The return of the Avenger from Asgard is almost here! Chris Hemsworth reprises his role as the God of Thunder in Thor: The Dark World. The Odinson must let Loki (Tom Hiddleston) out of his prison and form an uneasy alliance against an unholy enemy.
I always thought translating Norse Gods would be Marvel’s toughest feat but it worked before. Marvel Studios Boss Kevin Feige tells Huffington Post what makes Thor work on the big screen.
“Well, I think Chris Hemsworth is one of those main keys, to find an actor who is as charismatic and entertaining to watch as he is. And it’s also making him as relatable as a Norse near-immortal being be, which we found works in his relationship with his family. And his relationship with Jane, which is very human and very relatable. And certainly his relationship with his brother in this movie.”
As for a Thor 3?
“Well, that’s up to the audience. But, if people want one, we have ideas for what it can be. That’s for sure.”
When asked about Thanos being used as a “mastermind behind the scenes” villain in Avengers and possibly Avengers: Age of Ultron – Feige response could be telling about what Thor villains might turn up in a third film.
“…you look at some classic story lines in the comics and they tease out characters like that — big bads like that — for sometimes years. I think Walter Simonson was teasing Surter for years before he popped up. It’s fun to have the luxury to build somebody up like that.”
Surtur was a giant fire demon from one of the Nine Realms. The villain was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby but the mighty Walt Simonson used him in his legendary Thor run.
Thor faces Malekith, Kurse and the Dark Elves in Thor: The Dark World opening November 8th.
I’m hoping for Fafnir, Amora the Enchantress and Hela for a possible third solo film!
