Television director Brian Kirk is in early talks to director "Thor 2," according to Variety.
Disney and Marvel Studios announced in late June that the comic book sequel would be released on July 26, 2013, but "Thor" director Kenneth Branagh would not be returning.
Kirk directed three episodes of the first season of HBO's "Game of Thrones," and his resume also includes work on "Boardwalk Empire," "Dexter" and "The Tudors."
Marvel has been good at picking the right director for each of its projects and Kirk, with his extensive history in Shakespearean adaptations, was the perfect choice for "Thor," which featured all of the familial squabbles and betrayals you would expect from one of the bard's plays.
Kirk's work on "Game of Thrones" and "The Tudors" would say he has a similar experience, although his only feature film credit is 2006's "Middletown."
Actor Chris Hemsworth is set to return as Thor, but first he will portray the character in next summer's "The Avengers," which will see him team up with Iron Man, The Hulk and Captain America.
Screenwriter Don Payne is also returning to pen the script for "Thor 2." He was one of three writers with screenplay credit on the first film, released May 3. Two others were credited with the story.
To date, "Thor" has grossed $447 million worldwide.
