Thor 2

Seems about time to give this an official thread.

Some breaking news today that hasn't been confirmed - Patty Jenkins (Monster) is in negotiations to direct the sequel now!

I say, WTF? 🤨

What happened to Brian Kirk (Game Of Thrones) succeeding Kenneth Branagh in the director's chair, and just what do they expect Patty Jenkins to bring to this?
Just because she directed one good indie film eight years ago...

Hope its a rumor.

Hopefully it's just a lot of talk.

If Kirk isn't on board, maybe Marvel is still looking to bring Branagh back to the director's chair...(crosses fingers)

Chris Hemsworth on Patty Jenkins and Thor 2

I know this fits the pattern of the past several years, getting indie directors to come take on these projects to give them a unique stamp.

But the idea that the sequel to Thor - being released by Walt Disney Pictures, where you expect the action to be ratcheted up after the introductions of the first film - is being directed by a woman who directed one other film about a female serial killer eight years ago...this picture doesn't add up, in my mind.

This is like the producers of James Bond hiring Marc Forster to direct Quantum Of Solace; oddball choice, and a mixed success.

Maybe the Enchantress is the villian?

Disney has been moving around release dates, likely due to the fighting over The Lone Ranger. Thor 2 now scheduled for four months later - Nov 15 2013.

I think this is good news, actually. Summer has gotten so crowded, and now Thor can own the Thanksgiving holiday slot.

And Patty Jenkins is confirmed to direct. Still don't really get what she brings to the table...

she could very well be a versatile director. dont knock her yet.

not sure how i feel about patty jenkins directing as well as the new release date.. i hope she doesn't frack it up

Perhaps. She must have really impressed in the interview.

There's already speculation she would bring Charlize Theron on board as the Enchantress. But Alice Eve is in a closer age group.

Personally, Charlize Theron as Hela would be really intriguing...

Unfortunate, but glad to hear Branagh had a great time and would do another one, if he could. I hope him staying on as a producer will be a help to our new director.

Thor wasnt very good. Branagh did a shitty job, besides from the few cool parts the movie is horrible with its lame jokes and gags. I am happy to see a new director and Monster is a great movie. I have high hopes!

Charlize Theron

That must be the reason it was a big success.

Hit vs Flop. Yeah I can see why you would put them in the same boat.

Whatever.

Patty Jenkins has to prove she can handle something of this scope for the sequel. I would like to see more of Asgard, the landscapes, rather than just the throne rooms again.

Just keep thinking like that in your little world of yours.
