Kevin Feige Talks New Villain for Thor 2, Confirms It Won’t Be Thanos
6 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The success of Marvel's The Avengers has allowed the comic book universe to introduce its rogues gallery to theater-going audiences, bringing in such extraterrestrial villains as Thanos, the Mad Titan. Thor was the first of the recent Marvel movies to use other-worldly magic as a power source instead of Tony Stark's technology in Iron Man or the science behind the genesis of Captain America and the Hulk. In a recent interview, Kevin Feige confirmed that the death-obsessed Eternal would not be making an appearance in Thor 2; another big villain would be stepping in. We know that Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman will reprise the roles of Thor and Jane Foster respectively (not to mention the return of Idris Elba as Heimdall). We also know that Tom Hiddleston will return as Loki, but that's not a new big villain. And we know Mads Mikkelsen is set to play a villain, »

Now that The Avengers is out of the way, Marvel Studios is pressing ahead with subsequent solo instalments in the Cinematic Universe, beginning with the Shane Black-directed Iron Man 3. With principal photography getting underway this past Wednesday in Wilmington, North Carolina, further casting news has now emerged, starting with confirmation that Iron Man and Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau has closed a deal to reprise his on-screen role as Happy Hogan, joining fellow returnees Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark / Iron Man), Gwyneth Paltrow (Pepper Potts), Don Cheadle (Rhodey) and Paul Bettany (voice of Jarvis).
In addition to Favreau, it has also been reported that Ashley Hamilton (Sunset Beach) is in talks to join the cast in the role of Firepower, which Variety describes as “a small part”.

Our weekly round-up of all the big news stories from the world of movie superheroes…
Having made way for Disney's marketing blitz on The Avengers these past couple of months, Warner Bros. stepped up the promotional campaign for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises in a big way this week, flooding the world wide web with a host of Bat-related goodies. It began with a new theatrical poster, and while this left some fans underwhelmed, the studio more than made amends over the next few days, starting with six character posters showcasing Batman (Christian Bale), Bane (Tom Hardy) and Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway), along with a 'secret' Catwoman design that was discovered tucked away on the official website. Of course, this was just the beginning, and soon we had two new TV spots consisting of snippets of previously unseen footage, in addition to a whole raft of images featuring Bruce Wayne / Batman, »

"Thor 2" : Jaimie Alexander Coming Back As 'Sif'
26 May 2012 8:35 AM, PDT | SneakPeek | See recent SneakPeek news »
Actress Jaimie Alexander, who played Norse warrior goddess 'Sif' in the 2011 feature "Thor", will return as Sif for "Thor 2", in a 3D comic book adaptation that intends to have a more 'Viking' influence than the first film.
'Sif' is the character appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics, based on the mythological Norse goddess of the same name, debuting in Marvel's "Journey Into Mystery" #102 (1964), as an 'Asgardian' warrior and lover of 'Thor', who spends much of her time worrying about him and accompanying him into battle.
Alexander confirmed that she will return as the character for director Alan Taylor ("Game of Thrones") looking to have Sif's romance with Thor rekindled.
"Thor 2" is being produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, as the eighth installment in the 'Marvel Cinematic Universe'.
Screenplay is by Don Payne and Robert Rodat, with Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, »

Keep the billion-status Avengers momentum rolling! THR is reporting that veteran danish actor Mads Mikkelsen is in negotiations for a role in the upcoming Thor sequel from Marvel Studios, which is set to be directed by Alan Taylor, one of the directors of HBO’s Game of Thrones. While no details of the role were mentioned in the report, Mikkelsen is circling a role that would have him join Tom Hiddleston’s Loki as a Thor 2 antagonist.

Iron Man 3 And Thor 2 Attract Villains
25 May 2012 1:00 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
The Avengers is still raking in millions but Marvel have their eyes on their next installments, namely Iron Man 3 and Thor 2. Small plot details have been circulating for a while now and today we have a few new pieces for our superhero jigsaw.
First up, Thor 2. It’s known that Tom Hiddleston will be returning in some capacity as Loki (most recently seen getting the crap beaten out of him by Hulk) but Casino Royale star Mads Mikkelsen is in talks to join the cast as an unnamed villain. If he’ll steal Loki’s crown as lead bad guy, team up or be completely unconnected is unclear. More news as it comes in.
Meanwhile, Iron Man 3 is also adding a villain to their cast. Ashley Hamilton (star of 1993 canine classic Beethoven’S 2Nd) is rumoured to feature as Firepower. Means nothing to me either so »

Mads Mikkelsen to Play Villain in Thor 2; Will Anthony Hopkins Return or Skip for Red 2?
25 May 2012 12:02 PM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen has made a living out of playing villains — in the U.S. anyway. After breaking into English-language movies in 2006's Casino Royale, Mikkelsen most recently appeared as the villain Rochefort in The Three Musketeers. Mikkelsen will continue this trend in Thor 2. Variety reports that the actor is in talks to play an undisclosed villain in the movie.
While Loki (Tom Hiddleston) is also set to return, Marvel president Kevin Feige has already revealed that Loki won't be the primary villain in the sequel like he was in Thor and The Avengers. Instead, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) will be tackling "another big villain," likely played by Mikkelsen.

