In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Thor and Cinderella director Kenneth Branagh has talked in depth about his career, touching specifically on his experience working with Marvel and what it was like to be part of that studio. Just how well did he get along with Kevin Feige and their way of doing things? For a lengthy transcription of his Marvel related comments, click here. As for whether or not he would be interested in working with them again, he said: "Yeah, I mean what I found was that I just enjoyed the process of working with those people and I loved the boys and the girl. The girls as well. It was great. So that was fun. But it was a long time and they were way too quick for me to get straight back into another single sort of story in terms of working on it at that time, so who knows. Who knows. It was a pleasurable experience and a film I'm very proud of and one I was very lucky to be able to make and did me a lot of good from which I learned an incredible amount, so I'm very grateful to them." Would you like to see him helm Thor: Ragnarok?

i wouldn't mind about Branagh coming back. They swap all shakespearean motives from part 1 and replace them with GOT themes. Then they went to London and the idiocracy begin.

Enjoyed both Thor movies.I think I liked the second one slightly more,it could of had less humor in it & Portman/Foster needs to be killed off same with the other annoying earthlings.

Thor is heads and shoulders above Thor TDW. I don't know what people are thinking when they say The Dark World is better than the first Thor movie. Now if we can just get the first Thor movie mixed with the overall scale of the Lord of the Ring trilogy and have the budget of Thor The Dark World, then we'd be golden! Oh and ditch Earth and those insufferable interns. Make the main villain an actual threat and give him/her some development this time.

Also I wouldn't mind Kenneth Branagh coming back to direct Thor Ragnarok. He understood the characters relationship and that showed in the first movie. I just think that he needs to get a better choreographer if he does come back. The Thor movies have been severely lacking in terms of action scenes.

@FordEl He didn't specify if it was Marvel or DC though, just said it wasn't Spidey.

Ayer confirmed SS will be in same universe as MoS and JL, in case anyone was doubtful.

(Can't embed, on mobile). Hopefully we see Joker tommorow. Leto IS in Toronto, after all. Plus Ayer is teasing, man. I can't wait for more DCCU news.

I won't mind if returned to do Thor 3. I liked the first movie. Kenneth's job was far more difficult than any of the directors who were handling the earthbound character. If Thor didn't work -there goes the MCU. So I can imagine what he could do -if there is a powerful script behind Thor: Ragnarok.
