Hiddleston has been speaking to the Belfast Telegraph, via ComicBookMovie, and has said that the sequel to last year’s Thor [...]
In recent years we have seen Hollywood tap a variety of different resources in its ongoing search for new ideas. Stopping just short of sticking its hand down the side of the sofa and rummaging for loose inspiration, Tinseltown has instead chosen to adapt everything from the usual books, video games and television shows, to [...]
The first of our superhero films from Marvel this year, Thor was an impressive box office and critical success when it came out in April this year, taking just shy of $450m. from its $150m. budget. Pretty much ever since it found such success in cinemas, there’s been talk of a sequel, and it officially [...]

Green Lantern is an unknown quantity to most of us, without years of pop-culture osmosis and numerous previous big screen versions to get us familiar with the Guardians of the Universe or the Planet Oa and the Green Lantern Corps.

But we mustn’t forget some of the other epic comic films coming up including Thor 2, due for release in 2013. Chris [...]
Back in July, we got the news that Kenneth Branagh wouldn’t be returning to helm Thor 2 after his fantastic direction on the first film.
