[mara]

yup. lol oh well.
I do hope to see a little clashing between Odin and Thor for whatever reason. It just seems its bound to happen. Thor seems so different from his father.

[Gamma Burst]

Yeah, they are always knocking heads in the comics.

[mara]

Exactly. Always.

Just saw the newest trailer for Snow White and the Huntsman with Chris inside of it.

The graphics look good imho, and Chris of course, looks great in the role that he plays. I can't wait to see him get back into the role of Thor in his own film for Thor 2. By that time, I'm confident that Chris's rising star power will really help bring in more money as well for this film (provided that it's done well as a whole)

And after seeing Charlize Theron's performance in that trailer, I think that she'd make one hell of a Enchantress character.

[R_Hythlodeus]

Yes, she would.

[mara]

After thinking about it, Amora seems to be the logical choice for part 2 while saving a bigger character like Surtur for part 3. :) I have a few concerns about having Amora as the villain but I'll save that for later. ;)

Agreed. Amora and Skurge, Malekith and the dark Elves or even Karnilla and Rock Trolls( Ulik included, of course) could work on the sequel.

[herolee10]

Agreed. Amora and Skurge, Malekith and the dark Elves or even Karnilla and Rock Trolls( Ulik included, of course) could work on the sequel.

Agreed; for the roles of:

1. Enchantress; I'd like to see Charlize Theron play her

2. Malekith; I wouldn't mind seeing either Jason Isaacs or Jeremy Irons play the role.

[mara]

In total agreement about Charlize Theron.
We all know what we want to see in this movie, but what would we want to totally avoid like the plague?

[BigThor]

I would like to avoid the Olympians, Beta Ray Bill, and Thunderstrike in this franchise, I know most fans are dying to see them but audiences don't even know enough about Thor and Asgard yet.

This mini has been pretty cool, adding nice details to the movies.

[BigThor]

Like I said in The Avengers threads, I really hope Shield doesn't learn how to use The Destroyer's "energy source" or upgrade it, because I think some things should be above even their capabilities.

[Saitou Hajime]

Well having seen "The Hunger Games", I have to say that Thor 2 got its work cut out for it in 2013, because "Catching Fire" is probably going to make a killing.

I have the same doubt.

I'm confident THOR is going to do very well.

I believe Chris Hemsworth is going to be the rising alpha-male star of Hollywood.

You mean THOR II?

[DarknessOfDeath]

I agree about Theron....although, I think Beckinsale wouldn't be that bad either (though, she plays a villian in the total recall remake as Lori) and depending on how she goes in TR, I mean if she can't play Enchantress, who else could she play as in the Thor Universe??

[Saitou Hajime]

What do you mean by that?

HG is actually decent unlike Twilight, while (if the early reports are true) being its peer in terms of drawing power (and apparently without the 3d boost, to boot). It's reasonable to assume (based on the Twilight sequels) that the rest of the trilogy is going to more or less the same, which means CF is going to give Thor II all it can handle and more. Which is sort of disappointing, since part of the comfort I got from Thor II being slotted during the holiday season was there was no more uber-franchise hogging the box-office pie.

I've never heard of that character... hmm I should check that out.

[BigThor]

Sigyn is Loki's wife and I highly doubt she'll be appearing in the THOR franchise.

[Lady Marion]

Had Sigyn an appearance in the comics? I've known her only from the myths.

[sabetoonth]

She's had small appearances to my knowledge. I think if Beckinsale were to have been in THOR it woulda been as Sif and that role's been cast with no signs so far of a recast

[BigThor]

I love Jamie Alexander as Sif, so no complaints about that on my end. :woot:

[sabetoonth]

Totally :up: she was on an episode of BONES and couldnt take my eyes from the TV

[catgirl18]

I love Jamie Alexander as Sif, so no complaints about that on my end. :woot:
I hate sif, but Jamie Alexander she is really beautiful.
Comic!Sif is mostly not a good character, she’s very clingy to Thor and is often portrayed as being his armcandy and everything just revolves around him and him alone.

No one can't replace Sif at this point. Jaimie played her well and I hope to god she has a bigger role to play in Thor II. And I doubt Beckinsale would be part of any Comic book movie genre. :(

Sif/Jaimie Alexander is gorgeous
http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0ixzauKJM1r3lcc8o1_500.jpg
jamie Alexander and Tom Hiddleston they should have a movie together.
movie sif is ok ,But in the comics I do not like her .
Walter Simpson's. sif great
Sif/Loki I think they had such chemistry in the movie.
the thor movie is based on the comics which are only have very, very loose ties to the mythology. And in the comics,t to me, a whole Sif/Thor/Jane love triangle is a bit too much "been there, done that". I have nothing against them, but would find a Loki/Sif development in the films so much more interesting.i seeing more Loki/Sif chemistry than Thor/Sif. I have nothing against Thor/Sif, but I personally saw them as more of a BFF and brother/sister thing and I really like Thor/Jane too.
here's the throne room scene where it's Sif that stands up to Loki and the post Thor banishment scene when Sif and Loki seem to be talking directly to each other. I also think Sif's sad reaction at the end is because she misses Loki too.Of course, I'd find Loki/Sif much more interesting! To be honest though, I think if they do it right, make it believable and don't make too much of a deal out of it, I think comic fans could be okay with Sif/Loki.

[Whiskey Tango]

And I doubt Beckinsale would be part of any Comic book movie genre. :(

I don't see why not. She's made like 50 Underworld movies. It's not that far of a leap from action vamps to comics.

edit: What we need is a Blade/Underworld crossover. Is Snipes out of prison yet?

