Stella Skarsgård Talks More About His Experience On The First “Thor” Movie and Learning So Much About Girls

Stellan Skarsgård

Stella Skarsgård has appeared in many Marvel Cinematic Universe installments and finally opens up on his role and experience in the first Thor film.
The actor gets candid on what it was like joining the Marvel Legacy in 2011.

With the year’s calendar, it is shown that there won’t be any new releases in 2024, but since the inception of the franchise in 2008, one cannot deny the creation of remarkable pieces and characters despite not all being related to the comics, with Marvel in its own creative right, having expanding it beyond what was presumed.

Skarsgård, who isn’t a comic book fan, had the time of his life while filming Thor with ace film director Kenneth Branagh in 2011. The actor spoke recently in an interview about what it felt like understanding Girls and working alongside Natalie Portman and Kat Dennings while enjoying his time on set.

“The film was fun. We lived in Santa Fe, where they have more Birkenstocks and gray ponytails than anywhere else in the United States. No, I wasn’t excited. I was, ‘What the f–k?’ I didn’t know much about Thor, or I knew about the real Thor, but I didn’t know much about the comic books. So the thing was that Kenneth Branagh was directing it, and he’s good. I said ‘OK I’ll do it’ but the thing is, when you sign up for one of these, you sign up for four, so I felt I sold my soul to the devil, but I didn’t, because especially the first one, I had a lot of fun,”

says Skarsgård

“It was me, Kat Dennings, and Natalie Portman, the trio. We were constantly together in all the scenes, and I had so much fun and I learned so much about girls because most of the time we were stuck in a car, and we were waiting, and it was a film car and I just listened to those two girls talking about men. Yeah, I mean, I didn’t think it was like that. You learn. Why did I continue to do Marvel after that? I had a contract, and it was fun doing those small things. You don’t have to be too pretentious about what you do. It’s not a crime to do not-high-brow material,”

he added.
