All I know is Mikkelsen is a great actor and he should make for a solid adversary to the mighty Thor. And for those who have seen The Avengers (hell, who hasn't?), there should be plenty of tension back at Asgard.įrankly, I'm not well-versed enough with the world of Thor to venture a guess as to who Mikkelsen might be playing, but maybe the fact that Loki is still involved gives us a hint? Or does Mikkelsen's Danish background give us insight into his role? Comic book experts will have to sound off in the comments below with suggestions, hopes and dreams. However, don't count out Tom Hiddleston as Loki since the trade also says the mischievous brother of Thor will still have a big part as the sequel's antagonist. Variety has word that Mads Mikkelsen, likely most recognized for playing the blood-crying villain Le Chiffre in the Casino Royale with Daniel Craig, will be playing an unknown villain in Thor 2. Now that Marvel has firmed up not one, but three different villains for Iron Man 3, it's time that the other Marvel Studios blockbuster for 2013 got some casting as well.
