Fans of Game of Thrones will be lining up around corners to catch Thor 2 (otherwise known as Thor: The Dark World), if Chris Hemsworth's claims are anything to go by.

"The look of the film is a lot bigger than what we did even previously... The first one worked and people loved it, but this is with a different director and just has a totally different feel. There's a definite Game Of Thrones vibe thanks to [director] Alan [Taylor]... We have six weeks to go to shoot. This is the trickiest bit, because you can go, 'Oh, yeah, we're past the halfway mark!' which isn't a good idea, because you're not finished yet. You sort of get that second wind about now or you hope to and push on through."

And as for the distinct lack of Natalie Portman's character in The Avengers earlier this year, the buff Aussie actor says: "For Thor and Jane, there are some unanswered questions now, since obviously he didn't stop in and catch up with her in Avengers. Thor might have some explaining to do in this one… There's some fun to be had with that. And with Loki, we get down to the major bones of our conflict with everything that's come from Thor to Avengers to now."

Excited? Thor 2 hits cinemas on the 8th of November 2013. So just under a year to go. Hurray!