[04nbod]

What he said, I may be relativly new to Thor as a fan, but I've always liked Sif over Jane

I can understand why but Sif always seemed lacking in character and soul compared to Jane but because she could fight always got more face time. As a character, Jane is leaps ahead but she's hamstrung by writers that don't know how to use her. Look at how Fraction is ballsing her up right now, her big story is that she's dating a pathetic loser while Don is passive aggressive about it. I swear Stan Lee did this stories in 1-2 issues and got past it, Fraction is on the slow burn. Then again, Sif's big story is that she is betrothed to a troll so they are both getting the short end of the stick there.

Underworld 2

I haven't seen that movie in quite awhile, I'm not gonna remember something as trivial as that.

[ddddeeee]

The ever reliable IMDB lists that we have a new Costume Designer.

[BigThor]

^ Well, I hope they don't change the costumes too much because I think they were perfect in the first film.

[L0ngsh0t]

^ Well, I hope they don't change the costumes too much because I think they were perfect in the first film.


I would personally like a slightly different take on the art direction. Asgard seemed a little claustrophobic for me....I get that it's not super big in the comics...but in the movie it felt like it was maybe the size of a decent sized city when I feel like it should at least feel about as big as like a country

Yeah but I don't think that falls under "costume design" and I was referring to the costumes not the Asgard itself because it would be cool if it were larger.

[ddddeeee]

We need to see more Asgardians. After Thor's failed coronation Asgard's population dropped to about 10.

[BigThor]

Yeah it really did, that's because they only showed to Asgardians locations which were Odin's palace and Heimdall's observatory.

[L0ngsh0t]

Yeah but I don't think that falls under "costume design" and I was referring to the costumes not the Asgard itself because it would be cool if it were larger.

totally I was just throwing my 2 cents in on what I would like to see done differently or even added....i guess the overal "look" of asgard I really didn't have an issue with just the fact that it really seemed like a cramped space to live in

[BigThor]

^ Agreed, the design of Asgard was awesome but it did look a little small in size and scope.

[Gamma Burst]

Awesome interview with Kevin Feige about Avengers, IronMan 3 and Thor 2

I'll post the Thor 2 related bits:


How 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.

[J.Howlett]

The world and mythos of Thor are the best in the MCU. I'm sorry but they just are. After Avengers, I'm just sticking with the Thor movies and the Thor aspects of the Avengers sequels.

His story with this brother, his father, and with Jane is just far more appealing and more interesting than anything in the MCU.

I need a horse!

[Gamma Burst]

With that, I agree. Also, I'm very glad that all the cast is coming back.

[J.Howlett]

With that, I agree. Also, I'm very glad that all the cast is coming back.

Me too...especially Portman. Is it wrong for me to just want the Thor and Loki parts in the Avengers and nothing else?

Also, it seems that whatever Odin has done to get Thor to Earth to retrieve his brother, has major consequences in Thor 2. That's my feeling about it.

[Chewy]

I want Enchantress but the phrasing "big villain" makes me think Surtur...

[Gamma Burst]

I have that feeling too. He might've unleashed something unexpectedly dangerous while doing that.
Now that you talked about this major consequences, i really can't wait to know some plot details.

[Gamma Burst]

I want Enchantress but the phrasing "big villain" makes me think Surtur...

Yeah. Mangog also came to mind.

[itchyscratch]

I didn't realise they were starting to film Thor II so soon. Huzzah!

I wonder when Chris finishes filming Rush? Overnight he'll have to change his eating and working out routine to try to bulk up again. Doesn't leave him long.

Can't wait to see what Loki's role will be in Thor II. I wonder how much his relationship with Thor will deteriorate by the time they get back to Asgard.

No, no, admit it! You just want to see Enchantress' boobies! I guess that's only fair to counter balance the hotness of Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston.

My inkling is that Thor 2's villain should be Thanos.

Can't wait to see what Loki's role will be in Thor II. I wonder how much his relationship with Thor will deteriorate by the time they get back to Asgard.

I think we'll be seeing the change in Loki and Thor's relationship in the Avengers. But the more interesting familial alteration will be how Odin will handle a more restless, ruthless Loki.

[chamber-music]

Its cool that they are filming in London this time around. I'm guessing they will be filming at Pinewood like Captain America:The First Avenger and X-Men First Class did.

I think this is the first EVER time that Fiege has said in an interview EXACTLY what I wanted to hear in regards to a Marvel Studio's movie, this all sounds amazing and will be the perfect pick-up point from the sequel I really hope Alan Taylor brings it with the directing as the story points sound perfect, and we all know the actors will be good.

[chamber-music]

You think Alan Taylor might bring some Game Of Thrones actors into Thor 2 for supporting role?

[R_Hythlodeus]

It depends which new characters are added.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

You think Alan Taylor might bring some Game Of Thrones actors into Thor 2 for supporting role?

Possibly, alot of them look like they could be in Thor's world, but hopefully, he just casts the best actors who suited for any new roles.

[BigThor]

I agree with Chewy, I really want to see Enchantress to be a villain in THOR II along with Executioner.

The "big villain" remark made me think of Mangog and Surtur, but that doesn't mean E & E can't still be villains because I was never expecting them to be the "main villains".

[Crimson King]

No, no, admit it! You just want to see Enchantress' boobies! I guess that's only fair to counter balance the hotness of Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston.

My inkling is that Thor 2's villain should be Thanos.



I think we'll be seeing the change in Loki and Thor's relationship in the Avengers. But the more interesting familial alteration will be how Odin will handle a more restless, ruthless Loki.

