UPDATE: Disney has set a July 26, 2013 release date for Thor 2.
EARLIER EXCLUSIVE: Marvel Studios, which is in production on the Joss Whedon-directed The Avengers, is making a full commitment to Thor 2, with Chris Hemsworth reprising his role as the title hero. Marvel will need to hire a director for that film because, I’ve learned, Kenneth Branagh won’t be returning as helmer. Branagh, who directed the first film and watched it gross $437 million worldwide with a few territories still playing out, will likely be involved in some producing capacity. His exit was “mutual and amicable,” I’m told. That means a big job is out there that a lot of directors and their agents will be chasing over the upcoming holiday.
Disney will today finalize a release date for Thor 2, which will be released sometime in the summer, 2013. Disney and Marvel have already slotted the Robert Downey Jr-starrer Iron Man 3 to open May 3, 2013. So figure that Thor 2 will come later in the summer. Developing…


Marvel and Disney better exercise their sequel clause for Natalie Portman, Stellan Skarsgaard, Anthony Hopkins and Kat Dennings soon. I don’t want Portman getting cast away a la Edward Norton and Terrence Howard because of money issues.
In what possible way was movie Thor a frat boy? When he came to Earth did he suddenly start saying dude in every sentence and getting constantly drunk? He was oblivious to pretty much everything, as was evident by him walking into the pet store and wanting a horse and liking the drink in the diner, demanding another and breaking the cup as he slammed it to the ground.
Come on people, at least TRY with the criticisms.
OMG I loved the movie! In the end I was like “OMG! We need a Thor 2!”. Thx for the info!
Yea I hate how they skipped ALOT of details bt I understand it’s hard to cram a story as complicated as Thor’s….He is my fav superhero tho..to many spiderman,superman, and batman dick riders….BOOM
I really enjoyed Thor and I was hoping there would be a sequel. I just hope the sequel is as well written. I consider it a chick flick although most people don’t understand why. It was adventuresome with some romance and humor in all the right places and in all the right quantities.
Thor was a good movie could have used a little more action after he regained his powers, but if a second was already planned then I can understand why they went that direction. I can’t wait for Thor 2
