| Kenneth Branagh, while being interviewed for his current film, Valkyrie confirmed that he will be the director of Marvel Comics' Thor. No word yet on the actor that will fill the titular role. As Branagh said in the interview, it's too early. Read more and see the video at MTV's site, here. This is exciting news. Branagh was the director and star of my favorite film, Henry V. I'm hoping that the rumors of Kevin McKidd playing Donald Blake/Thor come to fruition. McKidd was very impressive in both Rome and Journeyman. |

UPDATE: 12/18/08: IGN has a short video interview with Branagh where they ask the same questions and get the same answers. You can watch it at their site, here, if you wish.
