Good news, Marvel fans!

Idris Elba and Tom Hiddleston will be reprising their roles as Asgardians Heimdall and Loki for the second installment of "Avengers".

In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Elba said he, along with fellow British actor Hiddleston, will be making an appearance in "Avengers: Age of Ultron".

"I'm in Avengers. And I'm doing a scene with Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston, and they're like, 'Aren't you [meant to be] in Ibiza?'," he revealed.

Elba, who also works as a DJ, admitted that because he was set to film for the movie, he wasn't able to give his all while behind the decks.

"That's why I was p***** about my set yesterday. I really just wasn't there. I was annoyed," he confessed.

"Avengers: Age of Ultron" will see the Avengers once again regrouping to attempt at defeating Ultron, an artificial intelligence developed by Tony Stark to keep the peace, which unfortunately goes awry.

The actors may only have brief appearances in the second installment of the movie franchise, but Hiddleston is said to be onboard for "Thor 3: Ragnarok" and "Avengers 3: Infinity War". His character Loki will be playing a much more important and pivotal part in the said movies.

While Loki is expected to wreak havoc in Asgard for "Thor 3: Ragnarok" as he took the throne under false pretenses in "Thor 2", the beloved villain who had lost his scepter when he failed to take over Earth in the first "Avengers" movie finds that the prized object is in the possession of HYDRA's Baron von Strucker.

"Avengers: Age of Ultron" is scheduled to open in theaters worldwide on May 1, 2015.

"Thor: Ragnarok" is set to premiere on July 28, 2017, while "Avengers: Infinity" part 1 is scheduled May 4, 2018, with part 2 set for May 3, 2019.
