Kenneth Branagh Says He ‘Would Love’ To Direct Another ‘Thor’ Film: ‘I’d Always Wanted to Do More and Indeed Had a Couple of Ideas’

  • Kenneth Branagh wants to direct another Thor movie!
  • He has fresh ideas to bring back the God of Thunder.
  • Why we think this could be absolutely epic.

You won’t believe what we just heard! Seriously. Kenneth Branagh, the genius director behind the very first 2011 Thor film, is ready to dive back into the Nine Realms.

He told Business Insider that part of him “would love to finish my relationship with that character.” That’s right. He wants to return! And guess what? He’s not just wishing. He “always wanted to do more and indeed had a couple of ideas.”

We’re talking about the guy who gave us that grand, almost operatic vibe for Asgard. The rich colors. The epic scale. Remember how the Rainbow Bridge just popped? It felt like a story ripped right from a classic saga, which was just *chef’s kiss*.

Those ideas? We’re all ears. Especially after he’s talked before about wanting to direct another ‘Thor’ film in the vein of 2017’s ‘Logan’. That gritty, character-focused take? Yes, please.

It’s always cool to hear artists passionate about their work. It’s a different kind of passion than what Isa Briones is dealing with, telling theatergoers to chill out! But hey, all kinds of news keeps us on our toes!

While we’re talking about iconic looks and returning to beloved stories, have you checked out how Zendaya became Princess of the Met Gala? She just consistently serves up amazing visuals, season after season.

Our Take

We think this is fantastic news. Branagh truly understood the blend of myth and superhero, giving Thor a gravitas that really grounded the character. His first movie felt big. It felt important. To have him return with fresh eyes and a decade more of experience? It could be exactly what the God of Thunder needs for his next big screen adventure. We’re picturing something visually stunning, full of heart, and maybe a little more dramatic. Bring it on, Kenneth!
