Patty Jenkins Leaves Thor 2

While comic book fans everywhere are already gearing up for the release of Marvel's huge superhero ensemble movie The Avengers next Summer, they won't likely have forgotten that a sequel to the hit film Thor is on its way the year after too. However, yesterday brought the sad news that proposed director Patty Jenkins has decided to leave the project, leaving Marvel to be on the hunt to find a new director for Thor 2 as soon as possible! Jenkins said: "I had a great time working at Marvel. We parted on very good terms, and I look forward to working with them again." From what insiders have gathered, it appears Jenkins did not like the idea of being constrained by the tone and stylistic requirements of a sequel, so will return to Marvel when she can direct the first entry in a new franchise or a standalone film where she can have more input in the overall direction. Nonetheless, Marvel insist a new director will be announced very soon; Thor 2 is due for release in November 2013.
