The Marvel tentpole Thor, toplined by Chris Hemsworth, wasn’t just directed by Kenneth Branagh.

Thor actor Stellan Skarsgard revealed at Cannes, while promoting Melancholia, that Joss Whedon, who is currently helming The Avengers, actually filmed part of Thor.

Whedon, Skarsgard tells Empire, directed the post-credits scene, in which his Erik Selvig, Tom Hiddleston’s Loki and Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury all appear.

“That was just a couple of months ago,” Skarsgard said of filming the extra scene. “I flew over there and went down into a basement, talked to Sam a couple of minutes and then went back home.”

“Was that with Ken Branagh?,” the interviewer asks.

“No that was with a director called Joss Whedon, who’s doing The Avengers,” Skarsgard answers.

Oh even more reason to see it. I did just want to see it for Kym from Home and Away originally 😉 (sw)

This follows the same pattern with the special scene at the end of Iron Man 2. That one wasn't directed by Favreau but Brannagh for Thor. I had a feeling Joss directed the scene at the end of Thor. Very cleaver to keep building up for The Avengers.

When I read the title the first thing that popped into my head was the Hospital scene when Thor goes on a rampage and ends up being sedated. Just seemed Jossy. Or the part when Thor and Erik were at the bar drinking and when he brings him back to Jane's Motor Home and she gets all nervous.
