Marvel Studios' latest adventure Thor follows the studio's long tradition of featuring a brief scene after the end credits have rolled. While this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who follows these superhero tales, it might surprise you to learn who directed the end credit scene in Thor. Actor Stellan Skarsgård, who plays Erik Selvig in the movie, said that The Avengers director Joss Whedon directed the end credit scene, and not Thor director Kenneth Branagh. Here's what the actor had to say below.

"That was just a couple of months ago and I was happy to meet Sam (L. Jackson) again. I flew over there and went into a basement and talked to Sam for a couple of minutes and went home. That was with Joss Whedon, who's doing The Avengers."


The actor was coy about how his character will turn up in The Avengers, though.

"I know what's going to happen to my character in that film, but I'm not allowed to say anything. I'll have to sell my house to pay the fines for that."

Thor was released May 6th, 2011 and stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Stellan Skarsgård, Kat Dennings, Clark Gregg, Idris Elba. The film is directed by Kenneth Branagh.

    I hope this doesn't turn into a Into A Whole Other Natalie Portman" scandal, where Dance doubles for Natalie Portman in "Black Swan" say the Oscar winner didn't actually dance in most of the film.

    @diaigma due to the fact they rushed through it with them just for the benefit of the fanboys who would have had a moan up!

    @brandon-scott-todd...All i know is the after credits sequence for Iron Man 2, when they show Thors hammer, was directed by Kenneth Branagh himself, it shows it in the extras on the dvd....

    I'm not sure that's a good sign for the Avengers because I thought that scene was cheesy. I'm not going to judge just yet though.

    So!?? Does it matter who directed it!! ..... Honestly, I don't even what the end little film was .... "Thor" was about a C+ film for me ....What sticks with most about "Thor", is when Jeremy Renner showed up mid-way through the film. I didn't put the Hawkeye character connection till about 3 days later ....

    ..... I just remember saying really loudly during "Thor", "What the hell is Jeremy Renner doing in this mess"!?? .....

    That's cool to know. The epilogue did seem to have a different look to it. I wonder if Whedon filmed the other epilogue sequences in Iron Man 2, Iron Man, and The Incredible Hulk.

    Question: SPOILERS!!

    Did Loki control Erik's mind or Erik was aware of Loki's existence and repeated what he heard??

    I would say that Loki controlled his mind but if he's really controlling Erik, he would have said the same thing at the same time no? Not after?

    thats koo it shows the style of production will keep its tone similiar to previous marvel movies and not be to much of a drastic change in look
