Now that Disney and Marvel Studios have finally revealed that Patty Jenkins will be directing
THOR sequel, one of the actors who is already confirmed to reprise his role in the film is Tom Hiddleston, playing the God of Mischief. Talking to
StrictlyCinema.com he shared his thoughts on the new director, plus talked a little bit more on Loki's role in Joss Whedon's
The Avengers.
On Patty Jenkins directing THOR sequel, he said:
"[She is] an absolutely amazing director" and that 'Monster' is "one of my favorite films. I'm so excited that Marvel has given the reigns to a director who has such of an incredible grasp of story, performance and complexity. I think her handling of the characters and the arc of the story in 'Monster' and what the story is about on the whole is really, really fascinating. I'm sure it's going to take us on another adventure somewhere that's entertaining and funny in some capacity, and the fact that Patty is at the helm is really, really exciting."
THOR sequel will be released on November 15, 2013.
As for Loki in The Avengers, he added:
"It's a jealousy that is borne out of a spiritual leeriness and his sense of confusion as to where he belongs in this universe. In the absence of a place like Asgard, he misguidedly tries to form a community of his own. But given that he's a born prince and (ultimately becomes) a king, he decides that his community is going to be on Earth and he will rule the human race as their king. There's a degree of self-possession to his villainy. In 'Thor,' he was almost a reluctant bad guy. In this, he's knows he's the bad guy."
Starring Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Cobie Smulders,
The Avengers is set to hit theatres on May 4, 2012!
