New Images and Plot Details - Thor: The Dark World
Chris Hemsworth and executive producer, Kevin Feige, recently spoke with USA TODAY and revealed some interesting plot points for the movie coming to theaters in November.
Ok, well remember how in the self-titled 2011 movie Thor had leave Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) on Earth so he could return home and deal with his family and it didn't seem like he would be coming back any time soon? Remember how in last summer's The Avengers, Thor magically came back to Earth to help deal with Loki and we never see him call Jane or chat with her on Skype? Yeah. He has some explaining to do.
"Thor still has lot of explaining to do, and a lot of making up. Even demigods end up in the doghouse, mate. So none of us is safe," Hemsworth.
Jane's life will be in danger and Thor will have to bring her to Asgard. "So while Thor was a fish out of water on Earth in the first two films (Thor and The Avengers), this time Jane is very much a fish out of water in Asgard," says Feige.
As you can imagine, it won't be all sunshine and rainbow bridges when Thor brings his Earth-girlfriend home. Jane will have to meet Thor's parents. So you know that whole not being good enough for your significant other's parents? Thor's mom, Frigga (Rene Russ), is the Goddess of Love, Beauty, and Marriage and Childbirth and papa Odin (Anthony Hopkins) is the Supreme God.
And lest we forget Thor's on-again/off-again Asgard-girlfriend, the warrior goddess, Sif played by Jaime Alexander.
"It's superhero action, but it's the familiar territory of a love triangle where the parents think your girlfriend is wrong for you," says Feige. "That's how the best of these movies work."
Every good super hero film needs a villain. Thor: The Dark World gets the Dark Elf Malekit played by the 9th Doctor himself, Christopher Eccleston. Malekit threatens Earth and Asgard and Thor will have show he can do more than just hit things with a hammer.
"I really wanted to ramp up his skill set in battle," says Hemsworth. "He's not just this Viking throwing the hammer. Here he's more demigod with dynamic moves we haven't seen before."
Not only will Thor have to step up his fighting game, but he's going to need some help. He's going to have to stop by Asgard-Jail and ask his brother for some help.
"Needing Loki's help turns everything on its head," says Hemsworth. "And it allows us to explore the underlying complexities of their relationship. It really ends up being a kind of chess match."And don't worry about Loki not being as awesome and dastardly as he has been in previous movies. Kevin Feige says, "Tom has built and shaped one of the best movie villains in years with many, many layers. It will be very difficult for Loki to lose the villain status. He has that firmly in hand."
Thor: The Dark World will hit theaters on November 8th, 2013.