I had the same thought. If they follow the pattern from Phase I, the main villain in Thor's movie eventually turns into the main villain of the Avengers movie, albeit with new powers. Works for me.

Honestly, though, I don't care who it is. I just want Thor 2.

[RealIrOnMaN]

It's the Chitauri.

I know you don't like to answer questions, but surely you can answer a question as general as this one. :woot:

[R_Hythlodeus]

http://t.co/n3xjlDie = Good to know, that Chris did his research on Walt Simonson's run) Concerning the villain, I'm sure that a LOT of you will be happy to find out his identity this summer)
always teasing....

[Crimson King]

RIM is like an information stripper.

[BigThor]

My inkling is that Thor 2's villain should be Thanos.

I don't want Thanos as a villain in any of the Thor films since there are actual Thor villains much more deserving, I say save him for an Avengers sequel.

Surtur, the Midgard Serpent, Malekith, Ulik, Ymir, Enchantress, Executioner, now THOSE are some Thor villains I would like to see.

[Godzilla2000]

Who does Loki get the "redacted" from though. That is the question...

He bought them from the Oriental Trading company. All he had to do was add water and they popped out of tiny plastic capsules.

[Son of Coul]

So since Feige says all the cast is coming back and that this will deal with Odin, I guess it's safe to say Anthony Hopkins is confirmed? We were never 100% sure.

[louiebling$]

Surtur as Big would be :awesome:

[Aeltri]

http://t.co/n3xjlDie = Good to know, that Chris did his research on Walt Simonson's run) Concerning the villain, I'm sure that a LOT of you will be happy to find out his identity this summer)

That leaves the likes of Amora, Lorelei and Hela out of the running, they are secondary villains anyway. The defining bad guys during Simonson's run (aside from Loki) were Malekith and Surtur :woot:. That pretty much guarantees that Malekith is the villain for Thor 2 which sets up Surtur as the focus of the last movie. Even though Enchantress and Scourge were not up to their usual mayhem in the comics I am willing to bet that they too will make an appearance.

[Crimson King]

I think it was Feige who mentioned that the destruction of the Bifrost, and the resulting effect on the nine realms, would be central in Thor 2. That leads me to believe that Thor will be dealing with some unruly baddie in another realm (like Malekith) instead of Enhantress.

[Gamma Burst]

The Asgardians keep the other realms in check and I can definitely see how less access to said realms is going to be a problem. Add to that the fact that one of their greatest sorcerers went rogue and their greatest warrior is busy defending Earth. In the original script Malekith was imprisoned for attempting to overthrow his cousin Oona, the benevolent Queen of Faerie. Oona was on good terms with Asgard and presumably on neutral terms with mortals. It's clear that Malekith did not share those feelings and wished to restore Faerie to it's former glory...at any cost.

[Project862006]

Chris Hemsworth has been discussing what'll be his third outing as Marvel's Mighty Avenger, Thor 2. Now chatting with Slash Film, Hemsworth sheds light on the new direction of Games Of Thrones helmer Alan Taylor.

"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.

[Gamma Burst]

That's awesome to hear! More of Norse/Viking myth is a must to this franchise, imo. Thanks for posting it,Project862006!!

[Mjölnir]

I agree, the more they can make use of the myths and the feel of the old Norse lands the better it will be. I didn't have any problems with what they had in the first film but it's certainly possible to improve upon.

[Gamma Burst]

Yeah, now that they've overcome the hardest part (the introduction of Thor and his universe), they can expand it and make it even more unique.

[BigThor]

That leaves the likes of Amora, Lorelei and Hela out of the running, they are secondary villains anyway. The defining bad guys during Simonson's run (aside from Loki) were Malekith and Surtur :woot:. That pretty much guarantees that Malekith is the villain for Thor 2 which sets up Surtur as the focus of the last movie. Even though Enchantress and Scourge were not up to their usual mayhem in the comics I am willing to bet that they too will make an appearance.

I really would like to see Malekith as the villain in THOR II with Amora and Excutioner as secondary villains, I've never considered Hela as a "villain" she's more of a gray area character.

[Gamma Burst]

I think it was Feige who mentioned that the destruction of the Bifrost, and the resulting effect on the nine realms, would be central in Thor 2. That leads me to believe that Thor will be dealing with some unruly baddie in another realm (like Malekith) instead of Enhantress.

Hey, man. You wouldn't happen to be a King Crimson fan, would you?

[Flemm]

Malekith to me is too much like Loki. Sounds more like they might be going straight to Surtur. Which would frankly be epic, so I hope so.

But whatever. I can't wait to find out!

The Surtur Saga has everything: the scope, the action on Asgard and earth, the awesome fight at the end where Odin, Loki and Thor stand together (a great follow-up to both the first Thor movie and Avengers). So, that could be it.

So, that could be it.Do you think it would be a 2 parter considering how big in scope it is. Maybe introduce the Twilight Sword and his demons at first, then have Malekith come in and battle the Asgardians, 2nd half Midgard Serpent. All alluding to Surtur (there was one EPIC scan of this in Simonson's run). In Thor 3 they could really start with Muspelheim being unleashed and Surtur.

[Crimson King]

Hey, man. You wouldn't happen to be a King Crimson fan, would you?

I've only listened to a little bit of their stuff, honestly, but I liked it.

I decided I wanted a name change and quite a few of the Dark Tower characters were available. :)

All very interesting possibilities. It would be very cool to see Surtur looming the background in #2 (a bit like he does early in the Simonson run), then finally coming to the foreground in #3.

