Thor director?
Apparently, Matthew Vaughan is in negotiations to direct the classic Marvel property, THOR. I don't know how true this is, so treat this as nothing more than interesting rumor at this point, but still, let's discuss the possibility, shall we? I like LAYER CAKE (Vaughan's directorial debut), but I like SNATCH and LOCK STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELLS better, and I remember after the release of REVOLVER, lots of people declaring that its failure was proof that Vaughan was the real creative force behind both of Guy Ritchie's super successes. I still don't want to believe that. I appreciate REVOLVER for what it tried to be, I just think it was too clever for its own good. If it was all Vaughan though, then more power to you, pal. As I'm sure you know, he was at one point attached to direct X-3, but dropped out fairly late on (so someone really thinks he would be good for comic-adaptations). It may also hurt to remember that he was the one responsible for the casting of Vinnie Jones as Juggernaut, which I can't see as anything but a complete failure. Vaughan's upcoming flick STARDUST looks pretty cool though, and is enough for me to think that he could do THOR some justice. But what do you guys think?

Not as much as the Fantastic Four films, but hey, they're making the money back... so why not make it?

If Thor was done with a good percentage of it as a mythological fantasy movie, as apposed to a 'spandex' superhero film, it could be pretty good. I haven't read much in the way of Thor comics (more of a spandex hero reader myself), but I'll be looking forward to it getting the green light.

And for all the Thor-Haters: He is actually a pretty cool character when treated as an update on Norse mythology rather than your stereotypical superhero.

As for the Vinnie Jones thing, who else would have played Juggernaut? Some random wrestler, wannabe actor? Would that have really been that much better? But while we're on the topic of X3, Vaughan supposedly had a big role for Stacy X in his original script that didn't sound too appealing as the character's persona was basically the same as Mystique's, she just had different powers.
