thor's mythology.

[BigThor]

Yeah, hopefully Marvel kicks it up a notch in the epicness levels for Thor 2.

Most definately :up:

[Godzilla2000]

I believe post-Avengers events will set up more epicness nicely. With sequels it should always be about raising the bar and escalating the threat. Thor will become wiser, Loki will be much more ruthless, and everyone will be caught in the middle of it all.

More From Tom Hiddleston On THE AVENGERS; THOR 2 To Shoot This Spring

The actor shares his thoughts on The Avengers director Joss Whedon and after previously revealing that Thor 2 would start shooting in the Summer, he now confirms that it will start this Spring.
Josh Wilding - 1/27/2012

"I had a lot of fun with him, it was great," said Tom Hiddleston of his experience working with director Joss Whedon. "Joss has an extraordinary taste, I think. He's got such a brilliant and irreverent sense of humour but also an incredibly deep knowledge of the comic book genre and a respect for the traditions of how these things are handled."

Unfortunately, he wasn't willing to reveal anything new about the Alan Taylor helmed Thor 2, but did confirm that shooting will start this Spring (rather than Summer as he previously revealed). "There is a Thor 2. It's been green-lit, and I think it will start shooting in London in the spring. Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman are coming back. I haven't seen the script. This is where I feel the Marvel snipers are waiting and watching across the street..."

Which is a bit "extreme" in my opinion.

[herolee10]

What I hope Thor 2 explains is how the heck do beings within the 9 realms travel around from their own worlds? I mean in "Thor", we knew that Asgardians had the bi-frost bridge to use in order to go wherever they wanted to, but I was never sure as to how Frost Giants where able to go around, let alone pose a menace to anyone else if they were stuck on their own world. Do other realms have their own means of traveling to the other worlds..and if so..could anyone just teleport into Asgard?

Not surprising since she's contracted for the second one. Whether she is for the third one is the mystery.lol

I still wonder on whether we'll see Anthony and Renee return to the series.

Very true, this post raises a good point.


Yep; I mean we know that they had some means of transporting as evident when we saw the Frost Giants Invade Earth, though I've wondered at times if this was due to the Casket's ability in the MCU to transport them.

Heck, I could really go on about issues like..given the size of the Bi Frost room, how the heck did Odin manage to transport his entire legion by fitting them into that room?lol

My guess is that every one in the Bi Frost has some means of travel...though it'll have to be explained somehow.

That's why I think at times, the comic book and animated versions of the 9 Realms made a bit more sense since everything was linked by the rainbow bridge. It wasn't something that looked like it could be turned on or off....and there was a whole yard for the Frost Giants to stand on outside of Asgard's gates.

How did the Frost Giant "commandos" get into Asgard's treasury room at the start of the first movie? I'm pretty sure they explained it, but I can't recall.

Loki assisted them, and did so without alerting Heimdall, but they never outright said how.

According to Loki, there are many 'shortcuts' between the Nine Realms.:)

You're right. Hopefully, Thor will be on the Avengers (and not only on Avengers Assemble).

[BigThor]

That sure is some good news! :up:

[herolee10]

Just curious, but is Thor's usage of his hammer a way of indicating to characters and readers alike of how is personality/character is like at that given time? I mean, since Odin placed the enchantment on his hammer that no one but those who are worthy can lift it, that means that as long as Thor stays a good person, that he may be allowed to wield its power..hence his hammer being alike a morality measurement for him?

Yeah in a way you can say that, but he won't lose access to Moljnir unless Thor does something EXTREMELY bad like killing a helpless human (it happens when he killed Jake Olson).

At least we know that we'll be seeing our favorite Asgardian again next year; and like I've said before, Thor is so far the only Marvel Superhero in the MCU that'll have graced the big screen in three consecutive years in a row.

And if you really think about it, we'll have had 4 consecutive years of seeing something "Thor-like" on the big screen:

1. Iron Man 2: Post Credit Scene
2. Thor
3. The Avengers
4. Thor 2

Yeah, we're getting spoiled.:)

If you haven't heard of Thor by the time those are all out, you're living under a rock. lol

[Gamma Burst]

So, from the remaining Realms, if you could choose only one to see in Thor 2, which one would be?

