THOR 2 Director walks...

Ah yes...there is always that Tim Burton!

Let's not write anything we can't take back.

would love to see Gulliermo Del Toro take a crack at the Marvel universe somewhere, but I think he's not a good fit for an established franchise with a look already in place. Mybe he'd be the guy to reboot the FF, and he's been mentioned in conjunction with Dr. Strange.

I beg to differ with you, TB. I think GDT would be a slam-dunk for THOR, especially when I think about some of the stuff from Pan's Labyrinth. I think he could easily work within the confines of the establihed "reality" whilst bringing some of his own vision into it as well.

Just had another thought, too. The director or "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" would probably be a good choice for THOR, too....

Brett Rattner to direct with Eddie Murphy as Balder the Brave and Jackie Chan as Mr. Hyde

It's probably not going to be anyone like that - they're probably going to go down a list and end up with someone not too well known, who meets their basic criteria and is available. Any of the guys you're talking about probably has the next 5 years mapped out in front of them.

It's probably not going to be anyone with a developed and known style - in any case. It's part 2 for one thing - so "vision" isn't really what they're going to be looking for. The other thing is two directors left - so my guess is the script stinks.

BUT - since we're playing pretend, I'd like Werner Herzog to direct. No matter what the script is like, he'd make that thing incredibly entertaining.

Two directors leaving over creative differences does not bode well.

...and Bonham Carter as Jane Foster...

Michael Keaton as Loki

This news does not bode terribly well for the second installment of the God of Thunder. MARVEL and Paramount are gonna have to scramble now to find someone to direct this thing and I only hope that doesn't mean it's going to be some rushed P.O.S. like X3 was.

Who do you guys think should take a crack at Thor? MIB41 and I were talking earlier this week about POTC and (although I've never seen any of them) they LOOK huge and impressive and THAT'S what THOR needs. Perhaps MARVEL could talk Gore Verbinski into helming it?

My first choice would be Peter Jackson, but he's busy HOBBIT-ing around right now....

So----who else?

Feel free to comment and suggest, please...!

Peter Jackson was born to direct Thor

I agree. The man has the vision and the imagination to do THOR justice. When I first saw LOTR: FOTR and saw the Balroc, I thought----man, what this guy could do with Surtur is sick!!!

Tim Burton..............Michael Keaton as Thor.......NOT
