When asked how Branagh will be juggling his currant film schedule regarding his upcoming project's The Wallanders and Thor, Branagh had this to say:
"Well, I'm working currently on Thor for Marvel and we're planning that one. We're having a great time at the moment. We're in intense pre-production," Branagh states. "I shoot Thor in January of next year and because the time of release has been moved, it's allowed me to have a moment in the summer where I can shoot the Wallanders."
Branagh goes on to say:
"And, strangely, there's a weird, pleasing connection between the Swedish Wallander and the Nordic Thor. And as I've played a lot of Danish Hamlets, I feel as though my Scandinavian trilogy is forming."
Branagh also confirmed the casting rumor of his award winning co-star. Tom Hiddleston is being considered for a role in Thor. No word yet on what that role will be. Branagh states: "Tom Hiddleston is a great actor and he, amongst a number of others, has been part of the group we've spoken to and all that's still a work in progress."
Thor is scheduled for a release date of May 20, 2011.
