And the Superhero machine just keeps churning them out. The Mighty Thor seems to be the next up to bat. I’ve always thought Thor was an interesting character (and I think he’s Doug’s favorite comic character of all time) and this has possibilities. And despite how horrible Blade Trinity was, the fact that David Goyer is going to write it can’t be seen as anything but good news.
The good folks over at Freeze Dried Movies offer up this:
The IESB chatted with Marvel Studios CEO and film producer Avi Arad about the planned big-screen version of Thor, Marvel Comics’ recently deceased god of thunder. Rumors swirled last week that screenwriter David Goyer (the Blade trilogy, Batman Begins) was onboard the project. Arad confirmed that for the IESB. “Thor is being written now. Actually, David is going to write it,” Arad said at the premiere of Blade: Trinity. “He is a Thor fanatic for a long time. He’s going to write it.”
The article goes on to say that Goyer says it’s not a done deal yet… but he also hopes to direct the film. Yeah, sign me up.
