Thor movie information


Screenwriter Mark Protosevich has been hired to write a script for a live-action Thor film and stated that "It's going to be like a superhero origin story, but not one about a human gaining super powers, but of a god realizing his true potential. It's the story of a [sic] Old Testament god who becomes a New Testament god. It will be mythic, but also bear the unmistakable qualities of a Marvel movie, an epic fantasy adventure."[48] In addition director Matthew Vaughn is citing Gladiator as an influence of the storyline.[49]

After being impressed with his work on Stardust (2007), Marvel Studios signed Matthew Vaughn to direct [49] in August 2007. Vaughn intends to start filming in late 2008,[50] while he rewrites Protosevich's script in order to bring down the budget to $150 million. Protosevich's first draft had a cost of $300 million to produce.[51]

After the success of Iron Man, Marvel Studios announced Matthew Vaughn's Thor is set for a release on June 4, 2010. Thor himself will cameo first in Iron Man 2, schedule for release on April 30 that year.[52]
