Below is just the parts involving Thor. To check out the full interview over at Collider.
DENNINGS: No. I mean I had hoped. I mean it’s the kind of thing as a little kid that you want to do, you know? I mean my brother had all those comic books and he had action figures and I grew up with that stuff. So yeah, it’s almost like wanting to be a Princess. It’s like you want to be a superhero, too. It’s incredible. It’s such a dream. I really can’t believe I’m in this movie. I’m so excited. I’ve been thinking about it. It’s almost like when little kids know they’re going to Disneyland and they get really excited and start counting the days. That’s how I am.
So, I mean I know filming has started but have you shot your scenes yet or is that still coming up?
DENNINGS: No. All my stuff is towards the end, yeah, towards the end of the shoot.
Okay.
DENNINGS: Yeah no, I just can’t wait. Everytime…I remember when I had fittings like before I left I had a bunch of fittings and a bunch of hair and makeup tests and I was so excited. I would wake up like an hour or two early. Because I mean it’s Kenneth Brannagh man. I mean he is one of the greats. One of the legends.
Absolutely. You can only really think of him with something….Thor is so different and getting the guy who directed Hamlet.
DENNINGS: Yeah. I mean, it’s such an incredible idea. I mean he is the…first of all besides being obviously one of the greatest living actors, he’s the nicest man. The nicest, most wonderful man. I’m just so excited. I’m like everybody.
So I take it, are you a comic book geek?
DENNINGS: Yeah, totally. Totally, yes, yes, yes.
Have you sort of…is your character in the comics?
DENNINGS: No. She’s not. She’s a new invention. Yeah.
Okay. I believe I read, and correct me if I’m wrong, that your character is a friend of Natalie Portman’s character?
DENNINGS: Yeah. Yeah. I don’t know how much I can say.
Okay. Are you actually a god in the film?
DENNINGS: I can’t tell you…
Can’t tell me? Can’t tell me anything? Okay.
DENNINGS: No, I can’t tell you.
That’s fine. Are you prepared to go to Comic-Con with this movie?
DENNINGS: Oh God. If they need me to go, I’ll go. I don’t know if I’m going to have to go but if they…believe me I will do anything. I will follow Thor anywhere.
Excellent. Excellent.
DENNINGS: I hear Comic-Con is crazy.
It’s absolutely insane. I went last year and the “Iron Man” panel alone was just insane.
DENNINGS: Oh God.
Just one of the craziest moments ever.
DENNINGS: I can only imagine.
Yeah. So, is Thor going to be, do you know if it’s going to be a long shoot? I mean when are you planning to shoot and are you doing any movies in between?
DENNINGS: I just did…they started shooting in January, I believe. And I did a film…I just got back from doing another one. So yeah, I did one in between, but I am….yeah Thor is a very long shoot, but again, it has to be a long shoot. It’s an epic.
Right. Have you seen sort of any of the costumes or anything because a lot of people are wondering, you know, this one is so different from “Iron Man” or even “Captain America” because it’s taking place between two different worlds? It’s sort of like a weird mix of “Lord of the Rings” and “Spiderman” almost. At least that’s what it seems like from the plot synopsis.
DENNINGS: I don’t know, you know? I’ve seen some amazing, amazing things. And listen believe me, I’ve been where you are and wanting to know stuff because, you know, it’s Thor. It’s part of all of our childhood. But the thing is, I signed maybe 25 confidentiality agreements about this kind of thing.
Right, right. Okay.
DENNINGS: So I understand and I feel your pain, but I can’t tell you anything.
No, no I don’t want to press you on that. I definitely know they’re trying to keep it under wraps and I think you kind of have to.
DENNINGS: Listen to me, listen to me. It’s going to be worth every moment of waiting. I promise.
Matt: Okay. When they moved it back from this year to 2011, a part of me died inside.
DENNINGS: I know. Believe me like I’ve got so many frantic like fan-boy questions and I’ve been like “I understand. I’m so sorry. I wish I could say more, but I can’t.” But I assure you, like it far surpassed any of my wildest fantasies about what this movie could be. I mean it far surpassed it. It’s just going to be glorious.
