Chris Hemsworth Looks Forward To More THOR; Robert Downey Jr. Looks Back On IRON MAN
The Avengers: Age of Ultron stars talk briefly about the 2015 sequel, but Robert Downey Jr. mostly recalls establishing the Marvel trend with Iron Man, while Chris Hemsworth talks about his Thor future.
It's no secret that Robert Downey Jr. is signed on to portray Tony Stark one more time in Avengers 3 after Age of Ultron next year, but for some reason, The Hollywood Reporter recently asked the Iron Man actor if he sees himself suiting again. "I'm sure we'll ride that thing," he said. "You've got to surf that all the way in to shore." He then looked back on the success of the first Iron Man movie and how he's credited with the launch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well as the ever-growing superhero movie trend. "I think I was at the forefront of something that was coming into being, and I think it has carried me as much as I have informed it," said Downey. "That's the healthy way to look at it. It's so easy to become inflated by the successes, but what they really are are long, strong trends. It's just another wave." Meanwhile, in a seperate interview with the The Morning Show in Austrailia, Robert Downey Jr.'s Avengers co-star, Chris Hemsworth, talked a bit about Age of Ultron and how he looks forward to wielding Mjolnir as the mighty Thor... for the remainder of his contract with Marvel Studios. "It's three times I've played the character now; [which] has made me look at it in a different way," said Hemsworth. "We just shot the Avengers [sequel] and finished a couple months ago. It's exciting if not more than the first one was to see all those characters come back together." The Aussie actor was then asked about hanging up Mjolnir, to which he replied, "At some point, yeah." He continued, "I still got three more [movies] in my contract that I need to finish off, but I love playing the character. So, I'm not in any hurry to finish doing that. It's nice to be able to fit different things in between [playing Thor.]" Watch both video interviews below with Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Hemsworth, as the latter also reveals what director he considers a "dream" to work with.