'Thor 2' Gains Mads Mikkelsen As A New Villain
25 May 2012 9:14 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Why can't Thor and Loki just get along? Maybe the third time's the charm in "Thor 2," since a new actor is in talks to play the villain in the movie.
Variety is reporting that Mads Mikkelsen is in talks to play the bad guy in "Thor 2," though we don't have any details as to who that will be. So far he is the first new cast member we've heard of who is coming to the Marvel project.
When we heard that Loki would be returning to the Marvel universe following his defeat in "The Avengers," we assumed that he would be "Thor 2's" villain as well. But now that we have found out that someone else is playing the movie's Big Bad, we wonder if it might finally be time for Loki to help his older brother instead of thwart him.

Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) is in talks to star as the villain in Thor 2 with details on what character still unclear as Tom Hiddleston will still have a big part as the franchise antagonist, Loki. Production on the pic is set to get underway this summer with Alan Taylor ("Game of Thrones") directing for a November 15, 2013 release. [source] Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight Rises) is set to join the cast of Jose Padilha's RoboCop remake as Norton, the scientist who turns Officer Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) into Robocop and finds himself torn between the ideals of the machine trying to rediscover its humanity and the callous needs of a corporation. The film is expected to begin filming in September in Toronto for an August 9, 2013 release.

Last week, we brought you Chris Hemsworth’s thoughts on the sibling rivalry between his character, Thor, and his adopted little brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and how this dynamic continues to evolve into Thor 2. Now, it looks like Loki will be getting some company to antagonize Thor in this sequel.
Variety reports that Walt Disney Pictures and Marvel Studios is negotiating with Mads Mikkelsen (The Hunt, Casino Royale) to star as “one of the villains” in the Alan Taylor (Game of Thrones) helmed sequel with script by Don Payne (Thor, Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer) and Robert Rodat (Falling Skies, Saving Private Ryan.)

Mikkelsen is a spectacular actor and should fit in rather nicely indeed. »

Thor 2 might be behind Iron Man 3 in Marvel's production calendar, but the the Norse God isn't about to let Tony Stark steal all his, erm, thunder, with the announcement that Mads Mikkelsen is set to join the cast as a new villain. Mikkelsen is currently wowing Cannes with his turn in The Hunt, and Variety reports that the Danish star will play a currently unnamed antagonist in the forthcoming sequel.

Marvel Lines Up Potential Villains for Iron Man 3 and Thor 2
24 May 2012 7:39 PM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
With the wild success of The Avengers earlier this month, the Marvel machine is moving ahead stronger than ever as the studio preps for more sequels. Today we've received word on the villainous side of things for Iron Man 3 and Thor 2. Let's start off with Iron Man 3, which brings an odd choice to the table. Variety reports that former Dancing with the Stars contestant Ashley Hamilton (son of George) is in talks to play a character named Firepower who, in the comics, was a pilot of an experimental armoured suit, eventually doing battle with Iron Man. Now, before anyone jumps to conclusions, apparently the part will be relatively small, so we'll see how it fits into the overall narrative. Hopefully we won't be seeing another villain who turns into the equivalent of the hero again. It's also worth noting that Jon Favreau has been confirmed to return as Happy Hogan. »

'Casino Royale' Villain Mads Mikkelsen Takes 'Thor 2' Bad Guy Role
24 May 2012 7:36 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Now that Marvel has firmed up not one, but three different villains for Iron Man 3, it's time that the other Marvel Studios blockbuster for 2013 got some casting as well. Variety has word that Mads Mikkelsen, likely most recognized for playing the blood-crying villain Le Chiffre in the Casino Royale with Daniel Craig, will be playing an unknown villain in Thor 2. However, don't count out Tom Hiddleston as Loki since the trade also says the mischievous brother of Thor will still have a big part as the sequel's antagonist. And for those who have seen The Avengers (hell, who hasn't?), there should be plenty of tension back at Asgard. Frankly, I'm not well-versed enough with the world of Thor to venture a guess as to who Mikkelsen might be playing, but maybe the fact that Loki is still involved gives us a hint? Or does Mikkelsen's Danish background give »

Not content to sit back and enjoy the breeze coming off its ka-ching-ing runaway hit The Avengers, Marvel announced today that it's in negotiations with Mads Mikkelsen to star opposite Chris Hemsworth in Thor 2. Mikkelsen, who plays blood-weeping Bond villain Le Chiffre in Casino Royale, will join Tom Hiddleston's Loki in the Norse villain's circle. No news yet on Mikkelsen's character—although Surtr, the fire-sword-wielding giant, is still available. »
