Verily???

You know, just when I think the Marvel Studios Avenger-type movies can't sound any better I come across rumors like this. (Here's a more official rumor type source.)

Methinks the variety writer has never been a Thor reader if he finds the choice of Kenneth Branagh as director "surprising". Then again, I find the choice surprising. Surprising as in "AWESOME."

What is it with Marvel Studios and their ability to pick people that makes me go "...I can TOTALLY see that." It started with Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, and doesn't seem to have missed a step since. (Well, at least when I ignore all the rumors that I don't like. :-P).

I would have never have thought of Branagh myself, I admit, but well, who better? And this way, we'll be fairly sure to have some decent Shakespearian dialogue now, won't we?

Hee.
