Interview with "Lady Sif" from Marvel Movie THOR

Here's an interview done by ComicBookMovie Contributor:

Pietro Filipponi: You're no stranger to the action genre, but would you consider THOR to be a step above the other projects you've worked on to date?

Jaimie Alexander: It most certainly was was step above, I've always loved action movies and am so grateful to be a part of this one.

PF: How long were you on set filming Thor, and how would you sum up your overall experience?

JA: Well, I began training [for my role] in October of 2009 and we started filming in January 2010.. We filmed all the way through.

PF: How intensively did you did you have to train for your role? What would you say was the most difficult part of production?

JA: The training was rough, I trained around 2 to 3 hours everyday.. Weight lifting, cardio, and [sometimes] yoga. The stunt training was my favorite! Learning weaponry skills and such.. I'd say fighting in my hero costume was the toughest part of all. It was rather restricting in certain areas and quite heavy.

PF: How was it like being in that armor day after day?

JA: The armor was rough to wear sometimes but very beautiful. I've never seen costumes so elaborate in detail.. So incredible.

PF: We saw a bit of you in action during the Comic Con footage, what would you say is Sif's weapon of choice in the film?

JA: Well, she has three [different weapons], but I can't tell you what they are just yet.

PF: Even though her proper name is Lady Sif, would you say the character is considered 'one of the guys'?

JA: She most definitely is "one of the guys".. She's a very talented, skilled warrior and can stand on her own against any villain in the film.

PF: Definitely as tough as in the comics, but there's also a softer side to her. How would you categorize her relationship with Thor (Chris Hemsworth) in the film?

JA: She is very loyal to Thor and cares a lot about protecting him and protecting Asgard.. As for a possible love relationship you'll just have to wait and see the movie. My lips are sealed!

PF: Three words to describe the film version of Sif. Go!

JA: Hmm.. Stoic, intense, powerful.

PF: Did you get to sneak any souvenirs away from the set?

JA: Just memories.. Good memories [laughs]

PF: What was your favorite part of filming and what do you most look forward to seeing in the theatrical release of the film?

JA: My favorite part of filming was showing up every morning seeing the people I work with and the smiles on their faces. We had an incredible cast and crew and I miss them all the time.

I'm [looking forward] to seeing the finished product come to life.. We all worked so hard and I believe it will show.

PF: What are you working on between Marvel projects and when can we expect to see you don the Sif armor again?

JA: I just finished shooting an independent film called Loosies with Peter Facinelli, it was such a great experience. I'm looking forward to it's release next year. If THOR does well, you will definitely see more of Sif on the big screen.

Chris Hemsworth the man who will be Thor talks about his Character, Costume And Hammer!

On Competing With His Brother For The Role:

"Liam and I both auditioned for it, funny enough. I had an audition, didn't hear anything. The next minute I heard they were flying Liam over to meet Kenneth and he was down to the last four guys, and I was like, 'What?' And then I got another phone call from Branagh and was like, 'Shit, Liam. What worked, what didn't? Tell me what he said! I got some advice, and ...here we are."

On The Costume:

"The costume is...is a big heavy chain mail, leather costume. But when it's me, it's me. I put on 20 pounds and then lost a lot of it since then purely from not eating as much."

On The Pressure Of Playing A Character Like Thor:

"There's a lot of pressure with something that's existed for so many years before you were involved and already has a fan base, but you don't let it affect the way you approach the film. For me, I approached it as you do it the best you can, whether it's a small film or something big like this. It's exciting and daunting."

On Thor's Personality In The Movie:

"It's an ongoing battle, taming this berserk warrior that's in him. Certainly that's a big part of this film. He still has to be that warrior, that's what makes him Thor. But also, you don't want to watch a guy onscreen for too long that's a jerk all the time. You can have moments of it, 'hey, that's kind of cool, and bad', but then it just gets old."

On Wielding Mjolnir:

"It has this big huge head on it, and a tiny little handle. The fighting becomes very gritty, kind of street-fighting sort of stuff at times. Thor just happens to have a big ole Hammer in his hands, as well."

