With a cast that already includes a bevy of talent, it seems that the roster of Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron is still growing as Idris Elba and Tom Hiddleston have been added to the list, reprising their roles as Heimdall and Loki from the Thor franchise, reports The Telegraph.
“I’m in Avengers,” Elba mentioned to The Telegraph. “And I’m doing a scene with Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston, and they’re like, [whispers] – ‘Aren’t you [meant to be] in Ibiza?’”
According to one of the comments on Comingsoon.net’s article, their appearance is “probably to set up Thor: Ragnarok since (Marvel’s Kevin) Feige confirmed Thor: Ragnarok will take place immediately after Avengers: Age of Ultron.”
“Avengers: Age of Ultron” is the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.
Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” stars Robert Downey Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision.
Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” hits theaters on May 1, 2015.
