Somehow while in the fervor of New York Comic Con I managed to miss the announcement that Thor 2 has a release date AND and chosen a director to succeed Kenneth Branagh and her name is Patty Jenkins.

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.

 

I’ve never seen her work but I welcome the excuse I needed to go back and review “MONSTER”. I really liked Thor and thought that it was probably the strongest showing out of all the comic movies released this summer and I’m looking forward to see more adventures from my favorite Asgardian. Something about the fact that a female director being chosen, and the implied team up of Loki and Thor by Hiddleston, gives me the impression that we might see some enchantress-ing things in Thor’s future.

I’m looking forward to it!
