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!"

Report from Deadline..
20th Century Fox has rounded out the cast of X-Men: First Class, and the big surprise is that Mad Men star January Jones has been signed to play the role of Emma Frost, the gorgeous mutant with telepathic powers.
At the same time, director Matthew Vaughn has set Zoe Kravitz to play Angel, Jason Flemyng will play Azazel, the father of Nightcrawler; Bill Milner to play the young version of Magneto (Michael Fassbender), and Morgan Lily to play the Young Raven.
we assume Deadline meant Storm..more on that in the update below. Anyway, there is also the change over from Alice Eve to Mad Men's January Jones. It was widely believed that Eve was official but apparently no deal was ever signed. Also some extra casting of the young Magneto(Bill Milner) in there too. Kravitz(daughter of Lenny) has previously appeared in No Reservations and The Brave One. Milner is a young English actor you may recognize if you happened to see the pretty damn good Son Of Rambow. Awww, ickle Magneto and Mystique! Now taking bets on the next character to get the diaper treatment.
Update: Ok, its been brought to my attention that Kravitz could be playing a different Angel altogether, Angel Salvador(Tempest;..another word for Storm, Thanks P862010 ). Stay tuned until we get to the bottom of this anyway!

Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) Contemplates Directing Deadpool!
Last week Rob Liefeld sent the Deadpool fan base into a backspin with his tweets regarding the much anticipated Deadpool film.
Now, John Horn for the LA Times Hero Complex is reporting that he talked with Robert Rodriguez on Monday and Rodriguez is still deciding on whether or not he will direct the Deadpool film. Roriguez has reportedly been in meetings with Twentieth Century Fox about directing and had this to say about the screenplay “It’s a great script and a great property."
This from Hero Complex...
Rodriguez, who just finished the final sound mix of "Machete," sounded gung ho about "Deadpool" but added that he is still debating his next project. “I’m just working everything out,” Rodriguez said, noting that he is choosing between three options for his next directing job. He said one is the long-discussed "Sin City 2" but he declined to name the other, though it could be "Nerveracker," a far-future thriller that was announced last year but hasn't moved as quickly as anticipated.
"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.

Mark Strong talks about his character Sinestro in the Green Lantern Movie, as well as the other alien Green Lanterns (Tomar-Re & Kilowog)
Green Lantern fans has been privy to the first images of Mark Strong
as Sinestro, as well as CGI renderings of Lantern Corps members Tomar-Re and Kilowog. In a brief interview with MTV News, Strong talks about his role in the film:
"[Most of my scenes are in space], indeed, which is why I've come in at the end of shooting. Because now we've moved into the studio and into blue screen — obviously not green screen, because Green Lantern would disappear! We're in blue screen, and most of [my work takes place] in space."
Regarding his thoughts about the alien designs he has seen so far:
"Tomar-Re is in [the movie] and it's an amazing look — kind of half-bird and half-fish. Kilowog is in it and he's a massive, great, big bulldog kind of character. There are others, too, but I won't ruin it."
Of course, fans don't have to wait any longer to see these Green Lantern characters for themselves. Simply follow the links above to get a look at both Tomar-Re and Kilowog.