[Neo_3]

Time for fire demons.

[Shadowlord X]

Svartalfheim - some Dark Elf maliciousness courtesy of Malekith.

[Gamma Burst]

Svartalfheim takes my vote too. I'd love to see something of Vanaheim, though.

[R_Hythlodeus]

I vote for Duckburg

[BigThor]

So, from the remaining Realms, if you could choose only one to see in Thor 2, which one would be?

I vote for


Svartalheim - Home of the Dark Elves, mainly because I want Malekith to be the villain.


Hel - Realm of the dead, I want Hela do be introduced and play a key part in the plot.


Nidavellir - Home of the Dwarves, I really want to see them working hard forging weapons.


Muspelheim - Home of the fire demons, they could provide a glimpse of this real towards the end since I think they should save Surtur for THOR 3.

[herolee10]

Makes me wonder at times as to whether they'll establish and say that Loki is Hela's father in the MCU as he supposedly is in the comics.

I could see it working, since Loki is around one thousands years old they could still put it off with a 700-800 year old Hela.

[herolee10]

I guess that's possible. It's just that there was nothing that i saw in "Thor" that indicated to me that Loki would already have a child in the MCU. Unless they have more issues than he would have with Laufey.lol

That's true, but in the comics there really wasn't anything to indicated that Loki had a daughter until Hela was actually introduced.

It's not like they have a healthy "father/daughter" relationship, to be honest they don't even act like they're related most of the time.

[Godzilla2000]

I think the only answer to Loki conceiving Hela and having her be about his age in the timeline is Time Travel. Three years is an awfully long time for Loki to come up with things to keep him amused you know. Who's to say he didn't ride the time stream to the past after leaving the constraints of Asgard and get a Frost Giant female pregnant with Hela. It could be yet another offense Odin could list to hang over Loki's head, the abuse of Time Travel.

Speaking of Odin and Loki, I have a feeling all the death and destruction he'll be causing on Earth in the Avengers will hurt Odin more than Loki realizes. Earth seems to be a favorite place for Odin and for the man he adopted as a son to abuse it the way he most likely will is a very big betrayal of all that Odin hoped to teach Loki about the fragile balance of universal order.

In the words of Jesus from Family Guy "Ehhh, let's not muddy things up here", Loki is about a thousand years old so he could easily have a daughter who's several centuries old.

[herolee10]

There are some things that I'd definitely like to see explored before Thor's franchise is done:

1. How does Thor deal with the fact that he'll most likely outlive all of his newly acquainted comrades from Earth (the Avengers) or any mortal that he may have befriended?

2. Man, I really want to see Thor's Earthly Origins (Elder God) explored. I think the concept alone that half of his heritage is that of a Elder God could really be exciting to see if done right.

3. Thor finally becoming King

4. Siege of Asgard; I want it to be on the scale of how Peter Jackson showed the Minas Tirith being attacked by Sauron

5. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Thor have some kind of special destiny when it comes to that "Ragnarok" ordeal? I'd definitely like to see that as well.

[Gamma Burst]

Unfortunately, Thor dies in Ragnarok... However, his two sons, Magni and Modi, survive it.

Really? I could have sworn that i read a description saying that Thor is the only one that ends up surviving that and that in the past Ragnaroks, he would always be the one to survive it and end up being put into a deep sleep afterwards. Damn Wiki's.lol

I find it interesting how Balder's death initiates the events leading to Ragnarok but Thor's survival is basically the big ol' reset button. Loki thought he had it bad, imagine being Balder.

That's myth Odinson, not continuity. Thor should never ever be bound by it. Its so limiting. If Stan had created an adaptation we'd have a violent, ginger hothead.

I definately would like to see all of those things before the end of this franchise, especially the Siede of Asgard and Thor becoming King.

Also whenever Thor finds out about his Elder God heritage I would like to see him utilize his ability to create chasms in the Earth.

This could a really exciting plot device in that THOR learning that Frigga is not his real mother leads to an estrangement between himself and Odin. This could then cause THOR to abandon Asgard and choose Midgard as his new home. I would love to see that movie end (final scene) with THOR floating high above Earth and loudly declaring:

"This realm is now under my protection!"

