Moving the production from England to Iceland recently, filming for
Thor: The Dark World picked up today in the Nordic island country. And Twitter has revealed the presence of actors Chris Hemsworth,
Tom Hiddleston,
Christopher Eccleston,
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and
Zachary Levi. However, the shoot's inclusion of Lady Sif actress Jaimie Alexander isn't expected, even though the Marvel sequel's script may have entailed it; initially.
Alexander, 28, revealed on Twitter last month that she sustained quite an injury while on

scenic areas that'll be used, the sequences are likely pivotal. What do you think?
Marvel Studios’ “Thor: The Dark World” continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself. In the aftermath of Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s The Avengers,” Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos…but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all.