That said, to me this idea that Bifrost being out of commission affects the nine worlds suggests that something big has been unleashed. Which fits Surtur more than Malekith, really. I could see them altering the Surtur backstory a bit so that he is imprisoned by Odin in an earlier age. Something of that nature.

Characters like Malekith, Enchantress and Skurge could still appear in the movie, though.

[Aeltri]

I don't think it would be all that difficult to flesh both villains out so that they stand apart from one another. Both can be charming but Loki is as trickster first and foremost in that he has a sense of humor. Malekith on the otherhand, is too bitter and arrogant to be much fun. Since the guy from GoT is directing I would use Varys and Littlefinger as examples of glib schemers with very distinct personalities.

Good points, it could be done, I don't disagree with you there. I just think that, in the world of blockbuster movies, where you only really get a few shots at portraying the most important aspects of a character and his world, you need to go for something that is strikingly different each time.

It's the same reason you go Joker/Bane and not Joker/Riddler. Different archetype. Not that it would be impossible to do something cool with Riddler/Malekith, but it's more like a variation on a theme.

To me Loki-Surtur-Hela gives you three archetypes for three movies. You could still have other characters involved, though. But you never know, maybe they have something awesome in mind for Malekith and I am completely wrong :woot:

You make some really good points here.

[Godzilla2000]

Ah, between BigThor's and Odinson's avatars being so close to one another I think I'm having a seizure whenever I look at them.

[Gamma Burst]

LOL. Honestly, I thought the same thing while looking at them.:woot:

[BigThor]

Yeah he really does, but I do want to Surtur to be saved for THOR III so perhaps Skurge & Amora can still be in cahoots with the unamed main villain.

RIM said the villain is a "him" so that rules out having Hela as the main villain, so I really can't see it being anyone other than Malekith and Surtur right now.

[catgirl18]

, I never shipped Sif/Thor in the movie , but purely because they were friends and what not, I did wonder if they would go down that way. They just didn't really seem to have much chemistry at all, not like Sif jamie and Loki tom !

Anyone know if Jaimie will be in The Avengers?
I hope we get some nice Loki/Sif scenes in the Thor sequels. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that they have decided it'll be interesting to explore the hinted relationship of Sif/Loki from the Norse mythology. I know it's not in the comic books, but then, they're such different medias, comic books and films, I know the films simply won't be able to follow the comic books properly.

[Gamma Burst]

All the cast is coming back, according to an interview posted yesterday.

[BigThor]

Which one of these looks do you guys want Surtur to have whenever he makes his appearance?

[Gamma Burst]

Man, I love the classic design from the second pic, so it gets my vote!

[BigThor]

^ Go look again I've rearranged them, so which pic do you like best again?

[Gamma Burst]

The first!

[BigThor]

The first!

The one without the flames, just the long "devil horns"?

[Gamma Burst]

The one without the flames, just the long "devil horns"?

LOL. You rearranged them again? I mean the second pic, with the flames.:word:

[BigThor]

LOL. You rearranged them again? I mean the second pic, with the flames.:word:

Yeah but I've got them in the order I want them now, yeah I think that's the version I wanna see as well.

He's 1000ft tall in the comics, how tall do you want him to be in the film?

[Neo_3]

1001ft. Yeah I want the 2nd pic. The video game one he just looks weird and the first without the flames is not Surtur.

[Gamma Burst]

I'd like to see something like Kronos, from Wrath of Titans. How about you?

[BigThor]

I'd like to see something like Kronos, from Wrath of Titans. How about you?

I was just about to say that, yeah I definately would like to see Surtur around Kronos's height except with much faster movements.

1001ft. Yeah I want the 2nd pic. The video game one he just looks weird and the first without the flames is not Surtur.

Do you mean it's not a good representation of Surtur or it's another character, because that IS Surtur in the first picture as well as the others.

[Gamma Burst]

Yeah, he needs to be faster. Visually Kronos was amazing, imo.

[BigThor]

Yeah, he needs to be faster. Visually Kronos was amazing, imo.

Yeah Kronos was awesome, he just moved and talked alot slower than Surtur should.

[Neo_3]

Do you mean it's not a good representation of Surtur or it's another character, because that IS Surtur in the first picture as well as the others.I meant for the movie I like the 2nd pic.

[WildcatNC]

I'd like to see something like Kronos, from Wrath of Titans. How about you?

I agree. He has to look epic and mythological, like something that makes you think the world is ending type epic lol.


I think going Surtur for Thor II might be to early though. I think they should save him for the third film, same as i'd like to see Thanos saved for Avengers III if he's in it at all.


Here is what i would like to see a version of, in concept anyway.

The destruction of the Bifrost and Loki's cavorting in the nine realms underbelly has really shook things up. Odin can no longer easily enforce his rule so fear of him has diminished. Powerful enemies are now setting power plays in motion.

A major villain (not sure who I would prefer) rises up and sets his eye on usurping Odins rule of the realms. Amora is a rogue "mole" of sorts and assists him from inside Asgard.

Loki has found himself punished severely but still loved by Odin and Thor, thus spared. He begins to understand he must stop "lashing out", bide his time, and see how things play out. He begins to wonder if there still could be a place for him in Asgard. Amora begins to align herself with Loki and Loki concedes (both are circling each other and considering each others usefulness) but there is genuing interest and understanding. Loki should get a "love interest" of sorts from this, in their own twisted way.

Amora is playing both sides should Asgard not fall in the ensuing conflict. Loki figures out something is up but is conflicted on what to do.



