AfterIron Manhelped put mirthful Christian Bible adaptations back into the plans of every film studio in Hollywood in 2008 ( by demonstrate that " B - List " superheroes can launch franchises if done right ) , Marvel Studios rushed to develop what became known as Phase 1 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe . Iron Man 2 , Captain AmericaandThorwere all quick greenlit alongsideThe Avengers , the film that would fetch all of theses reference together .
ForThor , Marvel enlisted William Shakespeare aficionado Kenneth Branagh to direct the first big screen foray into the Marvel ’s version of the nine realms of Norse Mythology and the gold metropolis roll in the hay as Asgard . LikeCaptain America : The First Avenger , the film was a success and take in a followup , and also likeCaptain America , its followup was helmed by somebody else . Anthony and Joe Russo adopt over fromThe First Avengerdirector Joe Johnson to helmCaptain America : The Winter Soldier(and are back forCaptain America : Civil Warand the next twoAvengersmovies ) andThor : The Dark Worldserved as the feature film directorial introduction for Alan Taylor ( Game of Thrones ) .
Taylor was n’t as great a conniption with Marvel as the Russos were though , and just like it was unclouded too soon on that author and directorJoss Whedon would part ways with MarvelafterAvengers : Age of Ultron , when we metAlan Taylor on the set ofThe Dark World , the constantly - in - magnetic field mental process of making a massive Marvel production on a mingy schedule did n’t sit down well . We knew he would n’t helpThor 3 . And he ’s not . It might really be Kenneth Branagh who returns , if the later rumor are to be believed .
The subtitle of the thirdThormovie was revealed in October at Marvel ’s fan and press solar day where they unveiled the release schedule and title for Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe . Thor : Ragnarok , which is being write by Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost , would spread in theaters in 2017 , and it surprised no one . Kyle , who producedThe Dark World , has long hinted that thenextThorwould likely reach on the Ragnarok eventfrom the comics .
Heroic Hollywood’sUmberto Gonzalez appeared onPopcorn Talkand revealed that Branagh may have been propose the director ’s chair forThor : Ragnarok , that Marvel desire to work with him again . He ’s allegedly also being offered a hazard to direct Twentieth Century Fox ’s take on the Agatha Christie classicMurder on the Orient Express Film , so that would be a conflict should he choose the latter .
Ragnarok , according to Marvel Studios President of the United States of production and super producer Kevin Feige , has amajor part to play in the bigger story of the Marvel Cinematic Universeand its title mean Asgard is in for a reckoning . That means Marvel needs to find a director who can handle a large ensemble of persona and large - scale , fantastical action . Thorwasn’t a homerun for critics , and Branagh did n’t fare too well withJack Ryan : Shadow Recruit , but he did put himself back in the respectable graces of Disney after the critical and fiscal achiever ofCinderella . Interestingly enough , while promotingCinderellathis spring , Branagh did say he ’d be open to working with Marvel againif the right lance come along . If anything , Branagh was implemental in the tremendous cast ofThor , characters of which still remain some of Marvel ’s dear .
The existent dubiousness however , is whether or not the mighty Thor will really jade his helmet …
