Benicio del Toro may appear in the new "Thor 2: The Dark World."
During an interview for Flicks and City, actor Clive Russell revealed that he worked with Del Toro on a scene. The actor was discussing the differences between American and British acting when he spoke about Del Toro. He said, "I worked with Benicio Del Toro on a scene in which he was meant to be quite angry, and sitting fifteen feet away I couldn't hear a word he was saying. But you look on at the screen, and it's absolutely there."
Marvel has not confirmed if Del Toro will make an appearance in the movie but it is possible given that he will play Taneleer "the Collector" Tivan in the upcoming "Guardians of Galaxy" movie. It could be a way of promoting the upcoming project and attempt to build hype and an audience for the movie.
Marvel is known for placing hints for its upcoming projects. In 2008, the end credits sequence for "Iron Man" showcased Nick Fury as a hint of the upcoming "Avengers" film. When "Iron Man 2" was released in 2010, the company showed Thor's hammer in the post-credits sequence and in "The Incredible Hulk," Tony Stark made an appearance. In the first "Thor" movie, Hawkeye also made an appearance as a precursor to the "Avengers" movie.
Del Toro recently starred in "Savages" and "The Wolfman." He is slated to appear in "Paradise Lost and Paul Thomas Anderson's "Inherent Vice with Joaquin Phoenix, Owen Wilson and Reese Witherspoon.
"Thor: The Dark World" is part of Marvel's second phase to "The Avengers." The film is expected to connect with the next Avengers and possibly "Guardians of Galaxy" movies.
The first installment opened to good reviews and received a 77 percent aggregate score on Rotten Tomatoes. It also did well at the box office and grossed $181 million domestically and $450 million worldwide.
"Thor: The Dark World" opens Nov. 8 and is currently unrated.
