During the interview with Italian site
Bad Taste, Chris Hemsworth has confirmed that Oscar - winner actress Natalie Portman will be back for
The Avengers in 2012:
How many contracts signed? How many movies has committed?
Hemsworth: "Six. Three for three for Thor and the Avengers "
And where do we stand with the Avengers?
Hemsworth: "I'm going to get the final script, while I have read many drafts. We start shooting in May."
He read comic books to prepare?
Hemsworth: "Yes, I gave them to Joss Whedon, and the strangest thing is that they gave me before I came to know that he would be directing the film."
There will also be Natalie Portman?
Hemsworth: "Yes, Natalie will be there also."
So we can definitely say that Stellan Skarsgard will also be back just like the recent reports are saying.

The Avengers is set to hit theatres on May 4, 2012.