On Whether He Took The Hammer Home With Him:

"I did ...nah, well, not officially. I mean, I certainly talked to a lot of people about it...but I forgot to take it!"

"Loki" Actor Talks About Asgard and Jotunheim Sets!

MTV chatted with Tom Hiddleston who will portray Loki in the upcoming Marvel movie THOR at this years Comic Con. Here are the interesting things he has to say about the sets of both Asgard and Jotunheim.

"The Asgard sets were like walking through a futuristic palace. They'd matched the size of the spaces to the size of the studio, so it felt like you were walking through the gorgeous palaces of a shining city in the sky."

"I actually loved Jotunheim," he said. "It was the first set we were on. Jotunheim is where the Frost Giants live, who are the mortal enemies of Asgardians."

"It's basically a planet that is made of ice. If you can picture any alpine region like the French Alps or the Rockies or something — it's kind of like that on acid, it's just bigger and spikier and I loved all that. They had really realistic ice flows and snow and mountains and dripping water."

Hiddleston also hinted that he got to see some action while on the Jotunheim set...

"That was when I pulled out some of my big moves."

Hawksblueyes: I can't help but get more excited about this movie every time I see something new.

Tom Hiddleston On His Mischievous Performance In Marvel's THOR

Would you say the dynamic between Thor and Loki is a love, hate type of relationship?
Entirely. I think Loki grows up with an older brother who he loves and respects. They play, they banter and they bash each other about, but there is a latent jealousy. Craig Kyle – one of our producers – always used to talk about the analogy of the quarterback and the artist. Thor is the quarterback. He’s a chip off the old block and he’s just like his dad. Loki’s problem is, maybe not his problem, but [that] he’s more drawn to the powers of intellect, magic, and the dark arts.

He’s not going to be out in the fields throwing a hammer around. That’s just not where his passion lies. There’s a disconnect with Odin and there’s a disconnect with Thor. He loves them very much, but he’s not just made of the same stalk. In the course of the film there’s a big reveal both for Loki and the audience about the truth of Loki’s true lineage and who his real parents are. I think that begets any jealous that was within him towards Thor develops into a dark, cancerous rage that then becomes a destructive rage.

Did that help you find a truth with Loki rather than just playing the straight, typical and easy bad guy?
He’s certainly not an anarchist who wants to burn the house down. I think he has an inner conviction. He loves a practical joke, he loves mischief and he loves playing around. He loves starting a bonfire in the next room and hearing people scream, but nobody would be killed. After he finds out his whole life has been a lie and that he doesn’t belong anywhere there’s a very truthful psychological root that you could see is motivated by pain.

He’s motivated by an anger and by being left out in the cold. He doesn’t seem to have anyone that loves him or truly appreciates him. Essentially, he’s competing with Thor for the love and acceptance from Odin as a son. Maybe [it's] a huge sci-fi, fantastical epic set in the norse heaven of Asgard, but when you boil it down it’s a story about a dad and two boys. Those two boys are warring for that father’s love and that’s where the villainy, aggression and rage comes from.

Could you talk a bit about the tone of your performance and how the costume itself affects it? It is a very extravagant look.
The tone of my performance… I suppose the tone of my performance is up to Kenneth [Branagh] right now (laughs). He hasn’t finished cutting it up, but I gave him lots of options and I gave him a lot of relish with that mischief is glee and that [there's] a real twinkle in his eye that he takes in being a badass, as you guys are fond of saying.

There’s a vulnerability there to show that this guy is hurting deeply inside. It’s funny, with the performance in the costume I found myself quite often on my own sometimes on set. Quite often in the scenes Loki is off with an energy on his own. There’s a lot of banter going on with the warriors three, Sif, and actually, Loki is not a part of that. Oddly, during the shooting of it I’d find myself in my own little world cooking up a particular flavor, but a particular type of flavor.


Hiddleston starring alongside Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Anthony Hopkins (Odin), Ray Stevenson (Volstagg), and Natalie Portman (Jane Foster), THOR storms into theaters in 3D May 6, next summer.
