Jaimie Alexander told MTV recently that she is returning to play Sif again in the upcoming "Thor 2".

Now Golden Globe-winner Idris Elba confirms to MTV News he'll be reprising the role of Heimdall as well.

Asked about the possibility at the ceremony over the weekend, he said "Thor 2 for sure... We're going at it again."

Tom Hiddleston who plays Loki will return as will Natalie Portman playing Jane

Alan Taylor will direct the sequel that is expected to be on a larger scale than the first film with double the amount of Asgardian characters and the inclusion of Thor (Chris Hemsworth) battling more mythical Norse creatures.

"Saving Private Ryan" scribe Robert Rodat is set to perform a re-write of the sequel. First Thor co-writer Don Payne had written the first draft.

Production kicks off this Summer in London.

The film is scheduled to be released November 15th 2013.
