[Movies] Tom Hiddleston Discusses Thor: The Dark World Posted by Larry Csonka on 11.26.2012
And working with a new director…
- Tom Hiddleston recently spoke about working with a new director on Thor: The Dark World. Here are the highlights…
On Alan Taylor Directing Thor: The Dark World: "Ken established the tone, so we've taken the baton and kept running. Alan Taylor is fantastic, one of the men responsible for 'Game of Thrones' which is so of that world, a very grounded, gritty, earthy world where warriors and swords and monsters and magic all meet, so his experience of that has given him a fantastic take on the whole world of Thor. He was refashioning those archetypes in space. We talked about King Lear and that kind of dynastic drama, about succession, with somebody at the top of the tree, and somebody else due to succeed the throne, there's always a wrestling if it's father and son… it's all very dynastic."
On Working With a New Director: "I went to a summer screening of a Marvel short film. Ken came and so did Alan, it was very clear how much mutual respect between them and I thought, ‘ok, it's going to be fine.'"
Is There an Update on a 3rd Thor Film?: "These kind of films, not to get too heavy about it, all depend on the financial success of the one before, so we'll have to see."