After avengers, i really need to find one of those "CLICK" remotes so i can fast forward time. I CAN'T WAIT for an epic Thor journey. I really want them to delve deep into the realms. As much as i love the first movie, i want the the setting for THOR 2 to be the opposite of the first. LESS midgard, MORE realms. Thor just has so much to offer.

True! I hope we forget a bit about Midgard in the sequel. Let the focus be, for the most part, on Asgard and other realms.

[steintym]

I don't know, I'm probably in the minority, but I liked the mix (Earth and Asgard) we got in Thor. I'd like some of the other realms explored, but I also like seeing Thor be a hero on Earth. In fact, since he was powerless most of his time on Earth, i'd like to see him with his full powers this go around. Maybe the Avengers will get me my fill.

I want more Midgard, too....but I don't want to see a depowered Thor wandering aimlessly around a podunk desert burg in New Mexico this time around. Take the action to Scandinavia, where it's appropriate; and/or a big city for some street-smashing action.

[Godzilla2000]

I don't know about Thor 2 because we would just be coming off of two films with Loki as the main villain, I say save it for Thor 3.

For Thor 2 I would go with Thanos as the main villain, but Loki's activities from the Avengers needs to be properly addressed. Loki should not be totally excluded from the movies though since he is an Asgardian prince. I'd have Thanos be the direct cause of Loki's new, aggressive attitude. If Thanos is as ruthless as you comic fans state I'm sure Loki encountered him and has been on the receiving end of some beat downs and physical torture from him while he was in self exile. Maybe even have Thanos blackmail Loki into helping him get the Infinity Gauntlet from Odin's armory, maybe Loki committing one sin to prevent an even worse one?

[Crimson King]

I love Thanos, but he needs to be an Avengers villain. I wouldn't mind some hint of him in the after-credits scene, though.

[BigThor]

^ True, I say have Malekith as the main villain in Thor II with Amora and Executioner as his cohorts with Loki playing a more "behind the scenes role".

Agreed. Thor has too good of a rogues gallery to not take advantage of.

Yeah Thor's rogues gallery is up there with Superman and Spider-Man's, I hope they take advantage of that in these films.

It's hard to tell because they use their abilities differently, quite different actually.

Encantress uses her powers in a more flashy manner like energy attacks and force fields while Malekith uses his to augument his strength, shapeshift, or use magical relics.

[Vartha]

Probably more or less Malekith's magiks are nature based, and Amora's being an ENCHANTRESS more like suggestive types of magik's. Where Loki, and Sigyn have an over all magik knowledge.

Dude, he can be an Avengers villain too! But you have to introduce him somewhere, and the Thor franchise would be that place to introduce him so we can get a formal introduction to him, not a hasty one that an Avengers movie would afford him. Why are you surmising that just because he'd be mainly featured in the Thor universe they won't use him in an Avengers sequel?

[The Morningstar]

Yea if Thanos' was to be in one of the solo films, it'd have to be Thor's.

I'd love to see a fight between Odin and Thanos on the big screen, trading blasts of unmeasurable amounts of energy that start distorting and warping reality. Thanos literally walking through a sustained blast from Gungnir. Odin blasting him a mile into the distance.

You know, epic ****.

A couple of reasons. First, they've already taken one Thor villain and made him an Avengers villain. Second, all signs point to Thanos having some involvement in the first Avengers movie, so to bring him into Thor 2 would cheapen his appearance in Avengers 2 (IMO).

I agree. There are certain rules for storytelling and build ups. IF Thanos is somehow featured and foreshadowed in Avengers, then we won't see him as a main villain until Avengers 2. He MIGHT turn into the Nick Fury of Phase II, though. Popping up now and then after the credits.

[The Morningstar]

His appearance in Thor 2 could be explained by him wanting the Infinity Gauntlet from Odin's weapon vault. Setting it up for Avengers 2.

[Aeltri]

I wonder if Malekith is significantly higher than Enchantress in sorcery department.

Were it not for Malekith's vulnerability to iron, he would be slightly more powerful than Amora. Malekith is a true sorcerer in the AD&D sense, most of his abilities are inherent which he has built on top of by studying magic. Sorcerers can usually cast more spells of a certain type but wizards get a wider variety of spells to choose from. Asgardians strike me as being less magical than elves, so wizard-like individuals like Karnilla and Amora have to work harder by making more frequent use of focci, rituals, components etc.

