MTV caught up with Thor movie director Kenneth Branagh to find out ‘the stories and people’ inspiring the big screen adaptation. The film creators have ravaged the fifty year comic history, and could bring plot elements from any number of places.
“I think that [’Thor’ stories] go through golden patches and purple patches and everyone has personal favorites. […] The recent runs have been marvelous. The J. Michael Straczynski run has been a tremendous achievement.”
“But I’ve also been reading way back, reading classic, vintage runs as well. […] There are many Thors and many accounts of the stories across nearly 50 years of the comics. We look to raid from the best.”
“A lot of the job up to this point has been listening to people who know more and better than I. […] I have a very strong view of how to approach it myself, but I’m still listening and learning happily.”
