Feige is quoted as saying, “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.”Loki Is Not The Main Villain In Thor 2 – According to Feige, Loki does have a part in Thor 2. However, he’s already played the main villain twice in Marvel Studios films, so it doesn’t look like he will get a third run.

Instead, Alan Taylor of Games of Thrones fame will be the new director.Thor 2 To Go Viking Style – In an interview with SlashFilm, Chris Hemsworth revealed that Thor 2 will have a Viking look. Hemsworth is quoted as saying, “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.”Thor The Dark World movie is scheduled to be released in theaters in the United States on November 8, 2013.
