Brian Kirk To Direct "Thor 2"

With Kenneth Branagh  refusing to direct a sequel to Thor, the search for a new director may have led to Irish auteur Brian Kirk who is best known for directing numerous episodes of the first season of HBO's hit series Game of Thrones. He is reportedly under major consideration to helm a Thor sequel for Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Pictures. With Thrones he has demonstrated a strong ability to handle a grounded but fantastical setting populated with a large ensemble cast and a rich complex mythology and so this choice may not be much of a surprise.


The Thor sequel would be released on a much grander scale with more action , more amount of Asgardian characters and more Norse mythology creatures and is currently slated for a late July 2013 release.
