Feige tells EW that the upcoming sequel will "take Thor literally to other worlds. [The pic] primarily be the journey of that character, of he and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) and how the new dynamic with his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) is working out, as well as what are the broader stakes for The Nine Worlds."
The first "Thor" took us three of the Nine Worlds: Asgard, home of Thor. Midgard, our modern Earth. Jotunheim, the frozen wasteland of the Frost Giants.
Vanaheim, home of the Asgardian sister race the Vanir; Alfheim, home of the light elves; and Nidavellir, the dark fields of the dwarves, all reside on the same planetoid as Asgard along with the hall of Valhalla where the honored dead go (but it is not considered a separate world).
Other worlds that seem more ripe for exploration in the sequel include Hel, the realm of the dead ruled over by an Asgardian goddess named Hela; Muspelheim, the fiery realm of demons ruled by Surtur; and Svartalfheim, the home of the dark elves. There's also Niffleheim, the frozen realm of the dishonored dead, but it's not considered a separate world - rather a part of Hel.
Portman nor Hopkins are confirmed for the sequel....
Meantime Star Chris Hemsworth talks Jenkins to the Los Angeles Times
"She has a great take on the story and a solid grasp on that kind of universe. Kenneth Branagh read every comic book he could get his hands on. She also looked like she had done her homework"
Then Jenkins told Vulture: "I can't say, but yes. I can't say anything definitive, but it's exciting to be in talks with them about it. I think Marvel is really ballsy to think outside the box. And I think everyone they've talked to and hired has been interesting."
The sequel is set for release on July 26, 2013
