Kenneth Branagh, the boss of Thor?



Ok, pick somebody already. It appears that my earlier report on a possible director for the live action Thor movie was to good to be true. Marvel is now in negotiations with Shakespeare aficionado Kenneth Branagh to direct the God of Thunder flick. I have to say, even though Branagh doesn't have any true action movie credits under his belt, his track record with more artsy fair may serve him well here. Thor's story, even when adapted for the comic book world, smacks of Shakespeare in many respects. It should be cool, but if I see any puffy pants or ruffled collars, I'm gonna freak. Let's hope that Marvel Studios can wrap this up and get started on casting already. Sphere: Related Content

Thor has to get made. I grew up on Marvel comics and Thor was my favorite hero. I think Branagh would do a great job. They need to get this done, already.
