After spending something like a minute and a half as Nick Fury after the credits of Iron Man, Sam Jackson was in. He probably didn’t know it at the time, but neither Marvel Studios or the fans would ever let that character go. It’s just how these things go.

How can Marvel Studios not disappoint Thor fans and audience members? Bringing character Donald Blake in and having Kenneth Branagh act is a good start.

Director Kenneth Branagh explained when he spoke for the first time about the project this week to MTV that the appeal of Thor is “to work on a story about one of the immortals, Gods, extraordinary beings, inter-dimensional creatures.” Cool.

Rome and Grey’s Anatomy star Kevin McKidd has confirmed that he’s still in the running to play Thor. He’s got the look, but does he have the chops?

Our friend James from the UK dropped us a line this morning saying that he has found Thor in The Incredible Hulk. Hmm…

With The Incredible Hulk making its way onto DVD today, it has got all the various deciders at Marvel making the press rounds. And with that, of course, comes plenty of questions about the plans that Marvel has for its green behemoth.

“Yes, please!” say the writers of Iron Man and the director of The Incredible Hulk

Over the course of the last few weeks, we’ve seen all kinds of comments about the upcoming Thor movie, most of which were negative. With that in mind, we would like to set everyone straight with a list of reasons why Thor is going to work on the big screen.

Over on IGN, you can read the news that Marvel has signed an agreement to shoot its next immediate series of superhero flicks at Raleigh Studios in Manhattan Beach, CA. But the big news is not where they’re shooting, but what they’re shooting.

Paramount Pictures and Marvel Studios announced today that they will be teaming up once again, and again, and again on a slew of upcoming flicks, all in the hopes of recapturing the magic of this past summer’s success.

Marvel Studios could be throwing us a curve-ball, as they have engaged in talks with thespian Kenneth Branagh for the directorial gig on Thor. An interesting choice, indeed.

The feeding frenzy of rumors and speculation around the upcoming slate of Marvel Studios continues, this time with a casting rumor for Thor and a possible Iron Man/Captain America tie-in.

Layer Cake and Stardust director Matthew Vaughn does not have very good luck when it comes to superheroes. Somehow we missed it, but apparently he is no longer attached to Thor.

As expected, Marvel came flying out of Iron Man’s $100 million dollar weekend with a high energy, optimistic outlook on their upcoming film slate.
