“We have six weeks to go to shoot,” said Hemsworth “This is the trickiest bit, because you can go, ‘Oh, yeah, we’re past the halfway mark!’ which isn’t a good idea, because you’re not finished yet. You sort of get that second wind about now or you hope to and push on through. But it’s been great. The look of the film is a lot bigger than what we did even previously. The first one worked and people loved it, but this is with a different director and just has a totally different feel. There’s a definite “Game of Thrones” vibe thanks to [director] Alan [Taylor].”
They asked him about if there would be a rift between Thor and Natalie Portman’s Jane for not saying ‘Hi’ while on Earth for The Avengers.
“Definitely. For Thor and Jane, there are some unanswered questions now, since obviously he didn’t stop in and catch up with her in ‘Avengers.’ Thor might have some explaining to do in this one….There’s some fun to be had with that…And with Loki, we get down to the major bones of our conflict with everything that’s come from ‘Thor’ to ‘Avengers’ to now.”
The subject then turned to his next project, Robopocalypse, with Steven Spielberg which Hemsworth is very excited about. “No one does sci-fi better than him. It was a no-brainer. And then I read the script and was even more excited if that’s possible.”
In Thor: The Dark World, 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. It’s slated for a November 8, 2013 release.
Robopocalypse is planned to shoot next year for an April 25, 2014 release.