[BigThor]

Why is everyone so dead set on Thanos being the main villain in Avengers 2?

I think it would be better to save him for Avengers 3 with Ultron or the Masters of Evil being the villains for Avengers 2.

[BigThor]

^ You really think Avengers 3 is going to come out in 10 years?

[The Morningstar]

Well, around that mark yea. Maybe 8 years. I just think Thanos is better played as a Darth Vader figure, rather than an Emperor type figure. I mean, Thanos is indeed a schemer, a planner. But he also likes to get his hands dirty. Having his minions do all the work isn't really in his character.

[BigThor]

^ Yeah but I don't want them to blow their load to early, The Avengers don't really have a villain than can top him so anyone that comes after him will be a step down.

It will be their first film where they're Avengers from beginning to end and it would be a little too soon for Thanos, not to mention they have other important villains like Ultron, Master of Evil, and Kang.

Since we're on the Star Wars analogies, Thanos strikes me more as a combination of Thrawn and Boba Fett, with the Emperor's street cred. Vader is portrayed as too much of a subordinate figure at times.

To be honest, as a life long Thor fan, I'm extremely worried that Thor's going to get the shaft in this movie when it comes to his show downs with Ironman and Hulk due to popularity.
I was sooooo looking forward to this movie......but if they are going to make Thor look like a punching bag for the other two characters due to their popularity......it'll be tough to stomach watching Ironman easily dispatch of Thor.
Now suddenly my excitement is muted somewhat.....I can only hope he is represented fairly (and no, I don't want Thor to dominate in the fisticuffs....but I don't what him to be dominated either!!!!).

Thor is going to beat Iron Man up, there's not doubt about that especially since Robert Downey Jr. said it in an interview where he was asked if he and Thor are going to fight.

There was also another interview where he was asked who he thinks would win out of Iron Man and Thor, his answer was "Thor" he pointed as Chris Hemsworth and said "look at him, he's a deity while I'm just a fella".

[Lady Marion]

I'm sure Thor will strike back. It wouldn't make sense to show him so weak that he can not defeat Iron Man. Look at the devastation in the forest. This will be an incredible fight.

Even when he has not the most glorious scenes in the trailer I'm disappointed only when the great scenes mit Thor are missing in the movie and they don't show his power or his strenght. But I don't see this coming.

[BigThor]

In addition to a few awesome feats of strength I sure hope Thor uses lighting heavily in The Avengers, I loved the amount of lightning attacks he used in the A:EMH cartoon.

Yeah us Thor fans have seen Thor slighted far too many time in recent media, so it's only natural that we would worry about it happening in the film.

I think you and I are on the same page with the "believe only when we see it". But keeping my hopes up!

[Vartha]

How does everyone feel about Thor's presence in the trailers for The Avengers?
I liked it, tho I wish they would have included that little bit From ET, "You humans are so Petty." lol

[Shadowlord X]

I would have liked the hammer smack down on the car in full.

[BigThor]

I hope Thor isn't too "hammer dependent" in this film, I really hope we get to see him throwing some power punches and lifting a few large objects throughout the movie.

[Gamma Burst]

THOR's going to kick some major @$$.

MARVEL STUDIOS appreciates that he's their other blockbuster character after IRON MAN.

He will be portrayed well. Relax.

Agreed. I'm really not worried.:word:

[The Morningstar]

Marvel can't risk any of their characters having poor showings. They don't want to alienate fans and they do want to bring new fans on board.

The only way to do this is make every character awesome, in their own way.

You're right, I believe they'll be more careful with their characters in this film than they've been in animation because of the significantly larger size of the audience.

Well if that spoiler info at that other web site is accurate (and I hope it is), then I think josh definitely will treat Thor very very well!!!!

Yeah Thor had a pretty cool feat of strength, here's to hoping for a few more on an even larger scale later in the film. :woot:

I was disappointed that the Frost Giants weren't huge in Thor. Recently I found out that in actuality the Ice Giants who live in Nifelheim(Home to Hel) are the ones that are supposed to be gigantic. Frost Giants are normally insanely tall and vary in size.

