"Rene Russo has confirmed that she will return in Thor: The Dark World. The actress will appear again as Odin&amp;#039;s wife and Thor and Loki&amp;#039;s stepmother Frigga in the Marvel Studios film subtitled The Dark World.   &amp;quot;I think they&amp;#039;re going to need a good mom in the next film,&amp;quot; Russo told Vulture. &amp;quot;Loki needs his mom. What the hell? &amp;quot;I have a lot of compassion for him. But we might have to have a conversation about what he just did. And I might have to have a chat with Thor.&amp;quot; The Thomas Crown Affair star revealed that she had been cut extensively from the previous film. &amp;quot;[Director] Kenneth Branagh sent me a nice note, because he understood, he&amp;#039;s an actor,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;You move on, what are you going to do?&amp;quot; Russo also revealed that she would be reading up on her character for Thor 2. &amp;quot;I am so confused - is Thor my son or not?&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;People have been telling me recently, &amp;#039;No, you&amp;#039;re not his mother&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s all so confusing. I&amp;#039;ve got to tell you, it would be a little embarrassing if I don&amp;#039;t know. I need to read more about her.&amp;quot; Thor: The Dark World has been scheduled for release on August 11, 2013. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
