It
looks like Swedish thespian, Stellan Skarsgård, who plays Dr. Erik Selvig in
the Thor franchise and in The Avengers, will reprise his role in the upcoming
Avengers: Age of Ultron and then some.
Speaking
with Total Film, the actor talked about his first meeting with Kevin Feige, and
the studio, and revealed that he has a five-picture deal with them, meaning
that Thor 3 will be his last MCU film under the current contract.
“I didn’t have much clue about the Marvel universe at
that time. What I said to Kevin Feige, the head of Marvel, was, 'All those
superheroes? Still in those comic books? Can you make money out of that?' The
whole table just froze and looked at me as if I was an idiot. But you sign on
for at least five films, I think. Or I did. I’m going to do my fourth. I’m
going to be in Avengers: Age Of Ultron, a small appearance. It’s
something really nice. Even if it’s owned by Disney now, it’s really run by
four or five people, and they know exactly what they’re doing. I like
working with them because if I have a problem with the scene, I have Kevin
Feige’s number. I can call the head of the studio. You can’t do that when you
work on a normal Disney film or with Warner Bros or Paramount.”
Skarsgård,
who spends a good portion of Thor:
The Dark World strolling around naked, promises that he has gone nude again for
Age of Ultron
"You run around in your pants in the second one a
lot…," referring to Thor: The Dark World. Stellan replied
seemingly hinting that he'll go nude again in Avengers: Age of Ultron like
he did last year. “Yeah, I was naked again,” he said. “They
called my agent and said, 'Do you think Stellan will mind being naked?' My
agent laughed his head off. Yeah, I almost insist! Sometimes with a contract
you get a nudity clause, which is fantastic. It’s supposed to protect me from
having my genitals exploited, which I doubt anybody would make a dime on.” Skarsgård
was then asked if he could reveal anything about Age of Ultron. “First
of all, I don’t know what I’m allowed to say,” he started. “But
usually they call me in if they need something explained. There’s a lot of
explanations to do when it comes to that universe.”
Opening on May 1st, 2015, Avengers: Age of Ultron
stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Mark
Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, James Spader, Thomas Kretschmann, Aaron Taylor-Johnson,
