(Note, potential SPOILERS for Avengers: Age of Ultron below)
So, folks - if, like me, you're already massively over-excited for the impending arrival of Avengers: Age of Ultron, there's probably a palpable hole in your life right now. After all, it's been far too long since last year's release of Guardians of the Galaxy, Netflix's Daredevil is still over a month away, Agent Carter has finished its run, and Spider-Man's arrival in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has already been announced. What, then, do we have to obsess over in terms of the MCU?
Well, for some of us, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. can provide a temporary fix of Marvel-goodness - but for fans who stick to the movies? The next two months are set to be a long wait.
Unless, of course, one of the stars of Age of Ultron were to come riding to the rescue - like, say, if...
Chris Hemsworth Totally Just Confirmed a Bunch of Age of Ultron Rumors
Which, wouldn't you know it, he totally just did...
Speaking to IGN, Hemsworth - Thor himself - not only confirmed that a whole bunch of long-standing rumors are true, but totally teased a major fight scene that we weren't expecting.
That's right...
Thor's Set to Fight...The Vision?
Yup, from the sounds of it, IGN's set visit coincided with the filming of a big fight sequence between the two long-time Avengers - one which suggests that The Vision spends at least a part of the movie acting as a villain...
"This is their first meeting, really. And it's, as you can see, it's conflicted. It's a big fight scene."
The intriguing part, there? From the sounds of it, it's not a clear-cut hero vs. villain kind of situation - suggesting that the pair's first meeting might well come late in the film, perhaps after The Vision has shown he has the potential to be a hero.
Which might actually be a whole lot more plausible than it initially sounds, considering...
Hemsworth Just Revealed He'll Head Off Alone in the Middle of the Movie
Remember how, back in that leaked video of Tony Stark and Cap chopping wood, they made reference to Thor clearing out?
Well, it sure seems like that's going to be for a decent chunk of the movie. As Hemsworth suggested, when asked whether Thor was 'divorced' from what's happening in Asgard:
"He kind of is until the third act. Halfway through [the story] Thor begins to have suspicions about what the bigger picture is here, you know? Who's involved. And he actually doesn't know by the end of it, but he starts to think something’s not right here. [He thinks] 'This is all a little too convenient. Why has this happened?' Which you know, certainly points his focus back there [to Asgard]."
At the same time, though...
Thor Seems Set to Spot the Thanos Problem
As Hemsworth puts it:
"[In this one] the threat is so great that I think all of them are sort of scratching their heads and going, 'Okay we have to kill this many things?' He sort of openly admits that we [maybe] can't win this one. It's just an onslaught and it doesn't stop. It's an open floodgate and what it also sets in motion is an even bigger threat. I think that's what Thor is kind of stuck on. That's where his attention is: an even bigger picture of Thor being from Asgard. He can just say, 'Hang on, there's a whole universe here, which is signaling something else.'"
Because that bigger threat? That's totally Thanos...
Plus, just to add to Thor's problems...
He's Definitely Going to Be Struck By a Scarlet Witch Vision
And, best of all, it sounds as though we really are going to see those long-rumored visions cause all kinds of internal problems for the team:
"It certainly creates a conflict. It's more kind of in their individual selves rather than the team so much. I think they'll begin to have their fears sort of held up in front of them and for Thor I think it's a corruption of power. And with all of them having so much power and with the understanding that we're in this sort of endless battle here [with no idea] when this is going to end and how it ends...That scene is actually being rewritten at the moment if you want to talk to Joss about it, so it's hard to even say what it will be in Thor’s dream sequence. But, yeah, it kicks in motion his movement. That's where he really starts to kind of move through the story. Once that dream occurs he goes, 'Oh, I can see what's coming and my fear is this could be true.' So yeah it’s a ticking clock."
Which sounds downright awesome.
The main takeaway from all of that, though? Chris Hemsworth clearly can't be trusted to keep a secret - and long may that continue...
