Movie News: Superhero movies Thor & Green Lantern moving forward and Ghost Busters too!
Kenneth Branagh is reportedly in serious negotiations to direct Marvel Comics “Thor,” the next superhero property that will be turned into a live-action film by Marvel Studios. The “Thor” negotiations come during a resurgence for Branagh. He’s currently drawing raves on the London stage in the title role of “Ivanov,” and he’ll next be seen acting in the Richard Curtis-directed “The Boat That Rocked” and the Bryan Singer-helmed “Valkyrie.̶

Kenneth Branagh To Direct Thor Superhero Movie
Kenneth Branagh has been picked to direct Thor, yet another film based on a character from Marvel Comics. Despite the company’s consistent rate of success—most notably their blockbuster X-Men, Spider-Man and Iron Man films (Ghost Rider even did ok for a movie based on Ghost Rider), a film about the Norse god of Thunder would seem like less than a sure hit. Choosing Branagh doesn’t seem to improve their box office chances either. Sure, he did a good job with Henry V in 1990, but that was al

concerned, Branagh is the perennial "actor's director," which means that Tyler Mane is probably out of the running to play the hammer-wielding God of Thunder. Sorry, bro.

Maybe it's the promise of faux Shakespearean dialogue, or perhaps just the lure of a truckload of money being backed up to his house, but arthouse Kenneth Branagh is in talks to take on the director's chair for Marvel's 2010 summer blockbuster Thor, in which the thunder-wielding Norseman is actually an alien. And that's just the first of two big pieces of Marvel Studios news this morning, as Marvel also announced what film they'll be doing to follow-up on The Avengers as well. Branagh's potential in

Kenneth Branagh To Direct Thor!
According to Variety, Kenneth Branagh is in negotiations to direct Thor for Marvel Studios. This choice by Marvel is surprising in a way, considering Branagh has not directed a big action adventure movie before. However, that seems to be the way things are going lately. Jon Favreau ended up directing Iron Man, Warner Bros gave the Batman franchise to Christopher Nolan and Gavin Hood was chosen by Marvel and Fox to direct X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Now is a good time to be a director of smaller movies! Thor

The agreement is said to also cover Iron Man 3. All I'm gonna say is what the hell will we do in 2009 without Superman, Batman, Spider-Man ... or any

Now this is something I never would have seen coming from 10 miles away nor from the tops of Asgard itself. Kenneth Branagh as the director of Thor?!?! That’s the word floating around right now.

Kenneth Branagh to Direct Thor Movie? WTF?
When Marvel Studios released their release slate of big movies for the next few years, I think more than a few people were curious about some of the dates. One of those movies scheduled for 2010 is the “Thor” flick, which didn’t even have a director yet at that point, and you would think a movie as CGI-heavy as a Thor movie would require quite a bit of pre-production work before shooting even begins. It now appears as if Marvel is trying to remedy the whole no-director snafu by announcing

Marvel Wants to Send Kenneth Branagh to Asgard
The big nerd-movie-news of the weekend is that Marvel is in talks with Kenneth Branagh to direct the upcoming Thor movie, according to Variety. I have no idea how to feel about this. • Branagh has a ton of Shakespearean experience in both film and theater. • Branagh hasn't directed an action movie in 19 years. • His Hamlet and Much Ado About Nothing were outstanding. • His Frankenstein was really, really, bad. Really bad. • He could add a Shakespearean grandeur to Thor. • He could turn it
