Just over a week after the first trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron debuted to the world, an interesting new tidbit has surfaced as Thor star Idris Elba says he will appear as Heimdall alongside Tom Hiddleston as Loki in next year’s sequel.
“I’m in Avengers,” Elba revealed to The Telegraph. “And I’m doing a scene with Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston, and they’re like, [whispers] – ‘Aren’t you [meant to be] in Ibiza?’”
Elba took on a DJ in residence role at Ibiza Rocks off the coast of Spain during the summer, putting the time of his stint on the set of “Age of Ultron” near the end of filming as production wrapped up on the sequel back in early August. What do you think of this reveal that not only Heimdall but also Loki will appear in the film? Sound off below!
