THOR 2 No Longer Being Directed by Patty Jenkins

Back in September it was officially announced that Monster director Patty Jenkins would be directing Marvel's Thor 2. Today it's being reported that the director is now walking away from the project and won't be bringing the hammer wielding God back to the big screen. Apparently she left the project over creative differences, but Deadline was quick to point out that, "she’ll probably end up working on one of these superhero films, but perhaps not on a sequel." Who knows what film that will be, but if they want to still work with her, we know it wasn't a bitter break-up.

I was never really on board with Jenkins directing this film anyway, she just didn't seem to have the experience to tell the epic fantasy tale of Thor. Hopefully Marvel will be able to pull someone on board who is more suited for the job. The studio is moving on finding a replacement fast, and they are already talking to talent agencies looking at who is available and who is the right choice. Marvel has set a November 15th 2013 release date for the movie, so they've got to find someone quick. It would be great if they were able to get Kenneth Branagh back on board! I doubt it will happen though.

Thor co-writer Don Payne is currently writing the script, and it will be awesome to see where the next adventure of Thor takes us! What are your thought's on Jenkins leaving the Thor 2? Who would you like to see direct it?