Seeing that enormous Leviathan in the Avengers trailer has got me excited about Thor going to Nifelheim in the sequel and facing off against the true giants. Marvel can undoubtedly do it with Disney's money backing them up.

I didn't mind the Frost Giants being 10 ft tall in THOR because what they lacked in gigantic size they made up for in numbers, plus there was that huge beats Thor flew into a the end of the battle.

I agree with you on wanting to see Thor fight Ice Giants at some point in this franchise, I also want to see him battle fire demons, rock trolls, and storm giants as well.

I hope Surtur is at least hinted at in Thor 2 so he can take center stage in Thor 3.

[BigThor]

I hope Surtur is at least hinted at in Thor 2 so he can take center stage in Thor 3.

Same here, as a matter of fact I would like for Surtur to be shown in Muspelheim saying a few threatening words at the end of Thor II.

I definately want to see him as the main villain in Thor III, maybe he and Odin could both perish after a HUGE battle leaving Thor as the King of Asgard.

Odin Vs. Surtur would be EPIC incarnate, but who would Thor battle? Malekith perhaps?

I could see Thor battling Malekith or Kurse, maybe he can battle Kurse who's being manipulated by Malekith.

Agreed. With Thor I expect to see what we sometimes see in the comics where he holds back a bit around mortals and maybe takes a bit of a beating at times, but keeps shaking it off.

That works pretty well in A:EMH quite a bit of the time.

It's a thin line with Thor because you don't just want him dominating everybody, but you don't want him to look weak either. So, I expect he'll underestimate the "mortals" a bit at first, but grow to respect them over the course of the movie.

[Neo_3]

Odin Vs. Surtur would be EPIC incarnate, but who would Thor battle? Malekith perhaps?Why not Surtur? HAve Odin (For Asgard), Thor (For Midgard) and Loki (For Myself)

[ThePowerCosmic]

Why not Surtur? HAve Odin (For Asgard), Thor (For Midgard) and Loki (For Myself)

You know, I never thought of a team-up but it would be spectacular to see. Good idea!

I'd rather see Odin face Surtur himself, why should the All Father need help against his mortal enemy?

While I think Thor's overall power level in EMH was prefect, I didn't like him being a "punching bag" and he didn't really seem like a skilled fighter at all.

True, he does come across as a bit too much of an oaf at times in the cartoon (like he does occasionally in the comics).

Not too concerned about that in the movie, with the choreographed fight sequences and all.

I think we might see Thor take a bit of a beating at times, but with the idea that nothing really fazes him. I'd like to see him really power up at some point, though.

Yep he was being knocked around by blows that a warrior of his caliber should easily counter and while he's much more skilled in the MCU I do want to see him pull off some "oh sh**" power displays like he does in MCU.

Something of the same caliber as deflecting that huge laser from Kang's mothership in A:EMH would be perfect.

Yay movement! Nice find mara.

[Gamma Burst]

Thanks for the news, Mara. The fun will start again soon!

[mara]

Yes indeed! I cant wait! hehe. I'm glad the same cast is returning too.

[R_Hythlodeus]

Oh. News. Nice! So, they are filming in the UK this time?

[Gamma Burst]

Yeah, it seems the filming will take place there for the most part.

Can't for some news about the villains!

[R_Hythlodeus]

It kinda makes me worried, cause there's no real news about IM3.

[Gamma Burst]

Why would you be worried?:huh:

[mara]

Don't worry, there'll be be plenty come'n around soon.

[Aeltri]

If filming is taking place in the UK then it's likely that Svartalfheim/Faerie will be one of the worlds involved. In the comics the main nexus between that realm and Midgard lies in the Cotswolds. It would also make sense that some Dark Elves would favor London over the countryside. The closer they are to the seat of human power the more strings they can pull.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^Nice to hear some movement on the sequel, I think out of all the MCU movies after The Avengers I am looking forward to this one the most.

I don't see why they would have to be specific to the UK. Just look at Liverpool and Manchester doubling for New York in Captain America. Its probably just the tax breaks.

They confirmed Kenneth Branagh as a producer of the movie.

And they also confirmed the whole cast of the first one expecting to returns minus apparently Clark Gregg, Samuel L. Jackson and, surprise, Kat Dennings. (Colm Feore's character is dead, so he's obviously).

