Mads Mikkelsen out of "Thor 2"

Not that he was ever officially "in" but it was assumed by many when Mikkelsen was in talks to assume the villain role for "Thor 2" that he'd sign on and all would proceed according to plan. But sometimes it doesn't work that way. In fact a lot of things aren't working that way for this sequel which has been flirting with the "problem production" label for several months now. In any event it's back to the drawing board (so to speak) for Marvel.

For his part Mikkelsen sounds maybe just a little pissed off at how things were handled by the studio. Here's a snippet from an interview he gave to Zoomin Movies.

“Yeah, that’s not happening unfortunately. I had a meeting with them, but they were a little too late. And then ‘Hannibal’ came in, and everything just came in the same period, so now it’s not happening.”

"Thor 2" is scheduled to begin principal photography in August.
