MTV News spoke with Idris Elba while he was promoting Prometheus" about reprising his role as the Asgardian gatekeeper, Heimdall, for the sequel, once again starring Chris Hemsworth in the title role. "Thor 2," which is scheduled to head into production later this year, is said to explore the other realms of the universe, outside of Asgard and Earth, so that would mean a heavier workload for Heimdall.

Idris Elba Promises 'Thor 2' Will Be 'Huge'
Though production has not officially begun, Elba has already started some prep. "I'm actually excited about it," he said. "I literally just did a costume fitting the other day."

Elba, who has only seen an outline of the story so far, said that he does anticipate a larger role for Heimdall in the sequel, but added that "Thor 2" will also be taking a closer look at the people who populate the mythical world. "Definitely Heimdall's more involved, but also, what's more involved is who the Asgardians are," he said. "I think we'll see a sense of that."

As past interviews with the cast have indicated, the scale of "Thor 2" is quite large, but Elba suggested that the focus narrows in on character in a way we haven't seen before. "It's a huge film, 'Thor 2,' but I also think it's micro in a way that you start to look at people, who they are a little bit more."

Excellent. More Asgardians, and more about the Asgardians are things I definitely want to see.

Once Surtur is released, well... no further manipultion needed.

This is definately something I wouldn't mind seeing happen.

More Heimdall, Asgardians, and a closer look as to who the Asgardians are is exactly what I want to see!

The best thing he said in that is that it was a 'micro' movie in a way. The problem with Thor is that you often get stories so big, to the point of Odin headbutting Galactus, that it becomes nothing but abstract ideas. There is no character or motivation shining through, things happen because it looks good or it sounds cool and that is not enough

Idris Elba Confirms His ‘Thor 2′ Return

[BigThor]

That makes Thor 2 a potentially pivotal film in the second phase of the Marvel movie saga, and things like Heimdall’s role will be interesting to see take shape. If Loki’s machinations have put Asgard in danger (possibly under siege by some cosmic threat?), Heimdall will have to do more than just observe – he’ll have to kick a little ass as well. That would be pretty sweet, no?

This quote didn't come out of Elba's mouth, but I definately want to see him kick more ass in THOR II.

All I ask; is to see Thor go up against a Villain where he has no emotional ties to so that he has no need or intent in "holding himself back" like he had done to some degree when having gone up against Loki in their previous battles.

Unlike the rest of his Avenger teammates, Thor has not been shown to really have a BIG EVIL enemy outside of his brother that we've seen him encounter in the MCU. The closest thing was Loki's own father Laufey, and the only real things that they traded between each other were words.

I want Thor to fight Executioner at some point, but I really wanna see him to go up against Mangog in the climax.

Speaking of which, if Surtur is as strong as I've read people saying that he is, how come he's never been considered as a "Avengers villain"? I mean I get the impression that he's a lot stronger than Thor, to the point where I've read some saying that he'd be the right person to "kill" Odin if Odin had to make a exit from the MCU.

He's run into The Avengers a few times, but Odin is stronger than the entire Avengers team so it makes sense for him to be Odin's foe.

Honestly he's more of Odin's enemy than he is Thor's, but with Thor being the "hero" of course he's going to get in on the action.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa....
I'm a 19 year old male with fair hair (I read on another site they're looking for people with lighter hair) and a muscular build, and I'm gonna be in London at some point this summer. How could I get in touch with someone and apply to be an extra?

I think you'll need a visa to work in the country if you're not British that is.

I call bull for these reasons

-The names listed for Ant Man includes fan favourites and frequent Wright collaborator Pegg? Too Easy. Also, two lads mag favourites with very few hit credits to their name for the female lead, Marvel doesn't do that. They get Portman, Paltrow, Tyler and Johansson.

-Batman in Iron Man 3? Please. Geek cred+previous with the director= easy balls rumour

-Whedon is trying to get his pals jobs at Marvel and Marvel are so desperate to keep him they do it? Also, the Hulk is not dead at ABC yet. They are saying they think it will be ready for next year.

- Every medical doctor is now an Astrophysicist? Come on now. Also, Thor 2 is packed already, why lumber it with another character fit to be a lead to distract from the core stories and why would this new random colleague of Jane's be taken to the 9 realms with her?

-Atwell as Carter is a fanboy dream although it would be interesting if they kept her British and if they don't wimp out and make her a good patriotic all-American girl.

-Black Panther in Avengers 2? Its always Black Panther as a follow up to Avengers at Marvel in other media. They want to keep the original team or close enough to it and then add diversity ASAP in all the animations we've gotten. I'm guessing this follow up arc is a rumour right out of Ultimate Avengers 2 and EMH.

I heard from a friend she saw someone on tumblr saying it was confirmed Thor 2 would be Chris' last outting as Thor. I call BS on it because it doesnt make sense to me. This tumblr also didnt site a source or link to anything. And I've never heard anything about it. But what do you guys think that might mean for the MCU if it happened? (Which once again, I dont think will happen for a good couple movies.)

That's obviously BS.
1. Thor/The Avengers is what put him on the map. Not to mention TA is becoming one of the biggest movies of all time.

2. He has a contract with Marvel to play Thor at least 6 times

3. He knew going in that he would be asked to play Thor for as many films as Marvel signed him to so why back out now?

[herolee10]

So if we're going by the trend of "Thor", I wonder how the sequel will lay the groundwork that ultimately shakes up the core of the MCU given on how the events of "Thor" led to some of the major things happening/taking place in "TA".

I'd say it's BS:

1. People write a lot of BS at tumblr when the day is long enough - similar to youtube comments.

2. From an interview with Chris posted in the Avengers-Thor-thread a few weeks ago:

"Now I'm starting to go, 'Oh wow'," he says. "Because I've been in the thick of it so long, now is the first time I've been able to stand back a bit and get some perspective and realise I might be playing this character until I'm 50!"

Yeah, since it seems like Marvel likes to stick with their basic models they set up for the films, it seems like Asgard is the table-setter for the big events that happen in the rest of the cosmos, for the MCU that is. Maybe that does lead to the Gauntlet being taken by someone (and hopefully the Eye of Agamotto as well, obviusly by someone different).

As much as I love Thor, I sure hope future big events are not only introduced thematically in the Thor movies but in other MCU films as well. That's why we need a Dr. Strange movie and an Ant-Man movie asap.

Yes, that would be awesome indeed. We got a hint of that in Thor with those Frost Giants.

I think we will see Thor 2 have some hints toward Avengers 2, but Cap 2 might be more closely linked due to his SHIELD ties. That is my opinion, though. I don't think Thor 2 will be as tied as most think to Avengers 2.
