A user over on the Whedonesque boards has posted a rough translation of a story in a Swedish newspaper where it was revealed that the Thor star will reprise his role in the Joss Whedon directed epic, The Avengers!
"The Avengers" is the dream team of superheroes, a group consisting of among others Iron Man, the Hulk, Captain America and Thor. The film is planned to premier in 3D in May of next year. Stellan Skarsgård confirms to TT Spektra that he will play the same role as in the upcoming "Thor": Doctor Selvig. Not much is yet known about the character apart from that Selvig is a scientist in New Mexico.
The most interesting thing about this news is why exactly his character will return in the upcoming superhero team-up. Everything we've heard so far has pointed to Loki being the (or one of the) villains in the movie, so perhaps his character will have something to do with that? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!
The Avengers is set to be released on May 4, 2012!
