Tom Hiddleston, who plays the film's villain Loki, recently shared an anecdote from his time on the "Avengers" set when [url="http://splashpage.mtv.com/2011/10/27/avengers-director-joss-whedon-earths-mightiest-giggler/"]Whedon fully acted out a stunt-heavy moment[/url], earning the filmmaker serious kudos points in Hiddleston's eyes.

[url="http://splashpage.mtv.com/2011/10/27/incredibles-director-weighs-in-on-sequel-ideas/"]The "Incredibles" director[/url] recently spoke out about what it would take for him to shoot a sequel to his beloved Pixar superhero flick: "'Toy Story 2' was, to me, a perfect sequel, because it absolutely respected the first film but found new places to go without selling out its characters.
