In an interview with Hey U Guys (found via Comingsoon.net), the actor confirmed he will be back as Dr. Erik Salvig, a role he also reprised in this summer's "The Avengers."

"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," Skarsgard said in the interview.

"Thor 2" will be directed by Alan Taylor ("Game of Thrones") and is set for a Nov. 8, 2013, release date. Actors Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Idris Elba and Anthony Hopkins are returning to reprise their roles from the first film.

Last month is was reported that actor Josh Dallas had to pull out the project due to his commitments to ABC's "Once Upon a Time." Dallas, who plays Prince Charming on the fairy tale series, portrayed Fandral, one of the Warriors Three, in the superhero film. In a separate report, it was revealed that the studio is looking at "Chuck" star Zachary Levi to replace him.

Skarsgard's other upcoming work includes roles in "Romeo and Juliet," "Vivaldi" and "The Nymphomaniac."
