Tom Hiddleston’s Loki has certainly blossomed from a decent (if uninspired) villain in Thor, to a truly compelling antagonist in The Avengers- a film in which he is really only a facilitator of the evil plot. All that said, once we reach Thor 2 it will definitely be time for a little fresh blood in the Asgardian Department of Mischief And Evil Shenanigans, which will apparently be provided by Mr. Mads Mikkelson once they being shooting in the fall for their Nov. 15th, 2013 release.
A Dane, Mikkelson is no stranger to villainy, having most memorably played a recognizable, chip-flipping baddie in Casino Royale– remember, the guy with the eye-bleeding problem? So whether he’s actually aligned with Loki or not, Le Chiffre himself will somehow, someway make Thor’s day a little shittier. Beyond that, we know nothing of the role or really the movie, except that Loki will still play a large part in the story, and that Kevin Feige has mentioned the script fully acknowledging the fleeting nature of that previous film’s romance.
I still feel like, aside from Iron Man and obviously, Thor puts forth some of the most fun elements of all the solo pre-Avengers flicks, but like almost all of them is saddled with a dueling narrative with a seriously weak half. If they can manage to make their Earth-based shit less shitty this time around, I’ll be looking very much forward to this follow-up. You?

I actually thought Mikkelson would have made a great Loki as well. Glad to see he’s coming into the sequel as another bad guy.
Perhaps Ulik? Colm Feore was Laufey, so it is a possibility.
Renn Brown, I am…THORoughly, looking forward to Thor 2!
Greetings from denmark.
If you want to watch a couple of amazing (warning: subtitled) films with Mads Mikkelsen, see:
1. Blinkende Lygter (2000) – Criminals on the run comedy.
2. The Green Butchers (2003) Cannibal-Comedy. Ignore worst international poster – ever..
3. Pusher II (2004) Crime. Mads was also in the first Pusher. But his character is front and center in this one. Amazing performance by Mikkelsen.
4. Adams Apples (2005) Comedy about faith and stuff. Very funny..
5. Flame and Citron (2008) True WWII story about legendary danish resistance fighters.
We make a lot of heavy and artsy movies in denmark. But this list is killer. Enjoy!
Mads is awesome. Continue to be astounded by how embraced Loki/Hiddleson has become post-Avengers. Girl Fans have REALLY taken to him. He and New Hulk were the big winners there.
dude was so money in Pusher and Pusher 2:With Blood On My Hands.
Between the photo above, Casino Royale, and Valhalla Rising I actually had to stoop to going to Mr. Mikkelson’s IMDB page to confirm that this gentleman does indeed have two fully-functional eyes.
