- THOR 2 LOSES ROYALE
With a month or so to go before production is about to begin
on Thor 2, it appears that Marvel is in the midst of casting the film’s
villain. Back in May, it was reported
that Casino Royale baddie Mads Mikkelsen had entered negotiations to play the
unspecified villain in director Alan Taylor’s Marvel follow-up.

Then in June, we learned that Mikkelsen had nabbed the role
of Hannibal Lecter on Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller’s highly anticipated
NBC prequel series Hannibal.
When this story hit, I was wondering how Mikkelson would be
able to fit both these roles in his scheduled but it seems he wont.
Recently we learned that David Slade had to drop out of
directing Fox’s Daredevil reboot because he’s committed to helming the Hannibal
pilot and Fox has to get a move-on with Daredevil in order to avoid losing the
character rights. Mikkelsen broke the
news of his Thor 2 non-involvement in an interview with Zoomin Movies (via The
Playlist):
“Yeah, that’s not happening unfortunately. I had a meeting
with them, but they were a little too late. And then Hannibal came in, and
everything just came in the same period, so now it’s not happening.”
Thor 2 starts filming in London soon. Thor 2 is slated for
release on November 8th.
