With Game of Thrones director Alan Taylor at the helm for the sequel, he just might get his wish.
Thanks to MVT (via CBM) for the new interview!
“[‘Game of Thrones’] had a real mythical element to it, but it was rooted in such an organic and tangible world,” Hemsworth said. “I think Asgard could really benefit from that sort of a grittier, aged feel to it and not so ethereal.”
According to the actor, the elements of cosmic exploration were one of the main selling points for the character. “The big thing about the comics for me was the origin story,” Hemsworth said. “Thor was interesting, but what I found more fascinating was the other worlds and realms that you can be taken off into.”
When asked whether the intergalactic setting would play a larger role than the Earthy ones, Hemsworth’s answer was “I think so.”
“I haven’t seen the script yet, but hopefully,” he said. “There are so many other universes out there and realms in the comics that they explored. I think definitely we’ll venture into them.”

It’s good to see that Asgard will be in the hands of someone who (like Kenneth Branagh) is capable of understanding the dialect and tone of Thor.
Thor 2 is sure to explore multiple realms whereas Game of Thrones centers on one, but the character interaction is what’s important here, and Game of Thrones veteran Alan Taylor has proven that he is more than up to the task.
