Thor Director Kenneth Branagh on the Sequel: I Really Liked What They Did

In a new video interview conducted with Total Film, director Kenneth Branagh praised Alan Taylor's 2013 sequel to his 2011 Marvel Studios film Thor, while acknowledging that he would have made a different movie had he stayed on for the sequel. "Yep, I enjoyed it very much," Branagh said in the interview embedded below. "I think inevitably one would have headed in a different direction because there's so many variants and possibilities across the stories. When we were doing the first one, just literally deciding who was gonna be in, which worlds and realms we were gonna be in took a long, long time. There was much to sift from, so it's inevitable that the choices were always infinite. I really liked what they did, but I would've probably gone in a different direction." Thor: The Dark World will be released digitally in two weeks and then hit Blu-ray at the end of February.
