Director Patty Jenkins has left Marvel superhero sequel THOR 2 after citing the familiar ‘creative differences’ as her reason. Jenkins, who helmed Charlize Theron’s incredible Oscar-winning turn as Aileen Wournos in MONSTER was due to take over Kenneth Branagh for the hammer-wielding god of thunder’s follow-up.
The studio is now looking at potential suitors to take over, which means they have to act quickly in order to make sure they meet the films already-set release date of 15th November 2013. That may appear a long time away but considering the extensive special effects work expected in the film it will ease the studios mind if they have a director in place.
The film will again star Chris Hemsworth as Thor, who is already set to appear on the big-screen as the character for next summers hugely anticipated superhero team-up, THE AVENGERS.
