Just two more months...just two more months...
Is the Infinity Gauntlet the Easter Egg or is it something more. Thanos? Skrulls? That Frost Giant looked like a purple-blue Skrull, with those marks on his chin, which is pretty much what Thanos of Titan is. If Asgardians are cosmic alien characters at war with another planet, there is no reason we can't get Skrulls (trolls?) or Thanos or even the Kree inm this film.
POSSIBLE EMPIRE SPOILER: Kat Dennings is Loki in disguise.

Ed, not you too.

That Branagh/Thor image is a commission image I made for my written work at ScreenRant.com.

I have a feeling that Thor, like The Incredible Hulk, will be a one time deal... Branagh isn't exactly known for making sequels. By the way Ed, have I ever said how awesome you are for getting these interviews? Seriously man, great job.

again @Ed, great job. you class up this joint a bit.


God, this next couple of years we're gonna get sooo spoiled!

Hopefully all of these movies will be great enough in themselves to warrent sequels for them all :)

We could be sitting pretty for the next 10 years! Just in time for another SPidey Re-Boot! :)

Kenneth Branagh can DO NO WRONG in my book! 'Thor' is looking to be the GREATEST COMIC BOOK MOVIE EVER*! Hey DC, take a page from Marvel - UNIFY your @#$!-ing universe! Give us fans a Justice League movie or or die a horrid death!


* - So far

I hope THOR is as awesome as the trailers are. Best MARVEL casting since Downey as Stark (although the character needs to get serious at some point). Not really interested in reading what the director has to say about his own film. I'm sure it's positive. But THOR looks awesome.

Thanks for this Ed - good interview.

One (minor) criticism though - you need to work on your sound levels in the post-edit. At the moment either you're shouting or Ken is whispering. ;)

I hate to say it bro but if the studios listened to fans then they would have never canceled the show in the first place. I've seen hundreds of "save this show" petitions and not a single one of them worked. Good luck though.
