Chris Hemsworth Talks Age of Ultron, Loki on the Throne

News outlets are starting to get their embargoes lifted from set visits to Marvel's upcoming blockbuster Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Today, Collider released an interview with Thor actor Chris Hemsworth. Here are some of the major points.

When asked about the previous confrontations and fights Thor was in in The Avengers and if we would see more of the same, Hemsworth said, "We’re not as conflicted as we were before, I think.  He tags off with someone else though.  I think we sort of changed up there, and he has a pretty solid battle with… am I allowed to say? Yeah, with Iron Man in this one, which is cool.  It’s a lengthy fight scene of destruction."

Reporters went on to ask him about the fallout of Thor: The Dark World and Loki's presence on the Asgardian throne. Hemsworth said, "Up until kind of the third act or sort of halfway through he begins to have suspicions about what’s going on here or what this bigger picture is here and who’s involved.  He doesn't know by the end of it but he starts to think something’s not right here.  This is all a little too convenient why this has happened, which certainly points his focus back there."

When asked about the threat of Ultron and if large threats have any affect on Thor, Hemsworth said, "I think he openly admits, “I don’t think we’re going to win this one.”  Yeah, the threat is so great that I think all of them are sort of scratching their heads going, “Is this it?” rather than, “Okay, we have to kill this many things.”  It’s just an onslaught and it doesn’t stop.  It’s sort of an open sort of floodgate and what it could also set in motion is an even bigger threat. I think that’s what’s Thor’s kind of stuck on or where he is attention certainly is, an even bigger picture of Thor being from Asgard.  He can just say, “Hang on, there’s a whole universe here which is signaling something else.”

Hemsworth also teased what kind of fighting style Thor would have in Avengers: Age of Ultron saying, “You know, let’s make sure he’s picking up cars and throwing them and ripping things in half and spending a bit more time up in the air and using the elements as opposed to being stuck kind of in a hand-to-hand sort of fist fight with the bad guys.”  So yeah, I think it keeps getting kind of amped up and then the stunts become more elaborate.  Yeah, we see him fly a bit more."
