Comic Book Resources has put up the latest in their weekly interviews with Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada. Here are a few of the highlights, as they pertain to Thor and Iron Man 2:

On if Thor will be a tougher sell than Marvel's previous films: I think it's going to be on the surface. We had the same conversation in internally about "Iron Man." We knew Iron Man wasn't as recognizable to most people not into comics. He's not Spider-Man. He's certainly becoming that, but we worked very hard here at Marvel and started doing things like the Iron Man digital animation shorts, I worked on those with Blur Studios and Craig Kyle over at Marvel West. Those did really, really well for us online. They were basically designed to introduce Iron Man to kids by showing him in the Marvel Universe interacting with our characters, and I think we have the same work ahead of us with Thor. We'll be getting out there. We've got plans already to get Thor's name out within a younger group of kids. I think the upcoming "Super Hero Squad" and "Avengers Animated" shows are going to do wonders to get that across, and then we're working on a couple of ancillary things here and there to boost the desire for kids in particular to know more about Thor and the general public as well. Let me add that the portrayal of Thor in Super Squad is my absolute favorite.

On Marvel's relationship with Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau: Favreau is really, really intense and very cerebral. I remember having a dinner at Comic-Con, I want to say three years ago, where he just grabbed me. It was a dinner for CAA, the talent agency. He introduced himself to me, put his hand on my shoulder, sat me down at a table, and we just sat there and talked. We almost skipped dinner. About two hours later, someone tapped Jon on the shoulder, one of his friends who said, "You know you're not being very social. We're all here." [laughs] And we just sat there and talked Iron Man, and he wanted to know who he is and why Tony Stark does what he does. That was really key to Favreau: why put on the suit and try to do good things? It was a much tougher question once he defeats the Iron Monger, gets his tech and his company back...why continue doing this? What does Tony Stark stand for? 


Speaking of, let's take a second to talk about Olivia Munn: First Playboy and now Iron Man 2? Talk about a fanboy's dream. 

 

The "Attack of the Show" host has landed a role in the hugely-anticipated sequel (we don't know which one yet), which means it will be even more hugely anticipated by many, many young men who've come under her spell.


To clear up some confusion found on other sites, the Hells Angels flick that Tony Scott is directing for 20th Century Fox is actually being adapted from Hell's Angels founding member Sonny Barger's book "Hell's Angels: The Life and Times of Sonny Barger and the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club," and NOT the Hunter S. Thompson book.

According to an interview on ComingSoon, however, Scott made it clear that he has the rights for Thompson's novel, so one would assume that he and screenwriter Stephen Gaghan will be pulling from accounts from both Thompson and Barger, rather than favoring one side of the story over the other. That's all speculative, however.

The Hollywood Reporter is officially reporting that Paramount has put Mission: Impossible IV on the fast-track for a 2011 release. Both Tom Cruise and director J.J. Abrams have several projects in the works, so the date may be pushed back, but as it stands 2011 is shaping up to be an unforgettable year in film.
