Kenneth Branagh told the
L.A. Times that he was initially hesitant to go 3-D on
Thor because he felt it was all "math and physics" and way over his head, but he warmed to the idea:
"We came to feel that in our case 3-D could be the very good friend of story and character for a different kind of experience.
"It's another draft of the story that can reveal itself in a different way," he said. "I had a healthy degree of skepticism up front ... I've become somebody extremely excited about working with possibilities of doing it this way.
"A pretty careful conversation is what we've been having for quite some time about what we know has to be the most sensible decision: Is it led by story? Can this offer a different type of experience and exploit what we have in the story? It absolutely can ... we travel very long distances in the movie and the opportunity to export and exploit the journey of the hero is really offered up as a great potential enhancement here." Thor stars
Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Jaimie Alexander, Ray Stevenson, Rene Russo, Tadanobu Asano, Idris Elba and
Sir Anthony Hopkins.

For his part,
The First Avenger: Captain America director
Joe Johnston said that he still has his doubts about 3-D, though he now considers it "a new challenge" and "exciting":
"I think [3-D] tends to be overused and can be a little bit gimmicky. A lot of people are using 3-D now because they feel have they have to ... that will come and go and the pictures that deserve to be in 3-D will continue to be. When it's done bad, it can make you carsick." The First Avenger: Captain America stars
Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan, Hayley Atwell, Dominic Cooper,
Neal McDonough and
Hugo Weaving.
The First Avenger: Captain America opens July 22, 2011!
