Tom Hiddleston Shares His Thoughts On New Director For THOR Sequel!

Great Actor

Tom is the man!

@Budwulf
LIVIN LA VIDA LOKI...LOLZ !!! that's the best thing since the avengers trailer....

Am I the only person who wants to know how she got on Marvel's radar?I mean, she's a good director, but she directed 1 film 8 years ago.And in the last 8 years she's only directed 4 TV episodes.In the last 5 years, she's directed 1 TV episode and part of a movie anthology.

And add to that the fact that she's only done drama and comedy.No action, adventure, sci-fi or fantasy.

How does someone who hasn't made a film in 8 years and hasn't done anything resembling a comic book film land one of the most epic of superhero movies?

That's a huge leap in career and genre.She must have really impressed them.I just hope she doesn't get overwhelmed by the scale of this film, or worse, tone down the scale to something more manageable.

@tazmaniak: solid points. But giving Marvel the benefit of doubt until they put out a movie like Green Lantern

Loki shouldn't be in the sequel too much. Save the sequel for the enchantress and Skurge

What I really liked about Thor was that it was really outside of the box. Not formulaic like Cap and even Iron Man. The love interest here is already obviously attracted to him, practically throwing herself at him in fact, and when she sees for certain that he isn't crazy - she is the possessive one. But what shined more than anything else was Loki, and that's all Tom Hiddleston. Let's hope we see more of him in the future.

You know what's funny? The "Howling Commandoes" were to be featured in Captain America, and in some part, sure, but Sif and the Warriors Three really took on that role. I'm wondering if the Howling Commandoes' role was reduced in favor of avoiding that same mechanic.

I'm not bashing any of the Marvel movies, I love em. I just really connected with Thor.

@Tainted87 Wow, I must have seen a completely different movie! When exactly did Jane "practically throw herself at him"? The character Kat Denning played was thrown in for comic relief and to drool over Hemsworth's bod, not Natalie. Jane was too wrapped up in her science and discovering what was really going on to even think of any romance until almost the end of the movie. And that romance was formulaic and cliched. It was so ham-handedly forced on the audience at the last minute it seemed laughable. I enjoyed Thor too but I felt they handled that aspect of the film very badly. It was romance for the sake of having romance in the mix, and not led up to with any substance at all. The opposite approach would be how they handled it in Raimi's Spiderman. I am hoping for a better in Thor 2 with a Jane, Thor, Sif triangle, a midst the over the top action!

...Hiddleston's Loki is one of the greatest comic book movie villains of all time. I'm glad we'll see more of him in the Avengers and Thor 2.

@RacerREX
Point being, Jane is not a pursuit. She's very into him, from the beginning - at first because of his involvment with the "wormhole" which developed into "pretty sure I don't think you're THE one, but you're damn sexy".

Yeah I guess you're right, it was a teeny bit forced. But compare the love interests from Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, and Captain America... to Thor.

Pepper has had a lasting relationship with Tony that has flown over the professional borders, is given his approval to take charge and control of this relationship, and eventually gives him a smooch. I liken this to Moneypenny and Bond, only with the roles reversed. Pepper doesn't want to be Tony's mom.

Betty is a wreck. She's already involved with Bruce when he has the incident, and after he's forced to go into hiding, she supposedly moves on. To me, that's representative of either a sensible woman or a sociopath. Bruce comes back and she basically ditches her current boyfriend (the relationship is serious enough that they LIVE together!) to go help him maybe find a cure (but really just to catch up). How long would she manage on the run, I do wonder. And what happens if Leonard shows up with green hair?

Peggy has the benefit of knowing Steve before and after Operation Rebirth and sees him as a curious good-natured boy who WANTS to explore what he sees as manhood. After the vita-rays, Steve is able to do just that, and she is initially impressed. They would need to work on their communication a bit more considering how often one another ends up decidedly jealous. It's a shame she won't be around too much, as she was on the same level as Steve, and I think they could have had a relationship.

I like that Thor/Jane isn't a serious relationship. They care about each other, they're attracted to each other, and they seem to want something to be there, but it wouldn't be the end of the world to them if it didn't work out.

@tazmaniak

good question. but i also say Jon Favreau and Joss Whedon wasnt everyone cup of tea at first before Marvel sign them up to direct their movies.

@tamaniac Perhaps she got the job via the producers casting couch?? I have no idea but its rather strange putting a director with only 1 full film under belt in charge and a few talking head tv shows in charge of a and technically complex action film. Not that she can't do the job but she without a doubt has very little experience under her belt for a film like this. I will have to watch monster but even if its great Its still like giving a one film director the reigns to a James Bond film with a huge budget

I would like to see loki in Thor two but where he has to help Thor, Sif, warriors 3, and Balder save the universe from Sutur!

Im certianly not a fountain of facts here, but I was under the impression that Brannagh didnt continue his options becuase, like other Marvel directors, he balked and the limitations imposed on keeping the 'MCU links' in the movies.

@RacerREX
To be honest I totally agree. While I enjoyed Thor, i laughed at the forced, unbelievable love interest between Thor and Jane. It was lacking in emotion, passion and development. That said, I expect that relationship will be developed significantly more in Thor 2, and that may be why they have changed to Patty. The Thor/Jane relationship is a very important part of the Thor comics. Thor 1 was the Thor-Loki family breakup that layed the groundwork for Thor as a character and his involvement in Earth, so it would make sense to build on his 'Earth based' relationships in Thor 2.

ah BTW, is it really bad of me that i wanna say bad things to get them awesome little troll pics under my name? Sooooo not a deterent :p
