Speaking recently with Static, Portman said she absolutely loves the science fiction and fantasy films and the humour the Marvel franchise brings to audiences:
"I think one of the reasons the Marvel movies do so well is that they keep the comedy amid the action and the drama that is part of these films as well and they keep it entertaining. It’s more like life: even in the worst situations, always making jokes to lighten things up. I really love getting to go into these places that I would just never be able to come up with on my own, and it’s not how my brain works. So just to enter these worlds is so magical and it brings you back to being a kid where you could just have a complete fantastical world."In the second trailer, fans were treated to a scene where Jane clocked Loki, saying "That was for New York." Most fans probably got a good laugh out of that scene, and as it turns out, that hit wasn't fake:
"It was actually a punch. We did a few that were fake, but they could tell because I am just bad at that. (laughs) So there were a few real ones because they were like, ‘you are just a little girl, you really can’t hurt him’. So I don’t know, he acted like he could handle it, but I think I actually hurt him."
There have been rumours circulating that we could lose a character in TDW, and with genius extraordinaire Joss Whedon at the helm of the Marvel brand, especially the films in Phase Two, we know to expect humour and the possibility of major character deaths. I'm sure most of us are aware of one of his more infamous quotes...
“Make it dark, make it grim, make it tough, but then, for the love of God, tell a joke.”
And with a title of 'The Dark World', we'll likely be seeing the characters go to uncomfortable places we haven't seen in a Marvel movie before. While the first installment of 'Thor' seemed to surprise most Marvel fans, it looks as if the second has the chance to surpass the success of its predacessor. "Thor: The Dark Word' will hit theatres in North America on November 8th.
