"Stellan Skarsg\u00C3\u00A5rd has confirmed his involvement in Thor 2. The King of Devil&amp;#039;s Island star told HeyUGuys that he is hoping to fit the sequel and the new Lars Von Trier film into his schedule.   &amp;quot;I will try to combine Thor 2 which starts in August and goes to the end of December with the new Lars Von Trier film,&amp;quot; he said.  Skarsg\u00C3\u00A5rd played Dr Erik Selvig in the original Thor, a role he reprised for The Avengers. The character serves as a mentor to Natalie Portman&amp;#039;s Jane Foster, who will have an extensive role in the sequel. Kat Dennings has remained tight-lipped about the possibility of reprising her Thor role of Darcy Lewis in the Alan Taylor-directed follow-up. Thor 2 is scheduled for release on November 15, 2013.
