nightwolf Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 According to IMDB its out on the 29th July over here. Annoyingly though, the trailer wasnt shown at my cinema. The trailer looked brilliant, far more impressed than I thought I would be. I put in the general movie thread that I saw this Saturday, I wasn't really bothered about it, until I saw everyone going on, I thought it was brilliant, funny and I got some eye-candy too. Nom.
Murr Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 THOR Sequel Slated For 2013; Kenneth Branagh NOT Returning To Direct! It's been almost two months since Marvel & Kenneth Branagh's praised-THOR movie hit theaters, grossing $437 million worldwide. And with the Marvel Studios' president of production, Kevin Fiege, revealing last month that a sequel had only been discussed, Deadline has surprisingly revealed it's intended release, but that's not all they've revealed. It seems Iron Man 3 won't be the only 2013 sequel with a new director. Marvel Studios 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. 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. Variety reports it'll release July 26! The site further states that Branagh will most likely be involved in some "producing capacity." Regarding who the God Of Thunder will face off with this time around, there were more rumors last month suggesting that The Enchantress and The Executioner were in contention. What do you think? Anyhow, with Iron Man 3 slated for May 3, The Avengers releases May 4, next year! Source - Comicbookmovie. I wasn't sure whether to create a Thor 2 thread or not?
Retro_Link Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Shit, that's not the best of news. Also feel it's coming a year 2 early. I guess we must be looking at a 2014 release for Captain America 2 and The Avengers 2 then... hmm...
Daft Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 It was hardly an amazingly well directed film. It was pretty unbalanced, tbh. It has solid foundations so a sequel shouldn't be too hard to pull off. Might even be a good thing.
Retro_Link Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Too early for a Thor 2 thread? http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/120/1200058p1.html Thor 2 Director Officially Set Marvel announces Patty Jenkins as helmer. Marvel Studios announced today that Patty Jenkins will direct Thor 2, which will be released in theatres on Friday, November 15, 2013. Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman will return to star in the film along with Tom Hiddleston. Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige will produce the sequel to this summer's blockbuster Thor, which has grossed over $448 million worldwide to date. Patty Jenkins previously directed Monster starring Charlize Theron, who won an Academy Award for her performance in the film. Jenkins, who received an Emmy nomination for directing the pilot of AMC's acclaimed series The Killing, has also directed episodes of Entourage and Arrested Development. Most recently, she directed "Pearl," one of the five short films that comprise Lifetime's original movie FIVE. In addition to Thor 2, Marvel Studios is currently scheduled to release Marvel's The Avengers on May 4, 2012, and Iron Man 3 which is slated for release on May 3, 2013.
Mokong Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Awesome that Natalie Portman will be back Though with her being in this and her lack of appearance in The Avengers I'm even more interested how they will explain Thor's return to Earth in that film without her and then how Thor will explain in Thor 2 to her how he returned to Earth for X amount of time, didn't go to she her and likely left her to waste time still trying to find a way to bring him back.
Retro_Link Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Thor might mention her in he Avengers, but on his arrival back on Earth he's got the immediate threat of his brother to deal with, so he does have some justifictation for not giving her a call right away :p... he may well have been watching Loki's destruction on Earth from Asgard. When the film ends Thor will likely depart to find her. But yeah I can't work out how he's getting to Earth... I can only think he learns of the path Loki took (Loki said there are back ways between the realms doesn't he). But then from the trailer it looks to me like Capt may be their to meet Thor when he arrives on Earth (the fight scene)... so maybe SHIELD do find a way?
Cube Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Could the Asgards (I still think of the Stargate ones when I think of that) not simply build a new people cannon wormhole thing?
Happenstance Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Cant help but laugh at the fact that I asked this very question about Thor's return in the Avengers thread earlier and got no replies :p
Ellmeister Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Just watched Thor this week! Really liked it, but wish there was more action personally. Hurray for Thor 2!
