THOR

Marvel Studios is really keen on giving this film a high profile shot at the cinemas and really hoping that they can make some major breakthroughs in bringing the story of THOR.

However things only seem reaching dead ends as of the moment. Director Michael Vaughn was almost locked to take over the project ...but as of now he is no longer attached.

The latest news doing the rounds is actor director Kenneth Branagh is really a top choice. Maybe Marvel is really trying to give a Shakespearan feel to the whole THOR saga when you consider how strongly Branagh is attached to stage and theatre.

Even causing rumours to spread like fire is the casting stories. There has been talks of Brad Pitt being the man. A whole lot audiences also is suggesting WWE wrestler Triple H as a very likely candidate.

Controversies also follow with the plot and script as well. While THOR in the Marvel comic is about how a medical student realises his alter ego is a Norse God, the makers are trying to woo the LOTR fans with a period fantasy focusing on THOR himself. Hence it becomes an important plot device that could actually get the audience split over it.

The film is scheduled to release on JULY 2010...a few weeks after IRON MAN 2 makes it to the screens!
