We’ve known for awhile that Kenneth Branagh would not be returning behind the camera for the sequel to Thor, which lands in July of 2013, but it sounds as though his replacement might soon be announced.

That replacement has a pretty impressive CV, but NOT in the world of film. Brian Kirk is better known for television work, including episodes for Games Of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire.

From the reports, it sounds like his ability to juggle large casts is one of the big reasons Marvel thinks he’d be a good fit.

Sound like a good idea or would you guys prefer a bigger name?
