Volgende week zal Thors Mjölnir weer flink wat schade aanrichten in het grootse superheldenspektakel The Avengers. Als het team superhelden de strijd met Loki en zijn "manschappen" heeft gestreden, dan moeten de fans wachten tot 2013 voor de volgende Marvel avonturen. Ook Thor keert dan terug voor een nieuw avontuur. De website /Film sprak hoofdrolspeler Chris Hemsworth over de sequel.

Hemsworth zegt het script al te hebben gelezen en dat hij regisseur Alan Taylor, bekend van de tv-serie Game of Thrones, al ontmoet heeft:

I have read a script and we start shooting in August. I met with Alan Taylor a couple of months ago and Natalie Portman and I and Alan and a couple of Marvel guys and it was hugely exciting. Ken [Branagh] did such a wonderful job and, with scheduling or what have you, he didn’t end up doing this one, but I’m a big fan of the GAME OF THRONES series, which is Alan’s latest work, and I think that is what’s exciting about the second one: making it sort of more tangible and having a more organic feel to Asgard and that world. I think the science fiction element to THOR… the danger is it falls a little bit into the world of it’s “tough to throw a light to.” I think of big waterfalls and mountains and a Viking influence, where the Norse mythology kind of grew from. Having that in Asgard is going to make it all the more special and that’s what Alan wants to bring to it. I think that would be the new aspect to this one.

Tegenover Collider vertelt Marvel baas Kevin Feige ook e.e.a. over de superheldenfilm, die vanaf 14 november 2013 in de Nederlandse bioscoop te zien is:

[Thor's maturity] is sort of the crux of the whole sequel and it’s what Hemsworth is most excited about diving into, and it’s what is the heart of story; it’s Thor and Jane, to continue that dynamic. Really they were only together for three days, and do they love each other? Do they like each other? Do they know each other? We’re acknowledging that that love story in the first movie was sort of a quick crush, essentially, over the course of three quick days in the middle of the desert. And [the heart of the movie is also] the relationship between Thor and Odin, which does change drastically as it did over the course of the first movie, and picks up and continues from there.