Much more of course but a general concept of things. I'd really like to see more Asgardians and a lot of intrigue/politics within Asgard. Baldur NEEDS to be in it.

I'd like to see the seed of a love triangle with Sif. I actually think this should be Portmans last Thor movie. They should figure out that it just can't work by the end of Thor and it should be a bittersweet moment, leaving he and Sif for Thor III (jmho).

I would also like for whatever chaos/plots are unleashed in Thor II to have unforseen implications in awakening a GREAT evil (Surtur) for the next movie.

Just ideas but I would like for Thor II to be epic and span most of the nine realms.

[Sif]

I like all of this.
I'd like to see something on the scale of near ragnarok proportions since the destruction of the Bifrost is one of the first things to happen that lead to ragnarok. Something similar but not exact, just big on that kind of scale.
The family drama.
The politics of Asgard.
And yes I agree Sif ftw. She is supposed to be his wife in myth and in a few comic books so you know, out with Foster and in with Sif. :D

[Vartha]

I like the Simonson Surtur the best. without horns.

[Gamma Burst]

Executioner can also be brought along so Thor would have someone to "spar" with and he can even have his classic "last stand" against Hel's legions.

[Aeltri]

This is my favorite design for Surtur (with much shorter horns):

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b362/aimelek/surtur.jpg

It's true to Simonson's version without being too cartoony.

[Whiskey Tango]

What's that from?

[BigThor]

Damn that's an awesome picture of Surtur, I'd just tone the the horns and remove the lava cracks so he looks less like Kronos in WOT.

That's bring up another point, I hope they differentiate him enough from Kronos in WOT so most of the GA won't see him as a rip off.

I'd give him thick, curled, ram horns. Of course despite Surtur predating The Lord of the Rings, you may get some people comparing him to the Balrog.

I think if they ever have Surtur in the movies he'll look like this:

Kevin Feige Talks About Loki's Status in Thor 2 (SPOILERS)


Will he be the villain?

Marvel Studios Production President Kevin Feige recently spoke (http://collider.com/kevin-feige-thor-2-iron-man-3-avengers-sequel-interview/158942/) about Thor 2 including Loki's status and more. Check out the highlights:

On Loki's status in the film: "Loki has a part, but there will be a different villain, another big villain. But you can't do a Thor movie without Loki."

On Thor's development as a character: "Well it's sort of the crux of the whole sequel and it's what [Chris] 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."

On how the timing works out for the characters in regard to The Avengers: "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 … 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."

Chris Hemsworth on the film: "I have read a script and we start shooting in August. I met with [director] 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 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."

[04nbod]

As long as they take that 'quick crush' in the direction the first hinted at then all will be well. I'm glad Chris is excited about that aspect of the film most. He said elsewhere that he thinks the most satisfactory thing would be to see Thor and Jane happen and he's right.

[Crimson King]

The romantic aspect of the next movie could either be Sif or Jane--don't care--but I really hope it's not the central story. Not every superhero movie has to have a love angle in it. I'm not against romance in general, but I feel like it's taken too central a role lately.

Agreed, Thor's sequel should be about delving into his universe and telling a truely epic story so any "romance" should come second to that.

I'm not against romance either, but I feel thatit's taken too central of a role in cmb films as well.

Which is why I think Thor and Jane should realize its not going to work between them by the end of Thor II. He can't settle down on earth (this isn't the Dr. Blake Thor here) and she can't keep up with him and where he has to go. Sif can. As Thor grows closer to the throne of Asgard, only Sif among his interests is a fitting Asgardian Queen. He should realize this as time goes on and he matures as a man.

Most definately it only makes sense, so hopefully this is the direction Marvel decides to take since it's clearly the most sensible.

Its Thor though, the love angle is integral to his story especially Stan Lee/Larry Lieber's Thor.

Its Thor, based on Myth and folklore. That is where the storybook endings come from.

We can only judge that by what we know of the comics though and being with Sif always seems like Thor retreating to his boyhood and being his father's good kid. Growing up and getting out of Odin's shadow means defying him and that should be encapsulated by his love of Jane.

Also, if you want to go Ultimate. Ultimate Odin sent Thor to 'bring together' humanity and Asgardians. Thor without a connection to Earth is not Thor.

A fitting Asgardian Queen can talk sense into Thor, she is someone he listens to and respects. Nothing I would associate with Sif. Even in the movie, Sif says not to go to Jotunheim and Thor ignores her. Jane tells him not to smash things and he doesn't. Jane is a fundamental part of Thor's humility, she doesn't accept anything less and he knows that and aspires to be better because of it.

This is MCU Thor. It doesn't have to be exactly like the books.

Think back to all of the superhero movies since Superman. How many didn't have romance plots? All I'm saying is that too many movies with the same themes/plots tend to get old fast. I'd like Thor to be different.

Its Thor though, the love angle is integral to his story especially Stan Lee/Larry Lieber's Thor.



Its Thor, based on Myth and folklore. That is where the storybook endings come from.



We can only judge that by what we know of the comics though and being with Sif always seems like Thor retreating to his boyhood and being his father's good kid. Growing up and getting out of Odin's shadow means defying him and that should be encapsulated by his love of Jane.

Also, if you want to go Ultimate. Ultimate Odin sent Thor to 'bring together' humanity and Asgardians. Thor without a connection to Earth is not Thor.

A fitting Asgardian Queen can talk sense into Thor, she is someone he listens to and respects. Nothing I would associate with Sif. Even in the movie, Sif says not to go to Jotunheim and Thor ignores her. Jane tells him not to smash things and he doesn't. Jane is a fundamental part of Thor's humility, she doesn't accept anything less and he knows that and aspires to be better because of it.

