Sure, “The Avengers” movie — which will be released in the U.S. this Friday after already breaking box office records all over the world this past weekend — may be your most eagerly anticipated movie event of the year, but some fans might be just a little let-down by the absence of one of the team’s founding members in the comics, Janet Van Dyne, AKA the Wasp. Turns out, however, the heroine almost made the cut…
“The Avengers” villain Loki is menacing and mad, but the actor who plays him, Tom Hiddleston, couldn’t be more charming and humble, especially about his growing (and extremely devoted) Internet following. (Did you know there are sites dedicated just to his voice and his laugh ?) Hiddleston spoke to Moviefone about which movie villains have inspired him, the Tom Hiddleston Tumblrs and how Woody Allen would have directed “The Avengers.” (Hiddleston played F. Scott Fitzgerald in Allen’s 2011 film, “Midnight in Paris.”) I blush to say it, but are you aware there’s a “F-ck Yeah, Tom Hiddleston” tumblr
While pundits ponder whether “The Avengers” will be bigger than “The Hunger Games,” that question hits closer to home for two stars who happen to be brothers: Chris Hemsworth, who reprises his role as “Thor” in the superhero flick, and Liam Hemsworth, who co-starred in “Hunger Games.” Chris sat down with Moviefone and talked about the Hemsworth rivalry, getting his own action figure and how only Thor is allowed to deal with Loki. (It’s a brother thing.) Are you and Liam having a little brotherly rivalry over who’s going to have the bigger box office
Assembling “The Avengers” was clearly a Hulk-sized job and the signs of strain were still apparent when Moviefone sat down with director Joss Whedon three weeks before the film’s release. While relative newbies to the blockbuster world Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Tom Hiddleston (Loki) could barely contain their excitement about the film, Whedon seemed to have just gone 10 rounds with one of his superhero characters
Last weekend, “The Hunger Games” dropped out of the top spot at the box office NATIONWIDE RELEASES “The Five-Year Engagement” What’s the story?
