I agree. This is the way to go

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

Yeah, I know alot of people that didn't know The Dark Knight was a sequel to Batman Begins because of the different names.

I might sound crazy, but it's true

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

I agree that THOR 2 alone is too bland. Given that it going to spend most of it's time on Asgard and the other nine realms, I'd go with THOR: PRINCE OF ASGARD.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

Thor 2: God of Thunder
Thor 2: Hammer of the Gods
Thor 2: Goldilocks

This :up:

Or it could be THOR 2: PRINCE OF ASGARD

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

LOL. Seriously, it would be cool to see more about them and the Asgardian's immortality.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

I agree that a combination of subtitles and numbers are important .
For Example ,
Iron Man 3: this time we have a different writer than 2, WE SWEAR !!:woot:

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

Good one!

How about: Thor and the Nine Worlds.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

If he's exploring the Nine Realms, I think the subtitle should be obvious: Thor 2: Journey into Mystery. :thor:

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

This is the best title of the film so far, with God of Thunder and Prince of Asgard.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

We have a winner here.:cool:

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

Could be.

Here's another scenario:

THOR 2: Prince of Asgard
THOR 3: God of Thunder
THOR 4: Journey into Mystery

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

I think they should go the classy root, like the 70's/80's Chris Reeve Superman movies and use Roman numerals to delineate it as a sequel, like Thor II. Of course another idea would be to use a Norwegian numeral that morphs into the number 2 in a title sequence. But yes, the Roman Numeral might make it pretty unique.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

Well-played, sir

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

Yeah, I've always thought the Roman Numerals "II/III" looked alot better behind a sequel's title than a regular 2 & 3.

I;d be happy with either one of these as the title for Thor 2

Thor II: Journey Into Mystery

Thor II: God of Thunder

Thor II: Son of Asgard (

^ I like "Son" better than "Prince" for some reason

Kenneth Branagh: 'Thor' Director 'Very Excited' About Patty Jenkins Taking Over for 'Thor 2'

When Marvel confirmed that 'Thor' director Kenneth Branagh would not be back for 'Thor 2,' fans were a bit puzzled. After all, although Branagh -- best known for his work directing and acting in Shakespeare adaptations -- was initially considered a surprise pick to helm the superhero movie, he ended up turning 'Thor' into a box-office smash worldwide. Over the weekend, Moviefone spoke with Branagh about why he wasn't doing 'Thor 2' and whether it was, as Deadline reported, an amicable decision between both parties.

"[It was] simply timing," Branagh said. "I loved doing the movie, I'd love to do another movie for Marvel, and it was just timing. The requirement for me was just to get back in the saddle so swiftly that it wasn't really feasible, but it was a decision [Marvel] understood."

Not only are there no hard feelings about the decision, but Branagh is even supportive of 'Thor 2' director Patty Jenkins.

"I, along with a lot of other people, are very excited about the appointment of Patty Jenkins," he said. "I think that's a great choice to direct the movie. I know that Kevin Feige and all the people I worked very closely with, who were absolutely parts of the creation of that movie, are keen to produce a great second picture. So it was the right decision for me and for them and I am really looking forward to see how the second one develops."

Jenkins is perhaps even more of a surprise pick than Branagh was. She is best known for directing the 2003 drama 'Monster,' starring Charlize Theron as the serial killer Aileen Wuornos (a role that won Theron her Oscar), a film that doesn't exactly translate over to the superhero genre. Whether Jenkins can meet Branagh's expectations won't be known to moviegoers until the summer of 2013, when 'Thor 2' is scheduled to hit theaters.

Make sure to check back with Moviefone later this week for the full interview with Branagh, where he discusses 'Harry Potter' (he played Gilderoy Lockhart in 'Chamber of Secrets') and gives his thoughts on portraying acting legend Sir Laurence Olivier in the upcoming 'My Week With Marilyn.'

Well, I'm sure there'll still be conspiracy theories about marvel being ''cheap'' and that it's their fault Branagh is not coming back. :D

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

Maybe once he rests up he could be back to direct Thor 3?