IA and IMO Sif from the movie brings nothing to Thor's character. Who cares if they hooked up. There is no conflict, no story. There is a way to juggle the romance aspect with Jane and the warrior aspect of Thor without Thor 2 becoming a romantic film ala Nicholas Sparks. LOL

Thank's for the link anyway!

I think they should make it a love triangle between Thor, Jane, and Sif. That way, if Natalie Portman ever decides to back out of Thor 3, they can resolve the triangle by hooking Thor up with Sif. Personally, I don't have confidence that Portman will stick with the trilogy to the end, so Sif may be a better choice as Thor's romantic interest in the long run.

[Gamma Burst]

I quite liked this bit from Feige's interview:

The movies we've already announced are the ones we're working on most heavily and are the ones that are frankly taking up most of our imagination right now; how to bring Tony Stark back in a way that is unexpected and surprises people, how to evolve the Thor franchise and the Captain America franchise in new and unexpected ways to elevate them beyond what they started as," Feige said. "Doing something completely unexpected, outside the box, we're going to do that on these other Cap movies and Thor movies and Iron Man movies."

[Venomfan]

Hey, did we change our user names at the same time, Odinson? Jinx!
how do you change your user name? i only see the ability to change my custom title

[BigThor]

I quite liked this bit from Feige's interview:

Yep those bits were awesome, hopefully that means the romance is done in a way that sets it apart from other CMB films.

Honestly I don't care if Thor picks Sif or Jane, but I DO want whatever direction they take to be done in a refreshing way.

[Crimson King]

You can send a PM to one of the mods. I sent mine to C. Lee. Plan on only doing it once, though, because they don't like it when people keep changing their names.

I'm gonna change mine to "KingThor" one of these days, but for right now I'll stick with the one I have. :cool:

Think back to all of the superhero movies since Superman. How many didn't have romance plots? All I'm saying is that too many movies with the same themes/plots tend to get old fast. I'd like Thor to be different.

But using the source material is the only way we can decide these things right now when it comes to Sif. She was a generic plot device in Thor rather than a character. All we know is that she's loyal and likes to fight.

Its just funny to me that people say Thor of all characters doesn't need a romance plot. When we first met him he was defined by his constant 'I want to marry Jane, Jane will never marry me' inner dialogue and then that grew into the crap love triangle of the 70s. Its an essential part of Thor history. Its not like Tony who had Pepper taken from him very early on and then went on to become a hoe.

They have the same problem in the comics. There is a lack of story, she just hangs around moaning about him. With Jane we are rooting for them to get together against Odin's disapproval.

See, I think it's funny that you believe Thor has to have a romance plot. Of all the Avengers, he has the most to do, with villains scattered across the nine realms. How is Jane supposed to fit in that? Will he take her everywhere? I don't see how you put Jane in the movie without sacrificing the story. She's an anchor more than anything. I want to see Thor challenged by more than deciding who he wants to marry.

[catgirl18]

I liked Jane Foster, that gave Thor more reasons to be earthbound and have his girl in trouble for good stories.

Sif has always been there but I don't think he have the level of interest he had in Jane in the early stories.

However I don't think they could make it work now.

I agree on all counts, Thor exploring and defending ALL of the realms from evil forces is alot more important than either Jane or Sif.

[MarvelKnight]

I agree on all counts, Thor exploring and defending ALL of the realms from evil forces is alot more important than either Jane or Sif.

And at least Sif can hold her own and actually fight with the Thunder God.

[Smits]

Most definately it only makes sense, so hopefully this is the direction Marvel decides to take since it's clearly the most sensible.

It probably will be the direction they go. It really is the only logical path Thor can take as a mortal would simply not be a suitable queen.

[BigThor]

And at least Sif can hold her own and actually fight with the Thunder God.

That's why it just makes more sense for him to be with her in the long run, but Jane is by far the "fan favorite".

But Thor needs an anchor. He can go anywhere in the 9 realms well enough but Jane grounds him to Earth and grounds him as a humble man.

And at least Sif can hold her own and actually fight with the Thunder God.

I think Marvel writers have had that problem for decades and that is why Sif has come out ahead but the fact remains that as characters and as a story its never really worked.

Pretty sure 04nbod likes her.

I'll marry you Jane! :woot:

[BigThor]

No one really wants Thor to be earth bound though, he's already been on earth for 2 films so I'm sure everyone wants to see more of the 9 realms.

If he's just gonna hang around and fight crime on Earth they might as well change his name to Superman.

[catgirl18]

But the big challenge is we left Thor with that hope of Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) on Earth, and Thor in another realm, somehow getting together. I think the satisfying thing would be to see that happen. Joss did a great job of conveniently putting her out of the picture . So I look forward to that relationship being picked up and continued. Also, [I would like to see] whatever maturity Thor left from the first film really being put to the test. He would like now to think of himself in the position to take on the throne, and be worthy of that position. But we’ll see.” — Chris Hemsworth on [I]Thor 2, read the full interview here!

Who said he has to be only on Earth? He has to be tied to Earth though, that is essential to Thor's character. Are you saying they can't find a reason for Jane to be in the 9 realms for 2 more stories? That is ridiculous. And not everyone gives a damn about the weirdos of the 9 realms. We haven't actually had an Earth focused storyline at all. Thor 1 was all about Asgard, Thor just happened to fall to Earth and eat pancakes. It wasn't about Earth. Earth meant nothing to the plot.

