That’s a one-size-fits-all headline for the last 12 hours or so, if there ever was one!Last night, Thor 2 director Patty Jenkins pulled out, citing “creative differences” while apparently maintaining a pretty good relationship with Marvel Studios. Deadline had the report first, and their comment that “[Jenkins] will probably end up working on one of these superhero films, but perhaps not on a sequel” led some fans (notably Bleeding Cool) to speculate that the filmmaker, who is more accustomed to smaller films where she has much more creative control, may have wanted to craft her own world (through casting, the visual look of the film, etc.) in a way she just couldn’t, following on the heels of Kenneth Branagh’s successful first film earlier this year.As everyone who reports on it points out, Marvel’s scheduled fall 2013 release date for Thor 2 makes the search for a director a pretty urgent proposition.
