Chris Hemsworth, star of Marvel Studios’ upcoming Thor took a moment to answer some questions for MTV on the red carpet for the premiere of The Last Song, starring his brother, Liam Hemsworth. The brief interview touches on his thoughts on Chris Evans nabbing the leading role in Captain America and his his feelings on the possibility of Louis Leterrier directing The Avengers. The interview only takes 30 seconds, but we get some decent information and a nice perspective.
On Chris Evans as Captain America:
“Fantastic. Yea, I just found out the other day and he’s great. He’s got a ton of charisma, and he’s a bloke, and I think he has all the points to pull it off, so it’s really exciting.”
Oh my goodness! He’s a bloke!? No, but it’s nice to hear a fellow actor talk up Chris Evans. He does seem like an enjoyable guy, and that can be a big benefit on set. Regardless of whether they are playing characters, the chemistry and believability of actors like Robert Downey, Jr. (Iron Man 2) following Chris Evans in The Avengers is more than just acting and has to bleed off screen as well. At the same time, what the heck is Hemsworth supposed to say? “No, I think they could have done better?”
On Louis Leterrier possibly directing The Avengers:
“Yea, look, I’ve heard a lot of names bounced around, and then we all gather together next January/February to shoot the thing. So look, any of the people I’ve heard I’d be impressed by. I have no idea who it’s gonna be through.”
There we go. Some clarification emerges. It looks like The Avengers is all set to begin filming early next year. What I like about that is how quickly Hemsworth will go from one movie to the next without losing the character. By filming, he’ll be a year deep into Thor. What’s even better is instead of this putting pressure on Captain America to finish filming on time, it gives them a chance to go back for re-shoots if necessary while everybody is still in character.
Does this sound like a good crew assembling? Do you like what you see in the potential camaraderie of the actors?
Thor opens May 5, 2011 , The First Avenger: Captain America hits July 22, 2011 and The Avengers is scheduled to debut May 4, 2012.

yes it sounds like a good crew to me too , i also like the beard Chris is sporting looks very THOR like
I was relieved when Evans was cast as Cap. I think he was the best possible choice, outside of recruiting someone fresh out of Special Forces looking to launch an acting career — and who knows, maybe they looked at a number of those, and none had the on-screen presence needed. Evans is a good actor, has presence, and can probably pull this off. Better him than Ryan Philippe, that's for sure!
Doesn't Thor open May 6?
Yeah, the “bearded” Thor while in Asgard is very “Vikingish” and LOTResque so it makes sense for him to wear the beard while doing his thing in Asgard BUT I think we'll be seeing him clean shaven when he adjusts to being on earth. I think while with The Avengers his costume may slightly be changed and he won't have the beard, with more(but not all)of the classic Thor look.
May 5th 2011 … i already have my place in the ticket line ….
I have no complain of his beard but he doesn't seem much different or beef up for the role he play as I hope for.
I wish they could maintain some of the classic look of Thor where we get to see his biceps instead of covering him with some tiny steel plates coz thats just make him gay, you know much like the high neck apply in SR.
Spider-Man 4 was set to open May 5, but when it got moved things changed. Thor took its place on May 6, while OST took Thor's old place of May 20.

Simply put, yes. This case will work. Let's see if they can all pull it off like Downey did for Stark/IronMan !
This sounds like it's going to be absolutely amazing. I'd love if they manage to pull Ed Norton on board as the Hulk (they seem to be leaning that way), but even if they don't this is absolutely amazing. =D
