I think the idea of a heightened reality and then the fantasy that we're able to be swept up in, and then these larger than life heroes and the possibility of someone much more powerful than we are and greater, that can come and save the day, so to speak, is inspiring.

You come to America, and, if you do a big TV show, then you can be overexposed, or old, before you're new.

You have the massive world that was created by Marvel, and then you have these very intimate actors around you. There was as much character work on this as there would be on a little independent film. So, I felt very fortunate in that sense.

I never felt big enough playing Thor. And then people talk about you like you're 9-foot tall and 800 pounds. I'm well aware of the illusion. There's not a second where I go: Yeah, I'm a god.

As a kid, I loved any fantasy.

These cybercrime fighters are regarded as the superheroes. They're highly intelligent and have this alien-like, advanced-type knowledge within themselves. It's something that impressed me every day.

I love that Viking era, but also they're a fatalistic people and that dictated their fearlessness in battle and approach to life.
