MTV News caught up with actor Chris O'Dowd during the press junket for the animated epic "Epic." Since O'Dowd revealed via his Twitter account that he shot a date scene with Natalie Portman for "Thor: The Dark World," we just had to ask the actor about it. And while he doesn't say much about the scene (except for hinting that it may involve Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth), he did have a bit more to say about rumors that he may be up for the role of Daredevil.
Full disclosure: that's a one-man rumor that I cooked up for this article about working ol' hornhead into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I took a wild shot, saying that O'Dowd could play Matt Murdock in that date scene, and then fell in love with the idea of the Irish comedian playing Marvel's most put upon hero. And O'Dowd didn't shoot the crazy theory down!
"There's a lot of talk of that," he says, nodding. "Maybe some contract talk." Check out the video below, which also includes the fantastic Aziz Ansari.
