In an interview about his role in the English-language adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and his newest Swedish-language film, A Somewhat Gentle Man, the actor was once again quizzed about his role in Marvel Studios' Thor and what it was that made him decide to accept a role in a comic book movie.



"I chose 'Thor' because of director Kenneth Branagh. The script was nice and we got to rehearse and talk to the writers and do some collaborating in the process to make it fit us. So I had a very happy time on it. What I always try to do is immediately do something I just haven’t done so I get variation in my life. I’ve made about 90 films and if I did the same thing over and over again I would be bored by now. I try to pick different films, I go and do those big ones and having done that I can usually afford to go and do some really small obscure films and experiment a little."


Thor stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston and Anthony Hopkins with a release date set for May 4, 2011 in 3D!
