Although the details of the storyline have been kept under wraps, Thor 2 will focus once again on the fractious relationship between Thor and his adopted brother Loki, played by British actor Tom Hiddleston.

Fans of the first movie will know that Thor was betrayed by his sibling on more than one occasion, and it seems as though that subject matter will continue on into the sequel.

Talking about the follow-up movie recently, Chris said of Thor and Loki’s relationship: ‘It’s what I loved about the comics. It was never clean and cut and that’s it. It was always like, Thor would forgive him, they’d be friends, and Loki would betray him again. “You idiot, Thor! Again?”‘
