Who’s going to be calling the shots for Chris Hemsworth in Marvel’s Thor 2? Marvel’s come up with another surprising choice…
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Marvel is as bold as any firm making blockbusters with some of its director choices. We’ve currently got Shane Black attached to Iron Man 3, Kenneth Branagh scored a big success with Thor, and now we’ve got the identity of the likely director of Thor 2.
The identity of said director? Patty Jenkins.
She’s best known for directing Charlize Theron to an Oscar with the film Monster, and she also helmed the pilot episode of the US take on The Killing. According to Deadline, Marvel is closing in on Jenkins as its director of choice for the Thor sequel.
The film, which is likely to bring Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins back, as well as Chris Hemsworth, has a release date of July 26th 2013, and it’s got a bit of a job on its hands to match the original. The first Thor hits DVD and Blu-ray next week.
