In a recent interview with Empire Online Matthew Vaughn discussed his feelings about the film.
"My only concern initially was that it's another fantasy film [after Vaughn's last movie, Stardust], but it's different in the sense that it's a superhero film set in the world of fantasy," Vaughn told the site.
Vaughn added: "You've got Thor and Odin, and it's set in Asgard. It's not going to be like Lord of the Rings or even Narnia. I think it's important to keep it comic-book. We're not doing the Thor of Norse mythology. We're doing the Marvel Thor."
But one thing is certain, Vaughn added. "They actually said to me, 'You are going to make Thor more macho? Right?' Well, don't worry: Thor's not going to be wearing a dress."
