No reason to have any thoughts about this film yet. As far as spoiling what happens to Loki in The Avengers, you guys had to know he wasn't dying. For one, he's a frigging god, and two, it is absolutely smart to keep him around, even if it is just to aim people at Thor, or even aid Thor.

@eddie584 Unless it's for "flashbacks" or if it occurs before the avengers?

@eddie584 i just thought of that too... so i guess loki comes back for another movie... i actually like loki though but at the same time they should have kept this under wraps

Arrested Development: Critically acclaimed: Good!
Entourage: Mixed reviews: Hated in the public eye: Bad!

If I'm correct: Does that mean we'll get 3 films with Thor in them for 3yrs in a row? That would be Thor 2011, The Avengers 2012, and Thor 2 in 2013. That's a lot and pretty awesome!

What the deuce?
That's a lot of budget to hand over to a TV director that has never been anywhere near a movie this epic.
