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.
