Production onThor 2 is pushing ahead after the announcement of its 2013 release date – the godly sequel has just landed a writer in the form of Don Payne.
Payne has worked on a Marvel property before, having been part of a conclave of writers on Fantastic Four sequel Rise Of The Silver Surfer.
He was also responsible for the not-so-super, horribly unfunny Uma Thurman ‘comedy’ My Super Ex-Girlfriend.
Hopefully he’s learnt from the mistakes of those earlier wash-outs and will be able to deliver a decent follow-up to this year’s surprisingly solid Thor.
The next announcement for Thor 2 should be a list of contenders for the director’s chair – Kenneth Branagh, who helmed the first film, won’t be returning for the sequel.
Let the Darren Aronofsky rumours commence…
Thor 2 opens 26 July 2013.

You neglected to mention he was also a credited screenwriter on THOR.

worse luck, the director will probably end up being Brett Ruinator or Len (notso)Wiseman

So two abysmal films and they hire him? Why isn't Branagh returning? Such a shame. I don't think anyone else will be able to do it as well as he did.
