Chris Hemsworth says 'The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron' ramps up everything

Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are anxiously anticipating Captain America: The Winter Soldier on April 4 and Guardians of the Galaxy on Aug. 1, but the real prize is The Avengers: Age of Ultron in 2015. And Chris Hemsworth, who stars in the film as Thor, told fans at a recent event that everything is bigger in The Avengers 2.

Hemsworth appeared at Wizard World Comic Con in Sacramento last weekend (via Comic Book Movie) and participated in a Q&A session with fans. Someone asked if Thor would get more chance to shine in the sequel than in the first movie.

"I hope so," he said with a laugh. "Everything in [Age of Ultron] is ramped up though. It kind of blew me away reading [the script]. I don't know how Joss [Whedon] does it, but everyone has gone up another notch and the whole thing is bigger and more exciting and crazier. Yeah, he's a genius."

Someone else asked which actor from the MCU he spends the most time with outside of filming, besides Tom Hiddleston aka Loki.

I probably see [Robert] Downey Jr. a bit because he lives near me," hereplied. "A lot of us kind of disappear on other projects, so most of the time we don't see each until [the sequels]. I'm really excited to start Avengers 2 in two months and get back on set," Hemsworth said, which caused a loud cheer from the crowd. "Yeah, we're going to meet in London and shoot there for four months, so I'm excited to get back together with everyone and catch up." 

Hemsworth also said his favorite Marvel villain besides Loki was the Asgardian goddess of death, Hela (though he forgot her name) and called Elizabeth Olsen, who plays Scarlet Witch, "pretty awesome."
