Kenneth Branagh on Possible New THOR Film: 'Never Say Never'

Theatre legend and film director Kenneth Branagh may be returning to direct another Marvel movie.

In a recent interview, Branagh said a new THOR film is a possibility, "I have seen more of the movies and as I've said before I had a good time there. It was a really sort of pivotal moment to me doing Thor and I like them. I like Kevin very much. You know, you never say never. I think I couldn't begin to speak for the complications of their interweaving of this ever-expanding universe, which are totally fascinating to behold.

"But I think they're masters of their own destiny. They know what they want and we all got on terribly well, so I'm sure if they felt there was a spot for me somewhere in there they'd give me a shout. And of course I'd listen, but it's not something I'm actively seeking or looking for, although I am actively enjoying and seeking out the movies every time they come out. So I'm definitely a fan of the world."
