In a recent interview to TF, the director explained why he thinks that the Brits make good villains, since he has Tom Hiddleston as Loki and Christopher Eccleston as Malekith, both villains in the upcoming Thor: The Dark World.
"I
think it’s been a respected profession for hundreds of years in British culture
– if you’re good at it you get knighted! The British are just absolutely
brilliant technicians who can turn it on and turn it off. Working with Emilia
Clarke in Game of Thrones, she’s a young woman and she can be laughing with the
crew and having a joke but when you say action, she’s raging and sobbing and
breeding dragons and you say cut and she finishes her joke. It’s that degree of
control.”
"And
the Brits always have amazing control of the accent; they can do an American
accent without batting an eye and Americans will slave away for months and not
get it right so there’s just a technical control which seems to be embedded in
the culture. But on the other side, I think Americans believe the British as
villains because the accent’s just kind of villainous *laughs*. You sound so
sophisticated, there must be something evil about you – we’re still fighting
the Revolutionary War."
