"[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/390422/moviemain.jhtml"]The Avengers[/url]" assembled at New York Comic Con last weekend, and we got to chat with many of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Not only that, we spoke with their primary nemesis: [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/1012264/personmain.jhtml"]Tom Hiddleston[/url], who stars as Loki in the Marvel team-up.

Beyond chatting about "The Avengers," Hiddleston weighed in on his upcoming return to Asgard in "[url="http://splashpage.mtv.com/tag/thor-2"]Thor 2[/url]," which is being directed by "Monster" helmer [url="http://splashpage.mtv.com/2011/10/13/patty-jenkins-is-directing-thor-2/"]Patty Jenkins[/url]. The actor described his interactions with Jenkins thus far and where he thinks the story of "Thor 2" should go.

Sad news in the geekosphere: "Star Wars" icon Mark Hamill, who has supplied the unforgettable voice of the Joker over two decades of fantastic Batman projects, is stepping away from Gotham City for good. Hamill announced his [url="http://splashpage.mtv.com/2011/10/20/batman-mark-hamill-joker/"]Joker retirement on Twitter[/url], leaving his work on "Arkham City" as the last time he'll ever voice the Clown Prince of Crime. Here's hoping for a change of heart, but regardless, thanks for all of the fantastic Joker memories, Mark!
