Branagh's next project

According to this Variety story, Kenneth Branagh is in negotiations to direct Marvel Studio's Thor, which is set for 2010. Presumably the film will introduce the character and set him up for The Avengers, which is due out a year later.

I'm cautiously psyched about this choice. Yes, Branagh hasn't flexed his action chops in awhile, but neither had Bryan Singer before he did X-Men. Branagh has talent. How it will translate to this material is a question, but I'm feeling pretty good about my belief that he won't make a crappy movie.