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

That would be very welcome.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

Why yes it would, I'm all for Branagh finishing out the Thor trilogy.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

If Patty Jenkins does a great job as I expect her to,
I have no problem with her coming back for 3.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

I really wished Branagh would come back

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

I dont think Branagh was saying that he was too tired.
Marvel wanted to get started right away.
Branagh , for whatever reason, didnt or couldnt.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

Same here, but I'm sure Marvel knows what they're doing by choosing Patty Jenkins to take his place.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

In such a case, neither would I.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

Agreed.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

i like it http://forums.superherohype.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

I really hope that Patty doesn't doesn't drop the ball big time. She better be selfless enough.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

I remember that too. I'm trying to recall where I read that tho.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

Yeah, the only thing I'm worried about is the action scenes not improving from the first film but I'm fairly confident in her abilities in just about every other area.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

She'll do just fine, as did Branagh.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

Yeah, I just hope that we get a couple Thor vs Executioner fights of the same caliber as Spidey and Doc Ock's in Spider-Man 2.

I know it's a bit of a stretch, but it's possible especially since with THOR 2's increased budget. :woot:

:thor::thor::thor:

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

Well, whatever they have in store for Thor 2 I certainly hope they progressively raise the bar of escalation with it culminating in the looming threat of Ragnarok. Maybe Odin trying to put off his Odinsleep for so long in Thor was because he knew that Raganrok would be coming soon. That's just my speculation.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

Yeah i'm the same, I still wish Branagh was returning as I feel he would improve on the action scene's in the first movie as well as everything else.

With Jenkins it feels like a fresh start and there is an uncertainty that comes with that, like with what I felt with Branagh on the first movie. Branagh blew my socks off in all honesty, I didnt think he could do so well with a Thor movie, so hopefully Jenkins can go beyond that, by developing the characters further and giving us action scene's that top the ones from the first movie in every way.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

That's exactly how I feel about it.:cool:

Btw, Jinouga, I like your idea about linking the Odinsleep to an upcoming Ragnarok.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

Why thanks! Now Marvel can hire me to collaborate on the script for the sequel. :p

I believe it was Frigga that said something about this Odinsleep coming at such an unusual time. I have a feeling that the things Loki has been doing while in his self imposed exile and in the Avengers is like that one domino that starts the chain of events that puts the universal order out of whack.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

I really can see that being explored in the sequel.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

In my humble little opinion considering everything that has occurred in the Marvel movie universe and what will occur I think in terms of the progression of events in the Thor movies Ragnarok will be the eventual outcome. It would be nice for Loki to have an evil little moment where in a pique of madness he tells Odin that they all deserve this.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

I can see ragnarok in the 3rd film and at the end you see agard being reborn

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

Yeah, I think he was going to be more adept with action scenes in THOR 2 since he already crossed the hurdles of THOR being his first big blockbuster.

That doesn't mean Jenkins still can't top the action scenes in the first in every way, there would just be a higher level of certainty if Branagh returned.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

more worlds ya know? :woot:

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

Yes! This is what I've been thinking too! The second movie would be more a calm before the storm with it briefly looking like Loki will do what's right only for that to be a temporary hope with the third movie having everything all hit the fan.

Isn't Branaugh in an Executive Producer position on the sequel? It's not quite in the director's chair but it does entail more hands on control of the creative decisions.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

What do you mean by that Vartha?

Not all producers are as hands on as they should be, but let's just hope that Branagh's love for Thor allows him to aid Jenkins however he can.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

I guess Vartha wanted to imply the bigger budget will be used to create the other worlds.:cool:

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

Or...maybe just the opposite. Kinda sorta.

I like the idea of Thor becoming a sort of Star Wars trilogy, with Ragnarok as the overarching theme (seeds planted in 1, take root in 2, and sprout in 3)....but I'd kinda like to see Thor 3 end with Thor on Midgard, and he somehow gets permanently cut off from Asgard. (Hell, maybe even seeing that happen by the end of 2.)

That would make Thor more of an Earthly superhero instead of an Asgardian one; and I think that was Lee and Kirby's intent from the very start. Asgard is cool and all, but do general audiences care about a superhero defending a distant dimension/planet of immortals all the time, or would they rather see him putting humanity first and being a champion of Midgard?

Besides, if you stay in Asgard all the time, you weaken his ties with the Avengers for future films; and you're unlikely to see Thor's famous earthly foes, like Absorbing Man and the Wrecking Crew.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

Oh ok, and hopefully it can be used to create action scenes on a larger scale.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

I thought Absorbing Man was more connected with the Hulk. I mean they did kind of use his powers for Absorbing Dad in Ang Lee's Hulk movie.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

No, no. Creed got his powers from Loki, and he started out as a perennial baddie for Thor. Later on, he became the go-to guy for unstoppable brick villains, so Hulk was a natural; and he's pretty much battled everyone in the Marvel Universe. But he was a Thor villain from the very start.

Re: Thor 2 news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 1
 

well they've said they're going to be exploring other worlds....you know the ticket prices on air travel these days? lol