Marvel Thor was based on Superman.

[Crimson King]

I have a hard time seeing Jane as anything but a damsel in distress if she's taken to the nine realms. At the very least, it would take some time before she can hold her own and that story is not what I want to see in Thor 2. I want to see Thor ascend to his kingly ambitions by taking care of an unruly nine realms.

If Jane ends up kidnapped by the big bad, I will cry right there in the theater.

[Aeltri]

It probably will be the direction they go. It really is the only logical path Thor can take as a mortal would simply not be a suitable queen.

Actually, there are mortals in the MU that would make suitable queens (I am speaking strictly from a canonical standpoint here). In the event that a worthy human was chosen they would partake of the apples of Idunn which would make them immortal as well. It was a while back but one alternative timeline run ended with Thor as guardian of Midgard, Sif stepping aside and Ororo (Storm) becoming queen of Asgard. It was implied that Ororo proved an even better ruler than most of her godly predecessors. Of course, they may choose to do things a bit differently in the Movieverse.

Thumbs up.:word:

[antonydelfini]

I think Thor likes Earth and Jane so much because he wants to be reminded of humility and being grounded. Thor has the tendency to be over confident and super arrogant and super selfish because of who he is, a god, and the craziness of the 9 realms, and he doesn't want to be the super immature and reckless guy Odin punished before. Jane and Earth is good for him cause he is always reminded of being noble, selfless, and matured.

I would really love a Sif-Jane-Thor love triangle in part 2. Sif fulfills the needs of Thor in ways Jane cannot (with Thor being a god and a fearless warrior just like Sif), but Jane also does something for Thor that Sif does not, (keeps him grounded, remind him of selflessness and humility).

For Thor 2, I would like a 20% midgard- 80 % other realms split. I would also like more violence, a more epic and grander scale, a longer running time, better and more memorable action scenes for Thor, and a helmet for Thor in action.

[BigThor]

Thor mythos is much bigger than a mere romantic interest.

Agreed on all counts :up:

[daderade]

My theories for Thor 2 is that it will have the Enchantress and Executioner...Enchantress will be disgusted because of Thor's "dallying" with a mortal. During the movie, Thor will realize(during his quest to find Jane who shall be taken by Enchanty)that he and Jane can never really be together, as he grows closer to Sif. Anyway, Thor will prove a match for the Executioner, but Enchatress's magic will prove too much and he will be saved by an unlikely ally...Loki who will get a "pep talk" from Odin.

[daderade]

But i would rather just see a Surter arc where Thor takes the throne at the end...and some BRB action

[Mjölnir]

Focusing a lot on Jane had been more relevant if they had gone the Dr Donald Blake route and really tied him to Earth. As it is now Thor shouldn't be too focused on Midgard in his own movies since he'll still return there in the Avengers sequels.

Earth was a big part of Thor's continuity in Thor, why in the heck would they keep coming back to earth when there are other realms to explore?

The Avengers is set on earth and all of the IM and Cap films are gonna be as well, I'm pretty sure Marvel wants to show off what makes Thor standout.

[Crimson King]

Marvel is also interested in expanding the MCU to include the cosmic stories, and Thor is a perfect vehicle to do just that.

GAME OF THRONES Showrunner Talks Future Seasons And Has A "Special Message" For THOR 2

Game of Thrones showrunner D.B. Weiss chats about future seasons of and has a little "fun" with losing director Alan Taylor, who's moving on to direct Marvel's Thor 2.

On Alan Taylor and losing him to Thor 2:

WEISS: Alan certainly is one of [the key players]. By the time Season 2 is finished, he'll have directed 6 of the 20 episodes. It's almost a third of the show. We feel like his look in many ways epitomizes the way we want the show to look. The way he directs is just something we've had so much love and admiration for, and now, so much jealousy since he's been stolen away to go do "Thor 2." So we love you, Alan. And [frick] you, "Thor"!

It makes me sad, but everyone is happy for him obviously and jealous and greedy. We want to keep him for ourselves.

Definitely mixed feelings about that one. Being a huge fan of the Song of Ice and Fire novels I want the show to keep being as good as it is, but at the same time it's great that Thor 2 gets a great director that has experience with a similar genre.

Okay, I'll take my chance and ask a question that I wanted to ask for a long time. Why don't you have seat numbers on your tickets (and on the seats of course) in the US like almost everywhere else? I mean, that way you don't have to stand in line for hours and you can choose where you want to sit when you buy your tickets online or via phone. It's not difficult, it doesn't cost anything (a little more ink on the ticket...) and everyone is happy.

The first couple of rows suck and maybe they know no one would actually buy them knowing where they were at. They might sell about 30-60 less tickets per screen on big nights.

Well you are in the "Thor" forums, so pretty much everyone here are Thor fans and the general consensus that exploring the 9 realms is the biggest concern.

For Thor fans yes but we are talking about viewership in general. I don't think any of them are concerned with Surtur or Hel. I think that they are more concerned with seeing what began in the first film continued. Jane is a big part of that as is Loki.

I wouldn't say that the Earth stuff in Thor touched on Thor's earthly continuity in a big way. There was only Jane and cheeky references to Donald. Its not like we saw the Gaia aspect, any of his Earthly villains or him setting up life there long term. Two of the leads on Midgard had to be original creations! There was no part of the Thor movie that says he loves Earth and wants to stay there. For me, that is such a huge part of Thor's character and it provides the back bone to his tension with Odin that to swan off to the elves and dwarves before that is set up is a bit crap. Its not good Thor. I get that people want the visual spectacle of the other realms but I care more about the character integrity.

