Kenneth Branagh to direct THOR

Kenneth Branagh to Direct Thor!
Source:Variety
September 28, 2008


Kenneth Branagh is negotiating to direct Thor for Marvel Studios, reports Variety. The comic book adaptation is scheduled for a June 4, 2010 release.

Branagh is the latest in a string of directors -- such as Jon Favreau (Iron Man), Christopher Nolan (the Batman franchise) and Gavin Hood (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) -- with arthouse roots taking on big-budget comic book fare.

Marvel will set a distributor for Thor shortly.

Thor, written by Mark Protosevich, follows disabled medical student Donald Blake, who has an alter ego as the hammer-wielding Norse god Thor.

The thunder god went out one day,
to ride upon his filly,
"I'M THOR!" he cried,
the horse replied,
"Well you forgot your thaddle, thilly".
