With a great chunk of filming already completed, the remainder of principal photography for Thor: The Dark World is said to be indoors, on sound stages at Shepperton Studios, rather than on-location. And one of the anticipated Marvel sequel's returning cast members, Heimdall actor Idris Elba, recently commented on the shoot's status and new additions to the cast, via Showbiz411.
Also, Lady Sif actress Jaimie Alexander recently took to Twitter to announce that she's returned to the Alan Taylor-directed production, over a month after sustaining an ankle injury while on-set. In addition, one of Thor: The Dark World's new cast members, Algrim/Kurse actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje also used Twitter to tease scenes he shared with two pivotal characters in the movie.
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.
Starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, Idris Elba, Christopher Eccleston, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Zachary Levi, Tadanobu Asano and Jaimie Alexander with Rene Russo & Anthony Hopkins as Odin, “Thor: The Dark World” is directed by Alan Taylor, produced by Kevin Feige, from a story by Don Payne (credit not final) and screenplay by Christopher Yost and Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely (credit not final) and is based on Marvel’s classic Super Hero Thor, who first appeared in the comic book “Journey into Mystery” #83 in August, 1962. “Thor: The Dark World” is presented by Marvel Studios.