We can debate how what we would think is more important all day, but the fact of the matter is Marvel IS going to expand on the 9 realms there are no "if", "ands", or "buts" about it.

Yes Thor's connection to earth is part of his character, but three films is just not enough time to explore the 9 realms and have Thor be an earth superhero they have to pick what's best for the franchise.


- The "Thor" sequel is expected to feature a large cast of Asgardians and creatures in the Norse mythology-set world.

-Thor 2 is expected to double its cast of larger than life Asgardians and mythical Norse creatures, making it one of the largest scale Marvel adventures to date, second only to The Avengers

But we aren't talking about setting the entire franchise on Earth. I think there should be one proper Earth Thor movie with Loki teaming up with someone like the Absorbing Man or something. A proper Lee/Kirby Journey into Mystery story, that is just where I think Thor was best personally. I realise that we probably aren't getting that though. All that taken into account I don't think that under any circumstances should they reduce Jane's role if we are going to going off to a fantasy world, something of Earth has to remain and I don't think it would be that hard to give her a role in 2 stories to fill out the Thor trilogy franchise.

Well gee thanks, the female populace salutes you. I'm sure Kenneth and the entirely male writing staff are not pleased at you insulting their standards of masculinity. I don't see what was unmanly about it. From what I could see of Thor when he was half naked he seemed very manly :p

Also, more adult? Its going to be PG-13 and I hope its still humourous.

So, the landscape of Asgard will have more details like greenery and fjords I hear? Slartibartfast would be elated to hear that.

Comments from Hemsworth. Got this from a certain website that shall not be named.

Talking to The York Press about Thor 2 and becoming a parent along with his wife, Spanish actress Elsa Pataky, Hemsworth shared the following---

"I'm incredibly excited about fatherhood. I am excited about Thor 2 too, but I think the biggest challenge will be fatherhood," he said.

The Avengers may have been steered by Joss Whedon and Robert Downey Jr. but for the sequel to Thor, Hemsworth has a little more say.

Said Hemsworth, ""I haven't got a script yet for Thor 2. I do get input into the script to a degree."

In regards to Marvel finally settling on Alan Taylor as director for the Thor sequel, apparently the mythical aspect and realism of Game of Thrones sealed the deal for Taylor.

"Alan Taylor, one of the directors and creators of Game Of Thrones, is directing it. What I love about that series is the mythical element to it, but that world that they lived in was entirely tangible and organic. It was all real locations, not green screen. I think Thor and Asgard could use that. That would be a huge plus, to not have worlds that are too clinical and ethereal, and have places that look like they have existed for thousands of years. I think this would be more locations and less green screen."

In his praise of Game of Thrones and Alan Taylor, Hemsworth has perhaps given us a hint as to what we can expect in the Thor sequel?

You can next see Hemswort as Thor Odinson in Marvel's The Avengers, debuting in US theaters May 4th.

Curious, but for those who are well versed with Thor's mythology, aside from Loki, who's regarded in the comic books as Thor's next biggest/popular enemy? Surtur? Malekeith? Enchantress?

One thing that I also liked is that, and for the life of me I can't remember where the article is that I read this from, but Chris or Tom mentioned on how the events of the Avengers won't supposedly go unnoticed by the Asgaridan community. It's definitely exciting to wonder on what kind of reactions and responses Thor will get from the Asgardian cast on his actions on Earth.

Also, count me on the bandwagon that hopes that Thor 2 will feature Thor having to go on a adventure throughout the 9 Realms that deals with him having to solve a mystery or something like that.

Thor's most popular enemy is probably Surtur, but he's too big of a threat for the 2nd film so it would be best if he's saved for THOR III.

Do you see any possibility of the franchise going about their villain selection in the manner that Nolan has where he used Batman's most well known enemy Joker in the second film before using Bane, who's probably lesser in extent when it comes to general awareness as the Joker has, in the third film?

Nah I think they're gonna save Surtur for THOR III, so right now I'm hoping to see Amora & Skurge working alongside another "big villain" in this film.

[MarvelKnight]

I don't think so either. I don't know this as fact, but I'm sure if Ledger didn't pass on, Joker would have been involved in the third film as well. At least, that is what I think.

Who would you have voice Surtur BT?

[Chewy]

Did you guys hear that Ray Stevenson's gonna be on the new season of Dexter?

I did, though, I don't watch Dexter. Last time I saw Stevenson on screen was when I watched "Kill the Irishman"

I have a no clue, most likely someone with a low gravely voice but I can't think of anyone in particular at the moment.

Dexter is one of the best-written shows on TV (right up there with Mad Men) and Michael C. Hall is incredible. You should give that series a shot.

Lol, so I have heard. With all the different things I watch, some things are due to get lost in the shuffle. I will check it out one of these days.

I'm thinkin' Tony Todd would be perfect.

I've never heard of him, but I'll be sure to look him and tell you what I think MK.

Nah, I certainly don't want Surtur to talk and act like this. :hehe:

He's the mortician from the Final Destination movies if that helps.

[Godzilla2000]

I just thought of this, oddly enough while watching Chris Hemsworth's red carpet interview for the UK Avengers premiere, but what would you guys think if Tom Hiddleston, who has expressed the desire to direct, directed a Thor sequel?

[MarvelKnight]

He's the mortician from the Final Destination movies if that helps.

Also, more famously, The Candyman of the 90s

[DarthSkywalker]

So this series is going to be held to a trilogy? That just seems... wrong. One of the few series you would think would have plenty of room for at least 4 or 5 films.
