Kenneth Branagh is the perfect choice to make a film about Nordic superhero Thor, according to the man who currently writes the comic books.
J. Michael Straczynski says the British director will make a good job of Marvel’s forthcoming Thor film.
“Honestly, I can’t imagine anyone better suited to this,” Straczynski, who also created Babylon 5 and most recently penned the Clint Eastwood-directed Changeling, told MTV.
“Thor, at his best, has always had a classical bent to the character in terms of his history, the way he speaks, and the often Shakespearean intrigues and dramas that surround him.”
Branagh of course has directed films based on Shakespeare's Hamlet and Much Ado About Nothing.