Actually, Kat Dennings is listed as a cast member on that page. :yay: And for some odd reason Idris Elba is listed twice. lol, oops.

[mara]

To be honest, I'm glad to see Portmans name on that list. I was worried about that little hissy fit she threw regarding Patty Jenkins, that marvel would pull a Norton and tell her to gtfo. Which could still happen. Then I'm worried she may do a crappy job out of spite! Never the less I'm thrilled to see the original cast returning and hope that Rene Russo gets more scenes this round! She's such a beautiful actress, I was so sad most of her scenes from Thor were cut.

Great new Mara and I agree with Odinson, I can't wait until we get some official news of the villains in THOR II. :up:

[Aeltri]

I don't see why they would have to be specific to the UK. Just look at Liverpool and Manchester doubling for New York in Captain America. Its probably just the tax breaks.

In CA's case it also had to do with the fact that it was easier to recreate the 30's look given the architecture at said locations. If they were already filming in other parts of Europe why not? NYC is more modern, which would have translated into more sets and CGI. Liverpool and Manchester are less recognizable, London on the otherhand is unmistakable. Furthermore, Thor 2 is set in the modern era so I think there is more to it than tax breaks this time around.

[steintym]

I love that they're brining the whole gang back. I can't wait to start hearing some plot details.

[sabetoonth]

This what Im really waiting for, great news the cast is pretty much all returning!

[Gamma Burst]

Would anyone, besides me, like to see the golden apples of Idunn? I know it's a detail, but it would be pretty cool,imo.

[Whiskey Tango]

Would anyone, besides me, like to see the golden apples of Idunn? I know it's a detail, but it would be pretty cool,imo.

I'm all for any little bits that add to the mythology like that. I'd love a scene where Odin uses his ravens as well.

[BigThor]

Yeah I hope we get to see alot more Heimdall, I will be sorely disappointed if he doesn't get a badass fight scene of his own.

[Gamma Burst]

More Heimdall, Sif and a bit of Valkyries, then I'll be a happy man.

[R_Hythlodeus]

Of course, in fact, if Jane Foster and Thor DO travel the 9 realms (as was stated by Feige? Jenkins? idk), if this really is part of the plot, the apples might come into play as a very important plot point.

[catgirl18]

More thor and jane :cwink:I hope we see hela lokis child.

Loki's punishment is hopefully not so bad:csad:
I think odin forgives him like in the comics

[mara]

Had the same thought about Heimdall.

Valkyries would be cool!

One of the things about the first movie that I enjoyed were the stunning visuals of Asgard, I want more of that plus other realms. I'm also rather fond of the warriors three so def want more from them. I hope wherever Thor goes they go too, I personally don't want this to be focused solely on Thor/Jane.

pinewood studios is 20 miles from central london so they are probably filming there and pinewood can look like anything. i doubt any scene actually is supposed to be london in the film.

If you know Liverpool you will recognise Liverpool. I can't not see Liverpool docks when Cap is chasing the Nazi spy. Its the terracotta columns that make it stand out.

Thor 2 is set in the nine realms apparently so maybe the locations aren't the reason. If we can do Potter we can do Thor.

[mara]

Most of this movie will prob be filmed inside a studio, kinda hard to do other exotic worlds without CGI etc.
I keep wondering what part Loki will have in this and how the new dynamic between Thor and Odin will play out, being that Thor's character is always defiant in one way or another... Whats also crossed my mind is if Thor will ever become king...."you'll be a wise king" from that comment, I almost thought that maybe just maybe, he had become king off screen, since he had proved himself and all that, seeing the "celebration" and Odin out of "king garb" but Thor still fully in his garb. But then I read the the bit from the avengers storybook and Thor refers to the Allfather, which either means Thor doesn't get the title Allfather until after Odin is deceased or it is an exclusive title for the king. I'm not sure, if anyone knows anything about that title please let me know. :yay: There's also a slight change to Thors armor in the avengers to consider, will they keep that? If there's meaning behind it such as his title has changed or he has new powers, I think they should. Just a few thoughts...:yay:

Maybe, after Thor went through in the 1st movie, he thinks he's not ready to be the king yet.
