Matthew Vaughn, who recently helmed the Stardust movie, is to direct Thor for Marvel Studios. Thor is yet another comic book creation that’s been given the OK for the big screen treatment. It revolves around a blond hammer-wielding Norse god named Thor who is sent by his father, Odin, to protect mankind.
The adaptation has been written by Mark Protosevich and Marvel is hoping for a production start this winter.
