Thor was a critically acclaimed movie which did good enough at box office for the studio that a sequel is already in the works. Sadly it won’t feature the director of the first Thor movie “Kenneth Branagh”.
The first Thor movie grossed $437 million worldwide and had a 78% rotten tomatoes average by critics. It was good enough considering it was a entirely new super hero movie and when we take in the fact that such movies usually don’t gross much(like Green Lantern), Thor did more than enough to warrant a sequel.
While Thor was mainly praised for its hero “Chris Hemsworth”, it was also a good effort from director “Kenneth Branagh”. Sadly he won’t be directing this sequel as officially confirmed by Marvel. A new director is yet to be decided but Chris Hemsworth will reprise his role as the “God of Thunder”.
