Kenneth Branagh Reflects on Directing Thor

Kenneth Branagh's latest film as director is the incoming live action take on Cinderella, that Disney is releasing later this month. That's likely to become his biggest hit to date, a title that is currently held by his sole contribution to the Marvel cinematic universe, Thor.

His Thor film introduced Chris Hemsworth into the role (as well as Tom Hiddleston as Loki), and was a success for Marvel. However, when it came time to shoot Thor: The Dark World, Branagh's name wasn't on the credits. Instead, Alan Taylor - now finishing up Terminator: Genisys - directed the film.

Chatting to The Hollywood Reporter, Branagh didn't rule out returning to do another Marvel movie. "What I found was that I enjoyed the process of working with those people and I loved the boys and the girl. The girls as well. It was great. So that was fun."

Yet on the downside, "it was a long time and they were way too quick for me to get straight back into another single sort of story in terms of working on it at that time, so who knows. Who knows."

Thor: The Dark World followed the original by just over two years.

"It was a pleasurable experience and a film I'm very proud of, and one I was very lucky to be able to make and did me a lot of good from which I learned an incredible amount."

"I'm very grateful to them," Branagh added.

That's still some way from throwing his hat into the ring to direct the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok, mind. He does plan to tackle Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale on screen at some point, however...
