Who are the two persons Erik Selvig is referring to in Thor (2011) in the scene where he is talking to Jane foster after SHIELD took their research.



Best Answer

The assumption by most, of course, is that the first one he was referring to was Bruce Banner. However, while no further mention is made of Erik's other colleague in the final film, the original script reveals the identity to be Dr. Pym (presumably Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man).

JANE

(TO DARCY) Will you please stop talking about your iPod?!

(TO SELVIG) Who are these people?

SELVIG

No one knows much about them. But I knew a scientist -- a pioneer in gamma radiation. SHIELD showed up, and he was never heard from again.

JANE

I'm not going to let them do this. I'm getting everything back.

SELVIG

Please, let me contact one of my colleagues. Dr. Pym has had some dealings with these people. I'll e- mail him and see if he can help.

DARCY

They took your laptop, too.
